Question

Any DevExpress control I use, just renders a list. I’ve tried all 3 possible syntaxes (listed on the site below) and every time, the control I want to use (TreeView, NavBar, etc.) just renders as a bulleted list. Any ideas why? I’ve checked Google and the DevExpress support center, but I can’t find any issues like this.

DevExpress with razor guide: http://documentation.devexpress.com/#AspNet/CustomDocument9944

I just put this code on my index page to test that DevExpress is working:

@{Html.DevExpress().NavBar(settings =>  {
  settings.Name = "myNavBar";
  settings.Groups.Add("Group1").Items.Add("Item1-1");
  settings.Groups.Add("Group2").Items.Add("Item2-1");
  settings.Groups.FindByText("Group2").Expanded = false;

}).Render();}

When it reaches the page, it just shows a bulleted list:

• Group1
  • Item1-1
• Group2

Any ideas what’s causing this?

Answer 1

The project I was working on was being rendered inside another project. I just needed to get rid of my project’s layout and add using statements to the cshtml pages:

@using DevExpress.Web.Mvc.UI;
@using DevExpress.Web.Mvc;

The only problem I still have, is the scriptlet code gets highlighted red (but it builds/works fine and has intellisense).
