Solution Upgrade no longer detects selected project

[Robert]

I recently updated all my Telerik controls (using the control panel) and now projects that were previously created with the Kendo UI Visual Studio extension will not permit me to upgrade. The error I get is "No Projects Selected" and then instructions to go back and select at least one project. The Kendo upgrade item in the right click menu does not show up at all, so this errors is coming from running the command from the Telerik tool bar.  All of the extensions are updated to most current via the control panel and via a check for extension updates in Visual Studio.  Creating a new C# Kendo UI MVC Application works fine and the project is manageable by the extension

Hello Robert,

Thank you for contacting us!

The issue that you have described is really strange. We haven't met such behavior before and can't give you exact steps to resolve the problem on your side. Could you send us a project that reproduces the issue so that we can identify what is causing it?

I hope to help you resolve the issue on your side quick.

Hi there,

i facing the exactly same problem.

Did you manage it somehow?

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

We have identified another issue that is related to this one in my opinion. The issue is that currently the VS extensions for Kendo UI don't support the .net framework version 4.5.1. Is it possible that your projects target the 4.5.1 version of .net? If this is the case then to my regret the only way for the VS extensions to work is to convert your projects to .net 4.5. We are going to add support for the latest .net version really soon so that you don't face this issue in future but we are not ready yet.

I am sorry for the caused inconvenience. Should you have any future inquires don't hesitate to contact us again.

Hi,

I'm having the same problem although my project runs .NET 4.5.

I'm using VS2012 and I've recently applied update 4 as well as the latest libraries (MVC 5, Web API 2, etc.).

Upgrading the reporting was easy as usual but the Kendo UI upgrade wizard pops the same error as Robert.

Any news on how to solve this ?

Thanks

[Petar]

Hi Christopher,

We haven't encountered the issue the scenario that you have described. I would suggest you to open a separate support ticket and send us you project so that we can try to reproduce the issue on our side.

Hi,

I am now having the same problem. Recently upgraded to 2013.3.1316 (the one that had the browserlink JavaScript bug), however now I can't upgrade to the version with the fix 2013.3.1321.

Any suggestions?

[William Dunn]

I just installed 2013.3.1316 and get the same error message when trying to use the upgrade wizard on a MVC 5 project in VS 2013.

The wizard behaves normally for a MVC 4 project in VS 2013.

Hello guys,

Is it possible that you have upgraded your projects to ASP.NET MVC 5.1? Our Visual Studio extensions are not supporting MVC 5.1 projects yet and I think that is the most probable reason why the upgrade wizard is not recognizing your projects. If you want to use our Visual Studio extensions you will have to revert or MVC 5.0 or you could try upgrading your projects manually by following these steps:

1. Update the CSS files:
   
   1. In your project rename "Content\kendo\[old version]" folder to "Content\kendo\[new version]"
   2. Delete all the contents of "Content\kendo\[new version]" folder and copy and paste the contents of the "styles" directory from version the [new version] install directory(default location is "C:\Program files(x86)\Telerik\")
2. Update the JavaScripts files:
   
   1. In your project rename "Scripts\kendo\[old version]" folder to "Scripts\kendo\[new version]"
   2. Delete all the contents of "Scripts\kendo\[new version]" folder and copy and paste the contents of the "js" directory from version the [new version] install directory(default location is "C:\Program files(x86)\Telerik\")
3. Update Kendo.Mvc.dll reference by removing the old reference and then adding new reference to the Kendo.Mvc.dll from the new version's install directory.
4. Open "Views\Shared\_Layout.cshtml" and update every reference of [old version] folders to [new version]

I hope this will help you.

[William Dunn]

Yes, that is the reason.

thanks

[Graham]

Thanks for the reply - you are right I had upgraded to 5.1. Thankfully TFS came to the rescue so it was easy to revert.

Cheers,

Graham

Is there an update on when the VS 2013 Extension will support MVC 5.1 and .NET 4.5.1 ?

Our current project is taking advantage of some newly added MVC 5.1 features making it impossible to revert back to MVC 5.

[Vesko]

Hi Bobby,

The support for MVC 5.1 and .NET Framework 4.5.1 is under testing and will be released in short terms.

Is this problem solved? Have the same problem with 5.1 and the just released 1q version of Kendo.

[Vesko]

Hello Jan,

Please check if the extensions are up to date (Help | About Microsoft Visual Studio). The version should be 2014.1.318. If that is not the version - uninstall UI for ASP.NET MVC (Q1 2014) and give the installation another try. This will bring the latest extensions.

The update problem was cause by a temporary issue on our website.

[Jan Olsmar]

Thanks! I reinstalled and now it works fine.

[Bobby]

Where are we supposed to obtain the updated extension from?  The VS Extension Gallery is still showing the old bugged version (2013.3.1320.0):  http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/65b78c2c-951e-43a8-bae7-f9039f59fb9b

[Vesko]

Hello Bobby,

The extensions will be available in the VS Extension Gallery tomorrow. Currently they can be deployed by the installer only.

I think there is the same issue with MVC 5.2 and 2014.2.716.545. I'm using 2014.1.528.545 for two projects (one on 5.1 and one on 5.2) and upgrade wizard works correct only with 5.1

[Vesko]

Hello Sergey,

Excuse us for the inconvenience.

Currently the extensions do not support MVC 5.2. We work on making them more flexible in regards to new MVC versions. You can expect support for MVC 5.2 soon.

Dear Telerik

Is there an update for the extension to support MVC 5.2?

[Petar]

Hello Andreas,

Our plan is to release new version of the Telerik MVC VS extensions through the Visual Studio Gallery either this week or early next week. You will see notification in Visual Studio once we publish the new version.
