Kendo-ui-core: Kendo.Mvc v.2016.2.607 has a dependency on pre-release RC2 assemblies

[amirjalali1]

Kendo mvc version 2016.2.607 released for the rc2 of asp.net core is still dependent on following namesapces
Microsoft.Extensions.CompilationAbstractions
Microsoft.Dnx.Compilation.CSharp.Abstractions

which are not supported on rc2 anymore.

Correct. Have same problem.

[Asshiah]

Same here.

[madrianr]

Same

[alaatm]

Also please change framework to netstandard1.x instead of netcoreapp1.0.

Given the above then surely the latest version of telerik kendo ui rc2 should be pulled , until resolved.

No point rushing out the product if its not 100% ready -- happy to wait Telerik...

Hi guys,

We are aware of the reported namespace problem, which is logged with very high priority. We are working currently on it and once it's fixed, we will launch a new build.

[amirjalali1]

@Jekata do u have any release date?

[Jekata]

@1amirjalai and everyone who wants to help: Would it be possible to provide a sample working project, which demonstrates the issue with the Microsoft.Extensions.CompilationAbstractions and Microsoft.Dnx.Compilation.CSharp.Abstractions namesapces?

We need such a project to test the hotfix before providing it publicly.

Thank you in advance!

@1amirjalai - Once the hotifix passes validation we will launch it asap.

Here is a sample solution demonstrating the problem:

We've pushed a fix for this error and a 2016.2.616 version will be available soon on nuget.org

Two important notes:

• Use the 2016.2.607 version of the scripts on the CDN
• Add the following code to the Configure method in Startup.cs:

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory)
{
    // ...

    // Configure Kendo UI
    app.UseKendo(env);
}

Apologies for the caused inconvenience!

[tsvetomir]

It should be live now. Let us know if you still have issues.

@tsvetomir Why is the framework set to netcoreapp1.0 ? Shouldn't it be netstandard1.x ? I can't use this package from within libraries..

[tsvetomir]

There's no particular reason to use netcoreapp other than our confusion around the .NET Platform Standard and .NET Core Applications monikers.

In any case, we intend to switch to netstandard1.5 for the next release, as this is what Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Core targets.

Tracking this issue in #1810. We'll be publishing updated releases regularly.
