No extensions installed

[Dustin Carl]

Hello;

I just recently installed Telerik Rad Controls onto my machine in hopes of using the menu. However there is no Telerik extensions showing up in VS2010 professional. Is there a specific version for VS2010 or do I have to reference the libraries manually or something like that.

Thanks

Carl

Hello Dustin,

I'm assuming your question relates to Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC. Let me know if this assumption is correct.

The installer for this product doesn't add anything to Visual Studio directly. This help topic explains how to get started with the Telerik Extensions:

http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-mvc/getting-started-using-telerik-extensions-for-asp.net-mvc-in-your-project.html

I hope this helps.

I have both Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and Visual Studio 2010 installed on my machine, (and Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC Q2 2010).

In VS2008 when I choose New Project I see templates for Telerik MVC applications.
In VS2010 I don't see these templates and cannot create projects from VS2010.

My workaround for now is as follows: I Create the project in VS2008 and save it. I open the solution in VS2010 and convert It and I have a start for a project that I can continue with.

I would like to see the templates added in VS2010 as well as it was cumbersome to get it working in VS2008. Install VS, install SP1, Install ASP.NET MVC2 before installing Telerik Extensions.

I have tried to follow the "using..." instructions mentioned above but it hasn't worked. The Html.Telerik() wasn't visible in the intellisense. I haven't figured out what I did wrong yet.

Hi jörgen,

The issue you are experiencing is very peculiar. Could you help me on the following questions:

• Did you have Visual Studio 2010 installed prior to installing the Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC?
• Are there are any Telerik extensions installed in the Visual Studio Extension Manager?

If the answer to any of the above questions is no, the solution would be uninstalling and then reinstalling the Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC.

I installed VS 2010 prior to installing Telerik MVC.  Telerik ASP.NET AJAX appears to be installed correctly in VS 2010.  I installed Telerick MVC, but it does not appear in VS 2010.  I then uninstalled Telerik MVC and reinstalled, but Telerik MVC still doesn't appear in VS 2010.  Any ideas?

Hello,

I just want to post our findings from the support ticket JonnyDub created.

The absence of Visual Studio integration was caused by the fact that our Visual Studio Extensions were introduced in the Q2 2010 Beta release. The used distribution was an older one, where Visual Studio Extensions are not available.

All the best,

This is the installation order on my computer:

2010-05-06 Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate
2010-05-09 Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team System
2010-05-09 Visual Studio 2008 SP1
2010-05-10 Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010
2010-07-06 Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC Q1 2010
2010-12-09 Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC 2010v3
2011-01-25 Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 3
2011-01-31 Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC Q3 2010 SP1

My Visual Studio Extensions Manager contains the following Telerik Components:
2011-01-31 Telerik MVC VSExtensions 2010.3.1317.0
2011-01-17 Telerik UserSettings VSExtensions 1.0
2011-01-20 Telerik WebUI VSExtensions 2010.3.1317.0
2010-07-13 Telerik.CommonPackage 1.0

Telerik MVC 3 Razor project  v.2010.3.1318.340 works. I can access @html.Telerik.
Telerik MVC 3 ASP.NET project v.2010.3.1318.340 works. I can access <%: Html.Telerik %>
Telerik MVC 2 ASP.NET project v.2010.3.1318.235 doesn't work. I can't access <%: Html.Telerik %>
In all cases I used VB as the programming language. IMHO there seems to be something wrong with the Telerik MVC 2 project templates.

My Webhotel currently only supports MVC 2 So thats why I'm trying to stick to that. I just tried to create a Telerik ASP.NET MVC 3 project and there I could access <%: Html.Telerik. %>. Could the problems be related to the fact that my project was created with an earlier version of Telerik ASP.NET MVC extensions and then upgraded?

To my previous post i attached a dummy project created with the Telerik MVC 2 ASP.NET project v.2010.3.1318.235 template. This is affected with the problem. Perhaps you can look at that and see if there is some problem with the Telerik MVC 2 templates or maybe if the installation somehow has been corrupted on my computer.

I installed MS ASP.NET MVC 3 on the 25th and installed Telerik MVC Extensions SP1 on the 31st. I didn't immediately upgrade my project to the new Telerik extension version but the Telerik.Web.Mvc is copy local so that shouldn't be a problem.

I hope this will give you all the neccessary information to troubleshoot the problem. For now I will try to write the code that I need in my MVC 3 testproject to get the intellisense and then cut and paste the code into my MVC 2 project and test run it there. I hope you can get back to me with a solution soon.

Sincerely Jörgen

Hello Jörgen,

We reproduced the problem locally and reached to the conclusion that the existence of ASP.NET MVC 3 installation on the machine prevents the extension IntelliSense from working in Visual Studio 2010.

I suggest you keep only ASP.NET MVC 2 installed until you are ready to move on to MVC 3.

I hope this is applicable for you.

I contacted my webhost and it seems that they have added support for MVC 3 right after Microsoft released it but after I signed up for my webhotel. I used a conversion tool that I found on CodePlex and converted my solution from MVC 2 to MVC 3 so the problem is solved and I’m safe, atleast until Microsoft releases MVC 4. I am now considering MVC 1 and MVC 2 a thing of the past and sticking to MVC 3 for all my projects.

 

Thanks for the feedback on the conflict between ASP.NET MVC 3 and Telerik MVC 2 Extensions.
