KendoUI DropDownListFor event binding - Error: "Does not contain definition for Events"

Question

I am currently working with KendoUI using ASP.Net MVC Razor syntax.

I have drop downlists and editor widgets that are working well.

Problem came up when I needed to bind an event to a JS function.

I followed the docs found here: http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/web/dropdownlist/events.html

In my partial view:

 @(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(model => model.ClientType)
                              .DataSource(ds => ds.Read(read => read.Action("FetchAllClientTypes", "ClientType")))
                              .DataTextField("Description")
                              .DataValueField("Id")
                              .AutoBind(true)
                              .ToClientTemplate()
                              .Events(e => e.Change("Test"))
                      )
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.ClientType)

But,on building, I get the error:

Error 67 'System.Web.Mvc.MvcHtmlString' does not contain a definition for 'Events' and no extension method 'Events' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.Mvc.MvcHtmlString' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) C:\WorkingForlder_Details.cshtml 193 32 NameSpace.ToApplication

NB: The data binding and everything else works. It is the Event Binding that's failing

Any idea why its failing to build?

remove .ToClientTemplate() and put at the end after .Events and try — Rudresha Parameshappa
