Question

I want to use MvcContrib Grid helper, but i stuck on the problem – it’s not working.
I downloaded release for mvc 1, i have dll on my hard drive, i added a reference to my project, but i always getting following error:
Error 1 ‘System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper’ does not contain a definition for ‘Grid’ and no extension method ‘Grid’ accepting a first argument of type ‘System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper’ could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I am using Visual Web Developer 2008 if this is important
The question is: how correctly add this to my project?
Can you give me step by step instruction?
Thanks

I don’t think you have the reference to the MVcContrib dll added. See my sample app here:

Note that a reference has been added in the solution to the dll.
