I just set up an existing MVC3 Razor app to use Telerik controls.
I think I have the grid control working ok, however there seems to be an issue getting the themes to work properly.
Following the local extensions example for the grid control, i ended up with this code:
But this line:
is causing an error:
Server Error in '/' Application.
Compiler Error Message: CS1061: 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper<dynamic>' does not contain a definition for 'GetCurrentTheme' and no extension method 'GetCurrentTheme' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper<dynamic>' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Source Error:
Source File: c:\development\MarketingWebsiteTools\MarketingWebsiteTools\Views\Shared\_Layout.cshtml Line: 13

Thanks

This is a internal extension for the demo version, link to a dropdownlist, if you didn't get this extension and didn't ref it, this will never work in other empty telerik mvc project.

Make sure that your default path is pointing to the proper directory:
Also your actual themes may be minified...mine were..so check the names as well..
hope that helps

For me the problem is Html.GetCurrentTheme() not the path...
Html.GetCurrentTheme() is en internal extension, you need to add it in your own project if you want it work :
public static string GetCurrentTheme(this HtmlHelper html)
{
return html.ViewContext.HttpContext.Request.QueryString["theme"] ?? "vista";
}
and in your View you need something to call the new theme like this <a href="YourUrl?theme=default" class="t-drop-down">default</a>
PS: this is ONLY in the DEMO site, it's not include in the Telerik core dll...

GetCurrentTheme should be a stand alone extension (static class)
public static class ThemeExtender
{
public static string GetCurrentTheme(this HtmlHelper html)
{
return html.ViewContext.HttpContext.Request.QueryString["theme"] ?? "vista";
}
}
don't forget to add the namespace in the view
public static class ThemeExtender
{
public static string GetCurrentTheme(this HtmlHelper html)
{
return html.ViewContext.HttpContext.Request.QueryString["theme"] ?? "vista";
}
}
don't forget to add the namespace in the view

My Suggestion: Don't include GetCurrentTheme in your examples. It's confusing and I almost reject the possibility of take this set of control seriously. The error was not clear and I though initialy that it was part of some classes that the template should install for you.
