Sebastian,

Thanks for the prompt reply. I was just wondering this as some product are available in VS 2013 Preview such as Decompiler and Tracer but KendoUI or other productivity tools seems not following same beta availability approach.

Anyhow, its clear and will follow/do manual configuration to KendoUI wrappers.
I believe its pretty much same approach that is used and documented for MVC 4 / VS2012 previously.
Although some places the scripts are located in different files in MVC 5 but anyhow no big deals on there.

If any issues are found I will raise and address them to ensure they are resolved in future version(s).

I get it working, and so far no issues.

I basically follow "Manually add Kendo UI to ASP.NET MVC applications" following the basic copy of files and config file changes.
See the link: http://docs.kendoui.com/getting-started/using-kendo-with/aspnet-mvc/introduction

The instructions are for older MVC but I applied them to MVC 5 as follows:

Add following to BundleConfig.cs file

// create bundle for Kendo UI scripts

bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/Kendo").Include(

"~/Scripts/jquery-{version}.js",

"~/Scripts/kendo/2013.2.823/kendo.all.min.js",

"~/Scripts/kendo/2013.2.823/kendo.aspnetmvc.min.js",

"~/Scripts/kendo/2013.2.823/kendo.panelbar.min.js",

"~/Scripts/kendo.modernizr.custom.js"));

// create Kendo Style Bundle

bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/Kendo/css").Include(

"~/Content/kendo/2013.2.823/kendo.common.min.css",

"~/Content/kendo/2013.2.823/kendo.dataviz.min.css",

"~/Content/kendo/2013.2.823/kendo.bootstrap.min.css",

"~/Content/kendo/2013.2.823/kendo.dataviz.bootstrap.min.css"));

Added following two lines to _Layout.cshtml right after <head> section following the @ directives style.

@Styles.Render("~/Content/Kendo/css")

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/Kendo")

I was kind of disappointed comparing the other Telerik products, but to be frank there isn't that much features in this VS extension. If you having a problem to configure the theme or setting the initial template you could archive it now by creating project in VS2012 and then open it in 2013. Let’s see end of the year what Telerik brings for this extensions, see the original response highlighted below or in this thread 2 days and 17 hours ago.
