Hi,

               Now  I am using sharepoint 2010 for my project. I want to configure a web application for using telerik controls. What are the steps i have to follow to configure the web application.

Thanks.

Hi Velkumar,

Please, see the following article on the subject: Installing RadEditor & RadGrid Web Parts on SharePoint 2010. This installation will automatically add Telerik.Web.UI.dll to the GAC and the web.config file entries which are needed to use RadControls in SharePoint 2010.

The RadControlsSP.wsp does not put the fully qualified name of the class in the handler section, why?
Without the fully qualified name, the Telerik controls break (DLLs are in the GAC). And manually editing the web.config files is not a solution, since any future web config entry modifications will result in duplicate Telerik tags getting created.
How do you get past this problem?

  <add name="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd_*" path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" verb="*" type="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource, Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2011.3.1305.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" preCondition="integratedMode" />
  <add name="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd_*" path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" verb="*" type="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource, Telerik.Web.UI" preCondition="integratedMode" />
</handlers>

Hi,

This is by design and you should not modify the Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd handler and manually write its fully qualified name in the web.config file. The handler will work even without a fully qualified name, because it will be loaded by any existing Telerik control on the page.

Kind regards,
