Telerik MVC Extensions Intellisence

Hi guys,

I want to use Telerik MVC Extensions in my plugin. So I add reference to Telerik.Web.Mvc.dll.
Modify web.config (in my plugin folder) to:

      <namespaces>
        ...
        <add namespace="Telerik.Web.Mvc" />
        <add namespace="Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI" />
      </namespaces>
      <assemblies>
        ...
        <add assembly="Telerik.Web.Mvc"/>
      </assemblies>

When I test the plugin, it works very well. However, I didn't get any intellisence for the Telerik extensions in my cshtml views. Visual studio says: Could not load file or assembly "Telerik.Web.Mvc" or one of its dependencies. Could not find the specified file.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I am not sure about the solution of this problem. But I made it work once by creating a plugin as a web application project instead of using a simple class library.

I don't know why all the existing plugins are class libraries. You will need to create a new Web Application project and copy all the files from your plugin to it. Only then, the intellisence will work.

I had the same issue and found that adding the Telerik.Web.Mvc.dll to the plugin's bin folder (in the project itself, not the Nop.Web.Plugin) gave me intellisense.

My plugin is a C# library and altering the web.config did not give me any joy.

I've add the namespace and the assembly but still have error:

The problem is solved now. The reason is because the reference in the plugin and the core is different. They should point to the same dll file.
