  5. ASP.NET Core MVC only. Follow the instructions from the DevExtremeConversion_Readme.html file.

Now DevExtreme ASP.NET MVC Controls are set up for your project. If any issues appear during the process, address them by following the messages in the Output window. After that, repeat the steps above starting with step 2.

NOTE
ASP.NET MVC 5 only. Certain resources are added, but not linked, because either they are already linked in the basic project template, or they provide specific functionality. Those resources are jQuery, JSZip for client-side exporting in the DataGrid control and data for the VectorMap control. To link any of those resources, uncomment the corresponding code lines in the AppStart/DevExtremeBundleConfig.cs file.
