#Kendo UI for ASP.NET MVC

Telerik seems to have a really nice set of jquery-based UI components:

However, their “Kendo UI for ASP.NET MVC” requires a bit of polishing in terms of installation instructions  since right now they are somewhat messy. Here is what seems to be missing/incorrect:

  1. “Running sample application” section refers to non-existing “Examples” folder
  2. There is no “kendo.common.css” and “kendo.default.css”. Instead, there are “…min.css” versions of those files(so, I had to update css links)
  3. Eventually, I had to link “kendo.all.min.js” from the layout page to get rid of javascript errors related to particular Kendo widgets
  4. For that matter, I also had to deploy 1.7 version of JQuery(I used 1.7.1, but, I guess, 1.7.2 should be fine, too). Not sure on this one – I may have an outdated MVC Visual Studio template(that might be the reason why I only had 1.5 version of JQuery out of the box).. Anyway, this is just for the record.

Hopefully, that more or less summarizes the problems.. I’m really looking forward to playing a bit more with Kendo in the nearest days since their demos leave very good impression.
