Problems Migrating DayPilot Lite for ASP.NET MVC 1.3 SP1 (build 1.3.395)

Asked by Bobby

Here are the steps I followed, although I was making it up as I went along:

1) Deleted the Reference DayPilot.Web.Mvc
2) Copied the new .dll from the Demo/Bin directory of the download to the bin directory of my project. I chose this file as oppose to the one from the Binary directory because it was larger and newer.
3) Registered the new .dll
4) Copied the daypilot-all.min.js file from the Demo/Scripts/DayPilot directory to the Scripts/DayPilot directory of my project. I did not delete the original files (common.js and month.js) from my project, although it appears that these files are no longer valid.
5) Modified the BundleConfig.cs file in the App_Start directory of my project to remove the references to common.js and month.js, and added the reference to daypilot-all.min.js. The new instruction is as follows:

bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/app").Include(
"~/Scripts/bootstrap.js",
"~/Scripts/DayPilot/daypilot-all.min.js"));

6) Did not remove the .css file (Content/DayPilot/themes.css). I do see where there is a layout.css file in the Demo project, but I did not do anything.
7) Modified the web.config to add the DayPilot namespace:

Previous installation instructions indicated to add this namespace in the Views/Web.Config. I did not remove that one, so now it exists in both Web.Config files.

When I test my project, I get the:

Line: 76
Error: 'DayPilot' is undefined

Thanks in advance for your help... Bobby

This error suggests that the daypilot-all.min.js file was not included properly. This file defines the DayPilot namespace - it includes all the .js files merged (common.js, calendar.js, month.js, modal.js).

I recommend using browser developer tools (or Firebug) to check if the file was included properly (i.e. no 404 error) and if you can access DayPilot object (in the console).

Dan,

I am going to download firebug and follow your suggestions... Even an old dog can learn new tricks, right?

But I am confused... if I'm loading daypilot-all.min.js the same way I was loading month.js, what would change? Also, wouldn't VS2012 report an error if the code was missing a reference? Everything (well, almost) has worked great until this upgrade.

I'm really excited to leverage the updates introduced in this new release, so I really don't want to go backwards. And, I will try the toolset recommended here, but something sounds fishy like I missed a step.

After working with the code... debugging and such... it's come to my attention that renaming .min.js to .js works with the "bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle(".

Again, I am new with MVC, so I'm learning. If there is a better answer, I'm sure I could learn from that too.
