Hi,

RequiredClientResources is an extendion method in EPiServer.Framework.Web.Mvc.Html. Are you referencing that namespace at the top of your layout file like this:

@using EPiServer.Framework.Web.Mvc.Html

Thanks for the help! That did in fact solve my issue. I'm new to EPiServer (and .NET in general) so this might be a novice question, but how would I know this?

Hi Jeff,

At the risk of sounding unhelpful, my answer was an educated guess based on instinct and experience. Generally if you're getting an error along the lines of "myClass doesn't contain a definition for myMethod" then it's one of 4 things:

1. You're missing a reference to a namespace containing the missing extension method
2. You've got the name of the property/method you're trying to access wrong
3. You're referencing the wrong namespace for myClass
4. myClass genuinely doesn't contain a definition for myMethod

In your case, we know RequiredClientResources should exist which makes 2 and 4 less likely and, as myClass is HtmlHelper which is pretty fundamental to rendering anything in the view, we can assume that we've got the namespace correct so we can rule out 3, making 1 our most likely cause for that error.

If you use something like resharper it can help to resolve issues like that by suggesting the namespace references which might be missing.

Beyond that, I'd suggest keeping a copy of the Alloy demo site to hand as it acts as a handy reference, even for those of us who've been writing Episerver sites for over a decade.

Hope that helps.
