Kendo.Mvc dll latest versions

[Santosh]

Hello we are using a combination of Kendo.mvc dll from 2018 with jQuery 1.1 version. But as per our enterprise standards we updated the  jQuery to latest and trying to update kendo.mvc 201.8.2.516.440 to more latest version as this version of kendo is not supporting latest jquery version. Please guide us how we can get a latest version of this dll.

Hello Santosh,

See the following documentation section for more details on how to upgrade to the latest version (currently 2023.1.425): https://docs.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/installation/upgrading/upgrade#upgrading-to-new-versions

You can either use the Upgrade Project Wizard through the Telerik Visual Studio extension, or upgrade manually.

1. If you decide to upgrade with the Upgrade Project Wizard, make sure to update the extension, before upgrading Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC. You can find the latest version of the extension here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=TelerikInc.ProgressTelerikASPNETMVCVSExtensions

2. Alternatively, if you are upgrading manually you have to replace the old Kendo CSS and js files and Kendo.Mvc.dll that are referenced in the project with the new files. To do that, download the telerik.ui.for.aspnetmvc.2023.1.425.commercial.zip bundle from your account.

The bundle contains the required Kendo CSS, js files and the Kendo.Mvc.dll which can be found within the archive in the following folders:

CSS files - in the styles folder
js files - in the js folder
Kendo.Mvc.dll - in the wrappers\aspnetmvc\Binaries\Mvc5\ folder

If you are using our CDN for the CSS and js files, the references would look like this:

<link href="https://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/themes/6.2.0/default/default-ocean-blue.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<script src="https://cdn.kendostatic.com/2023.1.425/js/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.kendostatic.com/2023.1.425/js/kendo.all.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.kendostatic.com/2023.1.425/js/kendo.aspnetmvc.min.js"></script>

Note that the CSS reference points at a SASS theme file. The LESS themes were dropped in the R1 2023 SP1 release and going forward only the SASS themes can be used to style the components. For more details, see https://docs.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/styles-and-layout/less-themes/less-themes-migration

I upgraded to telerik asp.net mvc 2020 version/jquery 3.6.4/jquery ui 1.13.2 version. Most part of application is working fine but the cascading dropdowns are not working . Any idea what may be wrong??

Santosh,

The Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC versions from 2020 have not been tested with jQuery 3.6.4. This is the latest version of jQuery and it was released in March 2023. We would recommend using a compatible jQuery version. You can find the compatible versions listed per release in this documentation article: https://docs.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/installation/system-requirements/jquery-support#supported-versions

You can also check the browser dev tools for any js exceptions (the Console tab) or failing requests (the Network tab). If there are such, this could explain why the cascading dropdowns do not work as expected.
