[Solved] Html.Telerik().StyleSheetRegistrar & ScriptRegistrar

[Roy]

I am using MVC 3 razor engine and I started to try out some UI features provided by telerik extension. I guess the first thing I am stumbled with is this StyleSheetRegistrar & ScriptRegistrar methods provided by telerik helper, which registers a group of telerik-related stylesheets like "telerik.examples.css, telerik.common.css, telerik.rtl.css, etc.
1. Can I just register them in _Layout.cshtml as the following:
 <link href="@Url.Content("~/Content/telerik.examples.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
 <link href="@Url.Content("~/Content/telerik.common.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
2. Is there a good resource for telerik-extension and razor related topics?
3. We are not sure whether we want to stick with telerik-extension or move forward to Kendo UI. We are not aiming at MVC 4 for our current projects so we knew probably telerik-extension will work just fine, but we definitely don't want to invest our time on some transitional products such as some windows OS like Windows vista or ME?
Thanks!

Hi Roy,

1. Yes, you can.

2. http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-mvc/using-with-the-razor-view-engine.html

3. I recommend you to go with Kendo UI, and possibly its MVC wrappers. Development on the MVC extensions has been discontinued, except for bug fixes.
