UI for ASP.NET MVC with MVC 5.2.2

[Linus]

Question: Is it possible to use UI for ASP.NET MVC with MVC 5.2.2?

Or has the Kendo.MVC project to be re-compiled with MVC 5.2.2 and the related packages?

Hi Linus,

Our UI for ASP.NET MVC assembly is built against ASP.NET MVC 5.0. However, with your commercial license which includes access to the source code of the product, you can build the source against MVC 5.2.2 if that's a requirement in your project, and it should work as expected.

And now, do you have a version with 5.2.2 ?

[Linus]

Yes, it works. If you have full source code you are able to produce easily a 5.2.2-version.

I attached my csproj-File for you. Compare it with the original csproj FILE and notice the difference.

Good luck!

Hello guys,

There isn't a real need to compile Kendo.Mvc.dll in order to use it with ASP.NET 5.2.2 (and 5.2.3).

All you have to do is use a binding redirect in your web.config (which NuGet does automatically if you update the ASP.NET MVC reference with it):

 <runtime>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Mvc" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-5.2.3.0" newVersion="5.2.3.0" />
      </dependentAssembly>
    </assemblyBinding>
  </runtime>

Please find attached a runnable sample which utilizes this approach.
