Q2 Upgrade wizard problem

[Jan Olsmar]

Just installed Q2. Tried to upgrade a site. Get this error "Please go back and select at least one project in order to continue the upgrade."

Worked fine before. MVC 5.2
Starting to getting tired on all upgrade errors with new releases.

Hi Jan,

Currently MVC version supported by the Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC extensions is 5.1.1 and if you have updated your project to MVC 5.2 it will not be recognized.

In order to use the extensions with the latest supported MVC version I can recommend you to follow these steps:

1. Update the Microsoft ASP.NET MVC package to the latest supported version - open the Package Manager Console and type Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc -Version 5.1.1
2. Update any other NuGet packages you want, except for:
   • Microsoft ASP.NET MVC
   • Microsoft ASP.NET Razor
   • Microsoft ASP.NET WebPages

Otherwise, if you want to use the latest ASP.NET MVC (v. 5.2) and Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC controls - you can manually add, manage and upgrade the references to the resources you need.

I posted this same issue before seeing this one. Is there an ETA for a fix for the extension so we can use the upgrade wizard?

Hi Roy,

I can't give you an ETA at this time, but it's a common issue which many of the UI for ASP.NET MVC users experience and we are seriously considering adding support for MVC 5.2 as soon as we can. You can expect it in one of our next releases.

Thank you for your patience.

Question: Why is compatibility with CURRENT microsoft ASP.Net MVC an option?  Why is it NOT a requirement?

Question: Where does Telerik maintain clear and explicit communication about compatibility of Telerik tools and controls with CURRENT Microsoft technologies?  

Please note that tools include the "upgrade extensions" to upgrade from one release to the next, and controls include the actual UI ASP.Net MVC wrapper controls used in Razor files.

Hello Carl,

I'm sorry, if I left you with the impression that compatibility with current ASP.NET MVC is an option. It is actually a matter of when. Currently released version of Visual Studio extensions have issues detecting latest ASP.NET MVC version and we are already working on improving this and with the next version of the Telerik Visual Studio extensions these changes will be released.

About the second question - there are sections in the documentation of our products which specify what are the supported frameworks and technologies.
For Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC, such pages are:

• For controls - http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/getting-started/using-kendo-with/aspnet-mvc/introduction#requirements-and-supported-environments
• For Visual Studio extensions - http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/getting-started/using-kendo-with/aspnet-mvc/vs-integration/introduction#introduction

I hope this will help you.
