    I have a page with a SkinMaster control:

    <telerik:RadSkinManager ID="RadSkinManager1" runat="server" ShowChooser="false" Skin="Sunset"</telerik:RadSkinManager>

    The page was working ok in production environment for about a year. Recently, I upgraded to Telerik.Web.UI.dll 2011.2.712.40. After that I started getting exceptions of this type:

    Exception type: ArgumentException

        Exception message: Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: 'Telerik.Web.SkinsAssembly'  Key being added: 'Telerik.Web.SkinsAssembly'

       at System.Collections.Hashtable.Insert(Object key, Object nvalue, Boolean add)

       at System.Collections.Specialized.NameObjectCollectionBase.BaseAdd(String name, Object value)

       at System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer)

       at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)


    The error seems to be random, it appeared twice within 10 days. So far i can't reproduce it. I get notified about the error from my web server alert service and I don't know if users get any visual indications of the error or no. I have no way of asking the users.

    Any clues?

    Hello Eliyahu,

    This exception is not expected - what the stack traces says is that a duplicate entry for "Telerik.Web.Skins" is being added to the AppSettings configuration setting. Could you check if you are not modifying the AppSettings at some place in your code and if the problem persists, send us a small runnable example of you implementation so that we can take a closer look.

    Thanks in advance.

    Was there any resolution to this?  I have this problem as well.  Like the original poster said, it's not really reproducible on-demand.  i get an email of all the exceptions on my website and i see this one come through every so often.

    Hi Mark,

    We have not yet encountered this problem neither could we reproduce it and hence no solution has been looked for. I'd ask you the same question addressed to Mark: could you check if you are not modifying the AppSettings at some place in your code and if not, upgrade to the latest internal build of the controls or the beta of the Q3 2011 one and see if the problem persists.

    Hello Didier,

    This exception could happen also in case you have set the AppSettings["Telerik.Web.SkinsAssembly"] to an empty string. Please, check that. In addition, did you upgrade to the latest version of the controls, is the result the same?

    Hi,

    We get the problem wit both versions 2011.2712.40 and 2011.2.915.40. This morning there was 2 errors caused by MSN bot during the night when it was browsing www.atxoom.com. This website uses  2011.2.915.40. I made a special copy of the web.config here: www.atxoom.com/web.config.txt . There is no reference to Telerik.Web.SkinsAssembly in AppSettings.

    Yesterday, before submitting my comment, I tried to add <add key="Telerik.Web.SkinsAssembly" value="Telerik.Web.SkinsAssembly" /> as suggested in an other article from Telerik community website but it gave troubles as we are using skins (!):

    From now we are running with: <add key="Telerik.Web.SkinsAssembly" value="DISABLED" /> (as suggested in the previously mentioned article). I'll tell you within a few days if this particular web still get problems :-)

    Our Masterpage looks like this:

    I'm seeing this with 2077.2.915.40.

    It's happened only 2 or 3 times on a pretty busy site (10,000-15,000 page requests per day), and I've never seen it on any of the other site that utilize the same code base. 

    I was just looking to see if this was a known problem.  Sorry I don't have any good input other than to report that I've seen this, too.

    Hi all,

    I am glad to inform you that our development team managed to track the issue and a fix for that will be available in the next latest internal build of the controls that is coming out by the middle of next week. Thanks for the cooperation - the telerik points of all the participants in the forum discussion who have reported the issue have been updated accordingly.

    Hi,

    The fix in question is still not available in any of the official versions of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. However you can download the Latest Internal Build from your account and use it while the release of the Q3 2011 SP.
