Make sure you have installed the ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update which, among other things, adds HTML 5 design-time support. Scott Gu also blogged about it:

Updating a website to a new version of Telerik

I am maintaining a website that use this version of Telerik: 2012.3.1018. With this version I have files with telerik prefix like:
-telerik.all.min.js
-telerik.autocomplete.min.js
-telerik.calendar.min.js
...
...
-telerik.window.min.js
The business want to update the site to a new version: telerik.ui.for.aspnetmvc.2014.1.528.commercial
I found the css, but I can't find the js files. Are they discontinued?
I am seeing just kendo.js files and I am missing telerik.js files. Can anyone help me to understand the difference between Telerik's version?
Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC has been discontinued in 2013. The successor product is Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC (ASP.NET MVC wrappers for Kendo UI). Have in mind that those products are not compatible and there are API and behavior changes. There is a migration guide available here: http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/getting-started/using-kendo-with/aspnet-mvc/migration/migrating-from-telerik-extensions-for-aspnet-mvc

Cant find kendo aspnetmvc zip file download

This may be a bit of a silly question, but here goes..
I'm new to kendo UI and asp.net mvc, so i got myself a book to get me started.
However, in the exercise in the book, they use a kendo for asp.net mvc zip file.
I have looked around on the kendoUI website and it also says that you have the option to either download the msi or a zip file, but for the asp.net download, it does not give me an option, just automatically downloads the msi installer.
Anybody know how I can get the kendo UI Complete for asp.net MVC??
Will really appreciate the help.
Thanks
You can check the different packages and download them here: http://www.kendoui.com/download.aspx
They have a 30 day trial for "Kendo UI Complete for ASP.NET MVC"
This is a good introduction to ASP.NET MVC and there is a link to where to find all you need.
Check also their page on ASP.NET MVC here where you can also find a link to the downloads.

Should I use App_Themes or Content/themes in MVC4?

Up until now I had been using MVC3 for my apps but with the new update of Visual Studio 2012 I got MVC4. I migrated a few of my apps and now they are broken.
I noticed that the new project template for an Internet application creates a ~/Content/themes/base folder.
And yet, up until now I had been accustomed to use the App_Themes folder for that. In fact, with VS.2013 you can use "Add ASP.NET FOlder | Themes".
So I am now confused with MVC4, has It deprecated the App_Themes folder (which seems more appropriate to me than ~/Content) ? or is there a significant difference?
App_Theme come from ASP.NET Platform and one goal of mvc is get a clean html code
One of the things that ASP.NET MVC is missing is the ability to
easily implement Themes. The older, more mature standard ASP.NET
framework includes theme support via the App_Themes folder; however
limited it can be, it’s still more than ASP.NET MVC currently has.
Well, at least until I wrote this little custom ViewEngine and
ControllerBase class to help out and allow us to very easily implement
Themes within our ASP.NET MVC applications

ASP.NET MVC3 CSS framework

I'm wondering, which css framework is best suitable for ASP.NET MVC 3?
I've tried yaml and it has several drawbacks in my opinion, at least using with ASP.NET MVC 3:
uses inputs for buttons by default (so, not compatible with jquery ui, because jquery ui uses buttons in dialogs for example).
you need to adjust css for ASP.NET MVC 3 validation.
I don't like how they describe forms (well that is may be only my
subjective opinion regarding this, anyway you need to use custom
editors if you wish stick to yaml css style).
some css class names are not very intuitive.
Nothing, that would be show stoppers, but maybe there's better alternative - something, that is adapted for ASP.NET MVC specifics, or may be ASP.NET MVC project stub, adapted to yaml css framework.
Update: OOCSS looking good, is lightweight and good structured, worth checking out.
Update 2: TwitterBootstrap is getting popular too, you can get it for asp.net mvc here http://nuget.org/packages/Twitter.Bootstrap
I have used both Blueprint (http://www.blueprintcss.org/) and 960Grid (http://960.gs/) quite successfully with MVC.
But more recently I am leaning towards "BlueLess" (https://github.com/michaek/blueless) - a ".LESS" (http://lesscss.org/) version of Blueprint together with the simply excellent "Chirpy" (http://chirpy.codeplex.com/) VS2010 add-in which automagically converts and minimises CSS, Javascript, LESS, CoffeeScript etc. quite transparently. A simply wonderful tool.
Both Blueprint and 960Grid are for layout and typography ... for form design/styling I would look at the standard JQuery UI framework (http://jqueryui.com/) .. or perhaps the Telerik MVC Extensions (http://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-mvc.aspx)
Hope this helps.

Markdown for ASP.NET MVC

I'm looking for a basic markdown component for ASP.NET MVC and Razor. I don't need anything fancy or particularly extensible, it just needs to play nice with MVC and be compatible with the BSD License.
(A NuGet package is a definite plus.)
Have you looked at Markdown Sharp used by stackoverflow?
