How to setup existing asp.net mvc web application for use with DocumentEditor

[Manfred Mühlbacher]

Hello,

I created a new asp.net mvc application using the Syncfusion Essential Studio Sample Creator and chosing the DocumentEditor control with default settings.

I tested the solution, made some adaptions and things worked properly. 

Now I wanted to use these features in my existing asp.net mvc web application and followed  the instructions at this link to pull in the references and dependencies.

I copied controller actions and views from the Sample Creator solution to my solution and the solution compiled properly.

My special interest is the view 'DocumentEditorFeartures.cshtml' (see attached files) that was created by the Sample Creator where I am facing problems:

1. When the view is opened the DocumentEditor layout is displayed properly, but a bunch of errors can be seen in the console of the dev tools
   
   Most errors seem to result from  ej2.d.ts or ef2.min.js not recognizing certain objects.
   
   
2. Trying to load a word-file into the editor via the toolbar button causes  an error that seems to be related to the code line:
   
   @Html.EJS().DocumentEditorContainer("container").ServiceUrl("/api/DocumentEditorService/").EnableToolbar(true).Render()
   
   where the api/DocumentEditorService/Import action is supposed to be called but an error is caused  because it is not found (as inferred from the console error).

Please help.

Kind regards, Manu

Hello,

thank you for the help. In the meantime I could resolve the first issue.

But the second one I could not solve yet. I described the problem more exactly in a post with a support ticket.

I will try to solve the problem by using  your information and analyzing your sample solution. If I am not able to advance I will contact you again.

Regards, Manu
