dotnetnuke - does not contain a definition for 'EJ'

Hello,

I have created a standard module for dotnetnuke and install the syncfusion nuget packages mvc5 version15.2.0.43 in the project.

All compilation works fine, I have solved the pb with node.js and typescript, followed all the procedures from syncfusion and add all the references, assemblies, namespaces etc....

Everything should be fine but as soon as i place :@Html.EJ().DatePicker("MyFirstDatepicker") or@Html.EJ().ScriptManager() I got this error on the page no matter what I do:

'DotNetNuke.Web.Mvc.Helpers.DnnHtmlHelper>' does not contain a definition for 'EJ' and the best extension method overload 'Syncfusion.MVC.EJ.JavaScriptExtension.EJ(System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper)' has some invalid arguments

(see screenshot)




If I comment it :@*@Html.EJ().DatePicker("MyFirstDatepicker")*@ it is fine 
( see picture)



If someone with a working development env of dotnetnuke could drop my module inside it and help me with that it would be awesome. 

It is very easy to setup a dev env of dotnetnuke: https://youtu.be/HybcKCWCj1Q

I have hosted the zip file of the module there: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_Mr91TUZA7mYnlGUXRmR0xnWG8

In case someone is interested by the steps to follow (install node.js, angular, typescript etc....) to get a valid installation of syncfusion mvc nugets packages inside dotnetnuke just ask me, it took me more than one day to figure out everything and I would be happy to help because it was very annoying.

Many Thanks,

Damien Boissat

Add SyncFusion controls to DNN Module requires  a few changes :

1. Change Controller Class to inherit  DnnController   
using DotNetNuke.Web.Mvc.Framework.Controllers;


2. Modify the paths in  _layout.cshtml   and  _ViewStart.cshtml
 Eg.  @Styles.Render("~/DesktopModules/MVC/EssentialJS2MvcApplication1/Content/css")


3. Ensure WebConfig  in the Views folder matches the SyncFusion required  namespaces and  pageBaseType  

Eg.  <pages pageBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage">

Hi shameer

looks not so easy for me...
i went to 
create and build OK a module using template

provided by chris
i verify compil/build  OK

then, using nuget, i add 


but then right after adding i get many compile errors (see below)

Damien noted 
All compilation works fine, I have solved the pb with node.js and typescript, followed all the procedures from syncfusion and add all the references, assemblies, namespaces etc....

where can i find this tuning procedures as i think i still have some work to do before to get to the "expert" solutions  provided by A. Ashton


Regards

Hi Emmanuel,

It is an old post and I don't remember very much about it, but maybe the tuning procedures I was talking about are there :https://help.syncfusion.com/aspnetmvc/configuration-and-deployment

Maybe you can try to download and use my "SampleMVC.zip" from this page, and use winmerge or sth like that to compare with your own.

Regards,
Damien

Hi Shameer 

it did work !
project is compiling now with your trick after adding nugget package

you can note this for further users os vs2019/dnn module template/ syncfusion by nuget package

thank's for all

and thank's damien for trying to help me, i think nuget was not  the prefered way of setting up a syncfusion powered project when you've done it .
