ASP.NET MVC Telerik Extensions

After installing the ASP.NET MVC Telerik Extensions, we couldn’t get the custom htmlhelpers working when using the Razor syntax.

Finally we discovered that the namespace was added to the root web.config

<add namespace="Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI" />

were it should have been added in the ~/Views/Web.Config:

<system.web.webPages.razor>
<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />    
<pages pageBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage">      
<namespaces>        
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />        
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />        
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />        
<add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />        
<add namespace="Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI" />      
</namespaces>    
</pages>  
</system.web.webPages.razor>

Now our program already compiles and runs. However we still had a problem with Intellisense in Visual Studio. For a reason we didn’t understand we still had to add a @using Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI in every view.

Anyone who can confirm that this is a bug in the Razor Intellisense?

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
