Hi Domenick,

Could you please check the server's GAC and make sure that the following assemblies are present:

• System.Web.Extensions 
• Telerik.Web.UI
• Telerik.Charting
• RadEditorSharepoint

In addition please make sure that you have integrated ASP.NET AJAX with Sharepoint.

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,

I am having the exact same problem as well. 

I think the problem is that I have .NET 3.5 installed on my SharePoint server, which means that the System.Web.Extensions assembly is version 3.5.0.0 instead of 1.0.61025.0. 

This is weird though because the rad ajax controls worked fine when I installed them into the GAC.  Any idea on how to make the radEditor work on a SharePoint server with .NET 3.5 installed?

The following assemblies are all in the GAC on my machine:

• System.Web.Extensions  (3.5.0.0, NOT 1.0.61025.0)
• Telerik.Web.UI
• Telerik.Charting
• RadEditorSharepoint

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim,

The RadEditor for MOSS is built using the Microsoft ASP.NET Ajax Extensions 1.0 (version 1.0.61025.0). Since you are using different versions (3.5.0.0 for System.Web.Extensions and 2008.x.xxx.35 for Telerik.Web.UI) you will need to add <bindingRedirect> elements for those two assemblies in the web.config file.

<dependentAssembly>
     <assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Extensions" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" culture="neutral" />
     <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.61025.0" newVersion="3.5.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
<dependentAssembly>
     <assemblyIdentity name="Telerik.Web.UI" publicKeyToken="121fae78165ba3d4" culture="neutral" />
     <bindingRedirect oldVersion="2008.x.xxx.20" newVersion="2008.x.xxx.35" />
</dependentAssembly>

This should allow SharePoint to get the proper references and display the editor. I hope this helps.

George,

Thanks!  I had just tried that previously to your response and got it to work. 

Thanks again,
