HtmlHelper <dynamic> doesn't contain a definition for Kendo....

[GarfieldTech]

Scan.cshmtl via View:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<Main_Kendo.Models.ScannerViewModel>()                <---  Html.Kendo gets red underline error ??? 

.Name("Grid")         

.Columns(columns =>         

{             

columns.Bound(b => b.Scan).Width(140);             

columns.Bound(b => b.BarcodeImage).Width(140);             

columns.Bound(b => b.DropZone).Width(140);             

columns.Bound(b => b.EnteredBy).Width(100);             

columns.Bound(b => b.EnteredDate).Width(130);             

columns.Command(command => command.Destroy()).Width(110);         

})

Whatever below.... 

)

 

The error message:

HtmlHelper <dynamic> doesn't contain a definition for Kendo and no accessible extension method for 'Kendo' accepting a first argument of type HtmlHelper

Already have ScannerViewModel in Models folder, Kendo.Mvc was missing references that I added.

Hi,

The error you are seeing can be observed when the Kendo.Mvc.UI namespace is not included in the web.config file. Please update the Views/web.config file so it includes Kendo.Mvc.UI. Like this:

<namespaces>
    <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
    <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
    <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
    <add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
    <add namespace="Kendo.Mvc.UI" />
</namespaces>

For more detail on creating application and referencing the Kendo widgets please check out the Creating Applications article. 

In case you have additional questions do not hesitate to contact us again.

Hello Viktor,

Sorry took me long time to get with this.  I have added Kendo.Mvc.UI in the View/Web.config, still error? 

See attached for error message.

Hi,

This error can be observed if there is no reference to Kendo.Mvc.dll in the project. Check out the article below that describes in detail how you can add reference to Kendo.Mvc.dll:

• https://docs.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/getting-started/asp-net-mvc-5#add-kendomvcdll-reference

In case the issue persists after this please send us the project so we can examine it locally and look for what is causing the behavior.
