How to migrate from the ASP.NET MVC (Classic) to the ASP.NET MVC?
There is no direct way for the Essential Studio 12.3 version to migrate from the ASP.NET (Classic) platform to ASP.NET MVC currently, as the controls do not share the same API. So, you have to manually map the equivalent function and properties in the new controls.
In the new ASP.NET, there is no separate DLL for every control, such as, Syncfusion.Schedule.Mvc.dll and Syncfusion.Tools.Web.dll, rather you can use Syncfusion.EJ.MVC.dll and Syncfusion.EJ.dll that are common for all the controls.
Step 1: Remove the Syncfusion.Schedule.Mvc.dll, Syncfusion.Shared.Mvc.dll, and other DLLs used by the ASP.NET MVC (classic).
Step 2: Remove the namespaces from the web.config also.
Step 3: Refer to the Syncfusion.EJ.MVC.dll and Syncfusion.EJ.dll in the project.
The following table lists the required Namespaces, DLLs, script, and CSS files to work with the ASP.Net MVC control.
DLLs required | Syncfusion.EJ.dll Syncfusion.EJ.MVC.dll Syncfusion.Core.dll (not required when you are using the version after 13.2) |
Namespaces | Syncfusion.MVC.EJ Syncfusion.JavaScript |
Script files | Syncfusion script files: ej.web.all.min.js External Script files: jquery.min.js jquery.easing.min.js jquery.globalize.min.js jsrender.min.js |
CSS files | ej.web.all.min.css |
Note: When the UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled is set to true in the web.config, include the ej.unobtrusive.min.js file in the _Layout.cshtml page.
Web.config
<appSettings> <add key="webpages:Version" value="2.0.0.0" /> <add key="webpages:Enabled" value="false" /> <add key="PreserveLoginUrl" value="true" /> <add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true" /> <!--Sets the UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnable property to false in the web.config page-->. <add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="false" /> </appSettings> |
Add the script manager render code to the end of the body tag in the layout.cshtml page as it is mandatory to render the EJMVC Schedule control. This is demonstrated in the following code example.
Layout.cshtml
<body>
----------------
----------------
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/bootstrap")
@RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
@Html.EJ().ScriptManager()
</body>
You can find the scripts and CSS files in the following locations.
CSS Location: <Installed location>\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\XX.X.X.XX\JavaScript\assets\css\web
(For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\XX.X.X.XX\JavaScript\assets\css\web)
Script Location: <Installed location>\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\XX.X.X.XX\JavaScript\assets\scripts\web
(For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\XX.X.X.XX\JavaScript\assets\scripts\web)
DLL Location: <Installed location>\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\XX.X.X.XX\Assemblies
(For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\XX.X.X.XX\Assemblies)
Note: The XX.X.X.XX denotes the version of the assemblies.

For your convenience, a getting started video of the ASP.NET MVC Schedule control is created and the same can be downloaded from Video Link: aspmvc.zip
In the v11.4.0.26, the project template is created, by default; but, for the v12.3.0.36, you need to install the MVC extension separately to make use of the project template in the Visual Studio.
