MobileDrawer MVC helper error with no views

[Bil]

In the documentation it says if the views of a mobiledrawer is omitted then the drawer will work on all views.

I have a MobileDrawer setup on my _Layout.cshtml like so:

@(Html.Kendo().MobileDrawer()
    .Name("main-menu")
    .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 210px" })
    .Title("Mobile App")
    .Views("Index")
    .Content(obj =>
Html.Kendo().MobileListView()
    .Items(root =>
    {
        root.AddLink().Icon("inbox").Url("Index", "Outage").Text("Report New Outage");
root.AddLink().Icon("inbox").Url("About", "Home").Text("About");
    })
    )
    )

However if I remove the Views() method I get an null exception? I expected it to just work on any page.

Thanks

Hi,

this seems strange - the Views is not a mandatory option, indeed. Can you post some more details about the exception? A test case would also help; thank you in advance.

Petyo, using Kirils example from this page:

http://www.telerik.com/forums/using-the-mobile-drawer-in-_layout-in-mvc

Simply remove line 168 from _Layout.cshtl (the .Views one) and you get the null reference error.

Is there a work around for this?
