Create a class for the view of the multi-view widget designer

    For example, name it MultiViewWidgetDesignerView.cs
  2. Add a reference to Telerik.Sitefinity assembly.

    2. Click Browse tab and navigate to folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\Sitefinity CMS\Libraries.
    3. Select the assembly and click OK.
  3. Add a reference to the System.Web.Extensions assembly.
    Perform the following
    1. In the context menu of References, click Add Reference...
    2. Click the .NET tab, select the assembly, and click OK.
