Common Setup

These setup steps are required only once for your application, regardless of which Syncfusion components you use.

1. Install Base NuGet Package

Install-Package Syncfusion.EJ2.MVC5

2. Add Namespace Reference

Edit Web.config under the Views folder and add the Syncfusion.EJ2 namespace:

<namespaces>
    <add namespace="Syncfusion.EJ2"/>
</namespaces>

3. Add Stylesheet & Script References

In your layout file (~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml), add the following in the <head> section.

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>@ViewBag.Title - Syncfusion Application</title>
    
    <!-- Syncfusion ASP.NET MVC controls styles -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/34.2.5/fluent2.css" />
    
    <!-- Syncfusion ASP.NET MVC controls scripts -->
    <script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/34.2.5/dist/ej2.min.js"></script>
</head>

4. Register Script Manager

Also, register the script manager @Html.EJS().ScriptManager() at the end of the <body> element in the ~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml file as follows.

<body>
    @RenderBody()
    
    <!-- Syncfusion ASP.NET MVC Script Manager -->
    @Html.EJS().ScriptManager()
</body>

            {
           col.HeaderText("To Do").KeyField("Open").Add();
           col.HeaderText("In Progress").KeyField("InProgress").Add();
           col.HeaderText("Testing").KeyField("Testing").Add();
