<h1>
    Referencing MVC Controls in your Application
</h1>
<p>
    To use C1 MVC controls in your MVC application, follow these steps:
</p>
<ol>
    <li>
        <b>Install ASP.NET MVC Edition</b><br />
        Download the installer(<a href="https://www.componentone.com/Downloads/">C1StudioInstaller.exe</a>) in your machine. 
        Follow the steps through the installation wizard to install the
        .NET DLLs and packages for ASP.NET MVC Edition. The installer 
        also installs C1 ASP.NET MVC Web Application templates which 
        can be used in place of the MVC templates provided by Visual 
        Studio, to make working with ComponentOne controls easier.
    </li>
    <li>
        <b>License the product</b><br />
        When you download and install ComponentOne products, you are
        presented with a chance to activate the license. If you want 
        to evaluate our tools before purchase, you can skip the license 
        activation process. In that case, you will get a 30-day 
        evaluation period. During this period, you will be able to use 
        all the features of ComponentOne products. After 30-day evaluation
        period is over, you will not be able to build applications that 
        include unlicensed ComponentOne controls. You can purchase and 
        activate a license at that point or you can request an evaluation 
        key that will grant you another 30-day evaluation period. Once 
        you have the evaluation key, you can activate it through the 
        ComponentOne License Activation utility found in 
        C:\Program Files (x86)\ComponentOne\C1StartMenu.
    </li>
    <li>
        <b>Configure your application</b><br />
        You can create your application using ComponentOne template or 
        Visual Studio template in Visual Studio. On using ComponentOne
         template, references of the assemblies or the packages are added
         automatically to your application. While, for an application 
        created using Visual Studio template, these have to be added manually.
    </li>
    <li>
        <b>Register the resources in view</b><br />
        For applications created using ComponentOne template, all the 
        resources required to use the available controls also get 
        registered automatically. However, you need to manually register 
        the resources in case of applications created using standard 
        Visual Studio template.
    </li>
</ol>
<p>
    Now, you can use MVC controls in your application. You can add 
    an MVC control in the view or create a client MVC control by using 
    javascript code. For more information, please refer the
