Great news for ASP.NET MVC developers: DevExpress MVC Extensions support ASP.NET MVC 5!
The Microsoft ASP.NET team recently released the ASP.NET MVC 5 version of the framework. And the over 50 DevExpress MVC extensions are fully supported in ASP.NET MVC 5!
Versions: 12.2.14, 13.1.9, and 13.2
ASP.NET MVC 5 support is included with DevExpress versions 12.2.14, 13.1.9, and 13.2. However, the DevExpress MVC Wizard supports MVC 5 only in 13.1.9 and 13.2 versions of our library.
New MVC 5 Assembly
There's a new DevExpress.Web.Mvc5.v13.2 assembly. When using DevExpress MVC extensions with ASP.NET MVC 5, this new assembly is required. If you use the DevExpress wizard to generate a new MVC 5 project, it will automatically include this new reference.
Why the new MVC 5 assembly?
This is different than previous versions because ASP.NET MVC 5 introduced a breaking change: Currently, MVC 5 requires full trust. The official MVC 5 site specifies the required rule: “Remove any trust levels other than Full”.
