js/css references cause Visual Studio to abort

[Gibran]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a kendo grid and the js and css references are breaking my application.

Here are my references:

[code]
    <link href="Kendo/examples-offline.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <link href="Kendo/Kendo.common.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <link href="Kendo/Kendo.rtl.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <link href="Kendo/Kendo.default.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <link href="Kendo/Kendo.default.mobile.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Kendo/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Kendo/jszip.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Kendo/Kendo.all.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Kendo/console.js"></script>
[/code]

When I try to start my application in Visual Studio 2015, Task Runner Explorer reports these errors:

...and Visual Studio just quits. The application doesn't start.

Notice the last message reads: Too many errors. (85% scanned).

I'm using the basic example that comes with the free Kendo package. I ported all the references into my solution.

Has anyone else experienced this before? How can it be overcome?

I'm also open to referencing online resources. Does Telerik make the js and css reference files available online?

Thanks.

Hello,

We are not aware of such issue and I was not able to replicate it following the Getting Started With Kendo UI help article.
Here is a video showing my test: https://www.screencast.com/t/mic8BWI1R
The Kendo UI scripts and styles are hosted in Amazon CloudFront CDN. More information could be found in CDN Services help article.

Thanks Misho,

 

The Getting Started article helped. It instructed me to put the dependencies into the root folder and then it started working. I was putting the dependencies in a shared folder and I guess the application is setting to do some special compiling with that folder.

 

It works now, thanks.
