Hi all,
I'm new on Telerik and I want to ask you a question.
I installed it with the installer for MVC3 and all goes fine.
I added the reference to my project and the line on web config in the namespace section. When I try to use Telerik tag VS2010 doens't recognize it suggesting me to add a using or something like that, but if i try to build the solution, I receive no error.
And if I launch my application at runtime I got the error:
Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.
Compiler Error Message: CS1061: 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper<dynamic>' does not contain a definition for 'Telerik' and no extension method 'Telerik' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper<dynamic>' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Line 3: <head>
Line 4: <title>@ViewBag.Title</title>
Line 5: @(Html.Telerik().StyleSheetRegistrar()
Line 6: .DefaultGroup(group => group
Line 7: .Add("telerik.examples.css")
Should I add others lines code in web config to make recognize tag ?Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi Alfredo,
The build process is different from the design time experience, handled by Visual Studio, hence you don't get any errors while building the project.
Did you by any chance try creating a new project using the Razor view engine?
If that true, please add the following to your web.config file (under the configSections node) to get intellisense running:
<sectionGroup name="telerik">
<section name="webAssets" type="Telerik.Web.Mvc.Configuration.WebAssetConfigurationSection, Telerik.Web.Mvc" requirePermission="false"/>
</sectionGroup>
By the way, you could use the New Telerik MVC Project template too. The wizard will automatically add these registrations for you.
Let me know if that helps.
Kind regards,

Hi,
thanks for reply.
I added the snippet on config section, but I got the same behaviour...Tag not recognized and exception on runtime.
Unfortunately the project is yet activated and I can't now restart one with the Telerik template....next time i'll do !!! :)
Should I add others lines code?
Thanks,
Alfredo

Hi,
I noticed that if I add the @using directly on the page it works. It seems that it doesn't see the line code on namespace section on web config. That's tell you something?
Thanks,

Hi Alfredo,
The problem might be that you're registering the reference to Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI in the system.web / pages / namespaces tag in web.config. This will be ignored by the Razor view engine.
You have to use system.web.webPages.razor / pages / namespaces. Please see this help topic for detailed instructions:
http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-mvc/using-with-the-razor-view-engine.html#NamespaceImports

Regarding @Tsvetomir Tsonev last post: use the web.config file in your Views directory, not the main web.config file.

Thanks! Adding this to the web.config inside of "views" worked!
<add namespace="Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI" />
<add namespace="Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI" />

I'm having the same problem using the 1Q 2012 build of the MVC 3 tools. I just started a new MVC 3 project using the Razor view engine, and wanted to get this working. I just created a new Telerik MVC (Razor) project and compared my web.config files to the telerik project, and there were many many differences between them. The interesting thing though is I get the same issue in both projects. It thinks that the Telerik() namespace does not exist, and gives me an error in design time (however it works fine at run time). Since it gives an error in design time, intellisense does not work, and this is a fairly large problem for me since I'm just starting out. In both instances, at the point of @Html.Telerik(), there's a "System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper<dynamic>" error saying that it "doesn't contain a definition for Telerik and no extension method for Telerik accepting a first argument of type System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper<dynamic> could be found (Are you missing a using directive or assembly reference?)".
How do you get this set up so that intellisense will work in the editor using razor syntax since it does not work with a Telerik project template or when I set it up with a blank MVC project?
Update: I was able to get this working by following Nathan Smith's post at the end of this thread:
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-mvc/general/cannot-use-telerik-intellisense-in-razor-views-when-these-views-are-in-class-library.aspx
Manually registering the Telerik.Web.Mvc.dll assembly in the GAC using GacUtil.exe seems to have worked for me.
