I am starting a new project.
I was going to use the usual MVC extensions, but i understand that Kendo UI is replacing those.
I installed Kendo UI for ASP.NET MVC using my Telerik Control Panel.
But when i try to start a new project I don't see any templates in my Visual Studio.
Either the installation did not work, or i am not doing this right.
Are there any instructions on how to start working with Kendo UI for MVC.
A maybe a short video?
Thanks.

Hi Andrew,

Currently the Kendo UI installer does not install any Visual Studio project templates. We will release those with a future update.
You can check the introduction help topic for instructions how to get started.Regards,

I have tried following the instructions.
But when i try to type in @(Html.Kendo()
kendo is not recognized.
'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper<dynamic>' does not contain a definition for 'Kendo' and no extension method 'Kendo' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper<dynamic>' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Is there anything else that was omitted in the instructions i need to add?

Hi Andrew,

The instructions provided in the introduction help topic should be sufficient. Can you confirm that you have added the required namespace to web.config? Are you using ASP.NET MVC 4? If yes you need to add binding redirects to your web.config.
If you are still experiencing problems you could attach your project here and we will troubleshoot it.

I'm having the same experience; I've followed the instructions in the introduction article but when I get to the end and try adding the DatePicker line to my view I get the helper error. I'm using MVC3 and have a reference to the Kendo.MVC.dll assembly. Not quite sure what else to look at.
Added the following to the <head> tag in _Layout.cshtml:

<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/kendo.web.min.js")"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/kendo.aspnetmvc.min.js")"></script>
In the View (Index.cshtml) I have:@(Html.Kendo().DatePicker().Name("Birthday"))
The full error message is:

So, I found what feels like a work-around to the error (but maybe it helps point to the actual fix?).
I discovered that if I add "@using Kendo.Mvc.UI" to the top of my View the helpers within that View will work. Nothing in the introduction talks about doing this so it feels like a bit of a hack (and having to add this to each View doesn't feel right either). I've tried adding this to _Layout but that doesn't help; it seems that it needs to be in the View in order to work.
Hopefully this will help get us closer to the problem and [real] solution.

OK - mystery SOLVED!
My problem was that I wasn't paying close enough attention to the Introduction text re the web.config reference change. I added the namespace to the web.config at the root of the project not the one in the Views folder. Once I changed that I was able to remove the @using statement from my View and everything worked.
So, maybe a small suggestion for the Introduction is to add more emphasis as to which web.config should be edited (folks new to MVC like me will likely see "web.config" and just know which file they should edit...and be wrong).

Do you by any chance know how to get the intelisense for this to work?
It fixed the error, but i still don't get intelisense.

The error message I get is different:
Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support this property or method
Needless to say that I followed all the steps of the “Introduction” example. I use MVC 3 with Razor.
Suggestion will be appreciated.
UPDATE: Ok. I just resolved this issue. I made sure the java scripts were available when the 'datepicker' control runs. I did it by including the 'script' references of Kendo UI in the view headers.

<script src="../../KendoScripts/kendo.web.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../KendoScripts/kendo.aspnetmvc.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
I added an datepicker control. Go the below error
Microsoft JScript runtime error: Unable to get value of the property 'extend': object is null or undefined in kendo.aspnetmvc.min.js file
when i added <script src="../../KendoScripts/kendo.all.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> and removed <script src="../../KendoScripts/kendo.web.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> I works fine.

Hello Venkatesh,
I tried to replicate the issue using the latest version 2013.2.716 of our Kendo UI Complete for ASP.NET MVC product but to no avail. I used your razor view definition you shared in a different forum thread in a quick test project which I am attaching to this forum post. No error was produced in my case and the date picker was visualized and functioned as expected.
Can you test that on your machine and compare the results? Any additional insight can help to pinpoint the cause of the abnormality to address it accordingly.
Regards,
Sebastian,

For anybody else having the same problem, it turns out that in addition to re-building the project after adding the namespace to the correct web.config, you must also close and re-open the file in question. Pretty frustrating if you don't already know.

Hello Jon,
Please ensure that the same namespace is added in the global Web.config file as well.
I can also suggest checking the article for the Visual studio integration and its sub-articles:
http://docs.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/vs-integration/
If the issue still occurs, please send as a fully runnable example, reproducing the issue and I will gladly assist.
