Date displaying as empty box

[Bob Needham]

Hi

ive been trying for the last few hours to get the asp.net web forms controls installed in my web app without success, but all i see for a datepicker is an empty textbox, but the calendar icon shows up when i look at in design view.

im pretty sure ive followed the instructions in 'getting started' to the letter but must have missed something and some of the documentation there dosnt seem to match up with what gets installed in the programfiles x86 folder when you download the controls

for example it says you need to copy these 2 files to the scripts folder but i cant find them under the ...{ver}/javascript folder or subfolders, so are then now needed? although they can be found under the samples folder

·  query.easing.1.3.min.js

·  jquery.globalize.min.js

jquery-1.10.2.min.js seems to be missing but is mentioned in the link below

 i found an old link from 2016 that seems to be what im experiencing & it said the solution was to check the references, but it didnt work

heres the relevent extract from my site.master

      <link rel='nofollow' href="~/Content/ej/web/default-theme/ej.web.all.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

      <script src='<%= Page.ResolveClientUrl("~/Scripts/jquery-3.3.1.min.js")%>' type="text/javascript"></script>
      <script src='<%= Page.ResolveClientUrl("~/Scripts/jsrender.min.js")%>' type="text/javascript"></script>
      <script src='<%= Page.ResolveClientUrl("~/Scripts/ej/ej.web.all.min.js")%>' type="text/javascript"></script>
      <script src='<%= Page.ResolveClientUrl("~/Scripts/ej/ej.webform.min.js")%>' type="text/javascript"></script>

      <style type="text/css">
      </style>
   </head>

ive attached a graphic showing some of the important files i added to my project

i also cant get the sample project shipped with the download working, it just bombs with the below, it purports that the info can be identified in the stack trace, and perhaps its my lack of knowledge but i have no idea where to start looking, its as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike to me

Hi

After a day looking, i found an answer to make the controls start working, but i dont yet know why

or what implications it has for the rest of my ASP.NET Web Forms site, so i'll have to do some

more research but my heads spinning atm. maybe this is worth a mention in the syncfusion asp.net

getting started section

i simply removed the following line from my web.config and it now all works

<add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true" />

hope it helps someone

Bob
