While I can understand some of the reasoning behind not bringing them along into Kendo UI, I believe they still have a very useful function.

Not everyone is going to be quick to move the MVC 4, so they would not benefit from the built in minification and bundling.
The .OnDocumentReady method of ScriptRegistrar is very useful for combining your document.ready code into one rather than scattered throughout your page.
While a lot of people applaud the effort of MS to add Bundling and Minification, using it is no where near as friendly to use as the Telerik StyleSheetRegistrar and ScriptRegistrar.

So how about it Kendo / Telerik? Why don't you include these?

Thanks
Alec

What are the plans for KendoUI Mobile support

It is great to see the KendoUI support for ASP.NET MVC, but I was wondering will if it will work seamlessly with KendoUI Mobile as well or if that is on the roadmap.

ScriptRegistrar, compress

Hosting service, I use it, can works only in medium trust mode and I can't to set some parameters like compressing. Up to day I use in Telerik MVC applications code looks like this:
    @(Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar()
        .Globalization(true)
        .DefaultGroup(group => group
            .Add("~/Scripts/modernizr-1.7.min.js")
            .Add("~/Scripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js")
            .Add("~/Scripts/jquery.min.js")
            .Combined(true)
            .Compress(true)
            .CacheDurationInDays(14)
        )

and
    @(Html.Telerik()
        .StyleSheetRegistrar()
        .DefaultGroup(group => group
            .Add("telerik.common.css")
            .Add("telerik.windows7.css")
            .Add("Site.css")
            .Combined(true)
            .Compress(true)
            .CacheDurationInDays(14)
        )
    )
Everythink works fine and typical page speed measured by google pagespeed tools was not less than 85 points with/without CDN.
Now, I would like to use similar code in Kendo UI MVC based programs. How to do it? Testing code used Telerik Kendo UI MVC without compressing gives me not satisfied result equal 54 points :(

HtmlHelpers work fine, but no Intellisense - How to fix?

I've followed the directions from the ASP.NET MVC Documentation page and am using the sample dropdownbox as a test for beginning working with it in my app. Using this code:

@(Html.Kendo().DropDownList()

.Name("color")

.DataTextField("Text")

.DataValueField("Value")

.BindTo(new List<SelectListItem>() {

new SelectListItem() {

Text = "Black",

Value = "1"

},

new SelectListItem() {

Text = "Orange",

Value = "2"

},

new SelectListItem() {

Text = "Grey",

Value = "3"

}

})

.Value("1")

)

The extensions work perfectly. The Kendo UI dropdown box renders as expected (once I removed the event part of the chain). However, I can't seem to get Intellisense working correctly. VS2010 doesn't recognize the Kendo() extension to the HtmlHelper. Any thoughts or help will be most appreciated.

UPDATE: Reboot of VS2010 didn't help, but REBOOT OF PC WORKED!! Intellisense is operational now.
