What to use instead of these 2 deprecated controllers in 2025 q1 asp.net mvc by Telerik?

[Anton]

      Error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'FileBrowserController' does not exist in the namespace 'Kendo.Mvc.UI' (are you missing an assembly reference?) (15, 55)
      Error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'EditorImageBrowserController' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) (16, 43)

They were deprecated in 2024 Q1, but I do not see what to use instead of them?

Hello Anton,

Starting with version 2024.1.130, EditorImageBrowserController, FileBrowserController, and EditorFileBrowserController are depricated (no longer available), as stated in the breacking changes section in the documentation:

Breacking changes in Q1 2024

You can implement them by yourself, as demonstrated in the Editor Overview online demo:

https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/editor

Checkout the complete source code in the "View Source" section.

Also, you can run the demos locally through the Sample application that comes with the installation of UI for ASP.NET MVCand inspect closely the Editor's demo implementation.

If you have any questions regarding the matter, please let me know.

Regards,

MIhaela, those all are the files I should implement from scratch, or are any part of the API already?

MIhaela, starting with:

public interface IFileBrowserController
    {
        JsonResult Read(string path);
        ActionResult Destroy(string path, FileViewModel entry);
        ActionResult Create(string path, FileViewModel entry);
        ActionResult Upload(string path, HttpPostedFileBase file);
    }

FileViewModel is nowhere to be found... where is it?

Hi Anton, 

Here is the FileViewModel for your reference:

using Kendo.Mvc.UI;

namespace Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.Editor
{
    public class FileViewModel : FileBrowserEntry
    {
        public string Path { get; set; }
    }
}

Best,
Mihaela
