Is this the limitation of Open Source version of Visual Studio Extensions?

Thank you for contacting us.
All the Visual Studio Extensions support Visual Studio Professional edition or above. This is not limitation of the Open Source version of the Telerik MVC Extensions, but comes from a technical limitation of the IDE itself.
If you have Visual Studio 2010 Professional (or above) or VS11 Beta Professional (or above), they will be listed in the features tree too.
Please, do not hesitate to come back to us, if you have any additional questions.
All the best,
Chavdar,

Hi Bill,
Since the manually approach I mentioned in previous message only involves a few simple steps, so I called it "easy ". Here is the procedure that works for me:
1. After MVC 3 component has been installed in your system, add a reference to "Telerik.Web.Mvc.dll" in Solution Explore in Visual Web Designer 2010 Express.
2. Register Telerik MVC namespace to web.config file, like this:
<add namespace="Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI"/>.
-- Note: The location hierarchy is "system.web.webPages.razor --> namespaces"
3. Register Telerik script to _Layout.cshtml file, like this:
<!-- other content -->
@(Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar())
</body>
</html>
-- Note: You may also need to copy Telerik script if you haven't done so.
4. Register Telerik CSS to _Layout.cshtml file, like this:
<head>
<title>@ViewBag.Title</title>
@(Html.Telerik().StyleSheetRegistrar()
.DefaultGroup(group => group
.Add("telerik.common.min.css")
.Add("telerik.vista.min.css")
)
-- Note: You may also need to copy Telerik content if you haven't done so.
That's all. In summary, there are four steps to make Telerik MVC 3 component work in your project. If you have VS professional version, I think the above procedure will be taken care of automatically by Teleric Visual Studio Extension.
Cheers,
