I am trying to create a Telerik Grid view but when I go to reference kendo it does not recognize it. Visual Studio is giving me an error when I try to reference kendo. This is the code @(Html.Kendo().Grid) and below is the error.
'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper<dynamic>' does not contain a definition for 'Kendo' and no extension method 'Kendo' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper<dynamic>' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I have added a bundle in the BundleConfig file for both Scripts and Content. Also I have added @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/kendo") and @Styles.Render("/Content/kendo") directly to the razor view.
Many articles that i've read suggest that adding <add namespace="Kendo.Mvc.UI"/> to the Web.Config file would work but it still is throwing out the same error.
Is there something that I am missing?
The problem is that you have not included a reference to the Kendo.Mvc.dll. There's an explanation on how to do this in the documentation located here
By default the the root kendo directory is installed at C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik
