ASP.NET Core 1.0 Support for MVC Helpers
posted

We are currently updating our projects from ASP.NET Core RC1 to 1.0 (RTM). We are using the Ignite UI grid control by using the MVC Html Helper. We used Infragistics.Web.Mvc.dll (dnx451). But this version seems not to be compatible with ASP.NET Core 1.0. There are errors in cshtml file when calling @Html.Infragistics() because it is an extension method for Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.Rendering.IHtmlHelper but should be Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Rendering.IHtmlHelper.

We are using full stack .NET 4.6.

Which assembly do we have to use in asp.net core 1.0?

Second problem is that in ASP.NET Core 1.0 it is not possible any more to add references to assemblies directly. As a workaround we wrapped it into a nuget package.

    Hello zipf,

     Thank you for posting in our forum. 

    The current service release targets the RC version of ASP.NET Core. As such it is not compatible with ASP.NET Core 1.0.

    Support for ASP.NET Core will be added with the next SR, which is currently scheduled for the 23rd of September. You can refer to the service release schedule here:

     Since in ASP.NET Core all libraries can only be referenced as nuget packages, for our MVC6 wrappers we’ll no longer ship a dll instead the library will be packed as a nuget package, which you can install in your project.

     Let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

     Best Regards,

    Maya Kirova
