[Solved] Unable to use Telerik in views?

[Julien]

Hi,

I've some trouble using any asp.net MVC 3 components in my views.

When I try, I got this kind of exception :

Compiler Error Message: CS1061: 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper<VVVV.XXX.YYY.WWW.ZZZ.Areas.Advertiser.Models.AdsListModel>' does not contain a definition for 'Telerik' and no extension method 'Telerik' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper<VVVV.XXX.YYY.WWW.ZZZ.Areas.Advertiser.Models.AdsListModel>' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I'm only trying to display this:

@(Html.Telerik().PanelBar()
       .Name("PanelBar")
       .Items(items =>
       {
           items.Add().Text("Item 1");

           items.Add().Text("Item 2")
                .Items(subItems =>
                      {
                          subItems.Add().Text("Sub Item 1");
                          subItems.Add().Text("Sub Item 2");
                          subItems.Add().Text("Sub Item 3");
                      });
       })
       .Render())

In one view of one of my area.

What is going wrong? 

I've also one instruction in the layout(for script/css registration), which doesn't seems to make any trouble.

Is this a problem with area?

I added the namespace declaration in the web.config file of the area,it seems it helped, but I'm still blocked:

With this error this time: 

CS1502: The best overloaded method match for 'System.Web.WebPages.WebPageExecutingBase.Write(System.Web.WebPages.HelperResult)' has some invalid arguments

Hello Julien,

You need to use server blocks (@{}) instead of @() - the latter is used for Response.Write type of actions (like outputting a string from the server for example, where you don't need to run code).
