"$(Html.Infragistics ...)" is not detected in .NET MVC view

Klaus Eder posted over 7 years ago

Hello,

I already own an Infragistics License. A colleague and I tried to use IgniteUI inside of our ASP.NET MVC project (.NET Framework 4.6.2, Visual Studio Professional Enterprise 2017, Ignite UI 17.1) and followed your tutorial on https://www.igniteui.com/help/iggrid-developing-asp-net-mvc-applications-with-iggrid

Following the tutorial, we cannot use "$(Html.Infragistics ...)" inside of our view, because Visual Studio does not recognize the ".Infragistics" part. We get an "Compiler Error Message: CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Infragistics' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?"

Our problem sounds similiar to https://ko.infragistics.com/community/forums/t/65389.aspx

But unfortunately this does not help in our case and the IgniteUI version is much older - 3.x there.

Is the tutorial up-to-date and still working? How can we solve that "$(Html.Infragistics ...)" is not detected?
Thank you for any help!

Best regards,
Klaus

Hello Klaus,

Thank you for contacting Infragistics Developer Support.

Yes, the tutorial page is up-to-date. Have you referenced the Infragsitcs dll correctly?

Have you tried to copy the dll file into the bin folder or your project?

I'm waiting for your reply.

Hi Radoslav,

I tried to reverence with the NuGet packages management.

I installed Infragistics.Web.Mvc. When installed, dll files are copied into bin folder and the system binds scripts to the project.

I also installed Infragistics.Core, IgniteUI.MVD and jQuery with Nuget packaging management.

Now, that´s what I did for now. Maybe you can see, where the problem is.

Kindly regards

Klaus

Hello Klaus,

Infragistics.Web.Mvc is the package that contains the Ignite UI dll files for .Net Core.

AFAIK you target .Net 4.6.2 so you need the IgniteUI.MVC package.

Can you clean you references and start at a clean state by running:

nuget install IgniteUI.MVC -Version 17.1.20171.1012 -Source https://packages.infragistics.com/nuget/licensed/

The package will install all its dependencies and your sample should work out.

I'm waiting for your reply.
