Does MVCContrib currently support MVC4? I am having a first look at switching a project from MVC2 to MVC4 and having some issues with Portable Areas.

Have you seen [this article](http://ivanz.com/2012/08/20/guide-for-migrating-an-asp-net-mvc-solution-to-net-4-5-and-asp-net-mvc-4/)? We're just getting into MvcContrib for the grid and other controls on our greenfield MVC4/.NET4.5 application, so we'll see how it goes. – James Fernandes Sep 07 '12 at 18:14

In case anyone else comes across this post, you could try these:

http://nuget.org/packages/StudioDonder.MvcContrib.Mvc4/ http://nuget.org/packages/StudioDonder.MvcContrib.Mvc4.TestHelper/ etc.

with the source here: http://mvccontrib.codeplex.com/SourceControl/network/forks/ErikSchierboom/mvccontribmvc4

For each, they say: Note: this is a fork of the MvcContrib project that is suited for working with ASP.NET MVC 4.

I can say from experience that it "sort of" works.

I'm working on a project where we were using the Mvc.Contrib.TestHelpers assembly, and in that case, I had to download the source code from Codeplex, update the MVC references from version 3 to version 4 and rebuild the project, then reference my rebuilt version of MvcContrib.

I hope that helps :)
