Implement an @html.myTelerikGrid extension

I'm trying to do an HTML Extension to render my telerik grid with the common settings

If I declare this code into a view everything its fine.

@imports Telerik.Web.Mvc

@imports Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI
 

@Code

Dim gridBuilder As Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI.Fluent.GridBuilder(Of TModel) =

Html.Telerik().Grid(Of TModel)().Name("myList")

@End Code

But I move it into a class library project to implement an HTML extension

Imports System.Web.Mvc

Imports Telerik.Web.Mvc

Imports Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI


Namespace Helpers

    Module HelperList

        <System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension()> _

        Public Sub myTelerikList(Of TModel As Class)(helper As HtmlHelper)

            Dim gridBuilder As Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI.Fluent.GridBuilder(Of TModel) = Html.Telerik().Grid(Of TModel)().Name("myList")


…

…

        End Sub

I'm having an error like that

'Html' is ambiguous, imported from the namespaces or types 'Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI, System.Web.Mvc'.

Since your HtmlHelper instance is named helper, you need to write helper.Telerik().

Try using the helper instance which you are extending:

<System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension()> _
Public Sub myTelerikList(Of TModel As Class)(helper As HtmlHelper)
    Dim gridBuilder As Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI.Fluent.GridBuilder(Of TModel) = helper.Telerik().Grid(Of TModel)().Name("myList")
    ...
End Sub
