UI for ASP.NET Core vs UI for ASP.NET MVC

[Brandon]

Getting started documentation for UI for ASP.NET Core shows how to use UI for ASP.NET MVC in ASP.NET Core projects. Does that mean there is no separate download for UI for ASP.NET Core? Does the same UI for ASP.NET MVC shared between ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Core projects?

Any differences between UI for ASP.NET Core and UI for ASP.NET MVC in terms of features and functionality?

Hello,

Log into your Telerik.com account, go to the Downloads section and download the UI for ASP.NET MVC installation. Install it and you'll find the Telerik.UI.for.AspNet.Core.2016.3.914.nupkg package inside C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\UI for ASP.NET MVC R3 2016\wrappers\aspnetmvc\Binaries\Mvc6 folder. This NuGet installation contains the files compiled against ASP.NET Core framework.

If you need assemblies for earlier MVC versions (3.x-5.x) you can find them inside the respective folders inside the C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\UI for ASP.NET MVC R3 2016\wrappers\aspnetmvc\Binaries installation folder.

You can find a list of known issues, unsupported and supported features only in UI for ASP.NET Core at:

• Known Issues with Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core
• Tag Helpers for ASP.NET Core
• Official ASP.NET Core 1.0 Support Now in UI for ASP.NET MVC

I agree that it would be helpful for the following:

"Any differences between UI for ASP.NET Core and UI for ASP.NET MVC in terms of features and functionality?"

When I go to the disucssion topics, I see the "WordsProcessing" as part of the group, but it does not appear to be part of the Core product....so it would be helpful if someone verified this so that it is not confusing...ie. When I saw this, I checked to see if WordsProcessing and it was not.

Hi Les,

The WordsProcessing is indeed offered for ASP.NET AJAX and MVC, but not for ASP.NET Core.

We want to collect more user feedback and requests before porting it for ASP.NET Core.


Kind regards,

Just getting into ASP.Net Core, so pardon me for some trivial question....

In my ASP.Net Core (Web Application MVC) project, can i use control/widget not included in UI for ASP.Net Core but it is found in UI for ASP.Net MVC?
For  example ListView, can i use ListView in my ASP.Net Core project?

[Joel]

I realize that ListView is not a good example....

but i hope you get the message.

Hi Joel,

The Core and MVC suites are based over the Kendo UI jQuery widgets. 

Both suites offer almost the same number of sever components and it is recommended to use the MVC components in ASP.NET MVC projects, and the ones built for ASP.NET Core in the ASP.NET Core projects.

If some MVC component is still not available in the Core suite, you can replace it with the its Kendo UI jQuery widget representative.

Hi Rumen,

Thanks for the feedback.

I followed this link Manual Installation but i couldn't find telerik.ui.for.aspnetmvc.

Then I found this forum Copy the js and styles folders

Can you let me know should i copy the js & styles folder from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC R2 2019Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC R2 2019" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core R2 2019"?

Hi Joel,

Please go to https://www.telerik.com/account/product-download?product=UIASPCORE and download the telerik.ui.for.aspnet.core.2018.2.620.commercial.zip installation.

The js and styles folders are located in the root of the zip file.

We are going to update the article from telerik.ui.for.aspnetmvc to telerik.ui.for.aspnet.core. 

I also updated your Telerik points! Thank you for reporting this misleading information.
