Is there another (hopefully easier) way to get the packages needed to start working the ASP.NET Core components? It took a lot of trial and error searching to finally get the Package Source working.

I had to use the Windows Credential Manager to remove all telerik related credentials and start over with the .msi installer... I was able to go back into VS2022 and add a telerik Package Source. When prompted, I added the same credentials I use to access my telerik.com account (from which I downloaded the .msi installer, btw).

Finally, I selected an ASP.NET Core Web app project, then Manage Nuget Packages, and was able to browse/find the Telerik.UI.for.AspNet.Core.2023.2.289 package. Selected that, then clicked install and... it failed with what appears to be related to sub dependencies.

This whole process has been ridiculously complicated. Is there way to get this working just so we can work through an tutorial or two?

Hi Margo,

Thank you for sharing such exhaustive explanations in regard to the embarked approaches and what exactly seems to be faltering on your side.

Normally, such errors will be persistent if the Telerik NuGet feed has not been fully configured. I understand your frustration, thus, please allow me to go over how to set up the feed in a more step-like manner:

1. In Visual Studio go to "Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Settings", select Package Manager Sources, and remove the previous configuration of Telerik Nuget Source

2. Add the Telerik feed, and set the feed URL to "https://nuget.telerik.com/v3/index.json" as well as in the NuGet.config file and click OK:

3. Additionally the majority of NuGet issues are listed within our Troubleshooting documentation that you might find helpful in this regard.

Alternatively, you manually download the required NuGet package via your download distributions page. More in particular:

And reference the package similarly to how is illustrated within our public examples repository:

NuGet.config

Telerik.Examples.Mvc.csproj

Please give the aforementioned suggestions a try and let me know how it works out for you.

Kind Regards,
Alexander
