Courseware for VS2010?

[matt]

Im trying to upgrade the web project and getting object ref not found errors..

Also its trying to create virt directories when I load the vs2008 project..

Will there be a VS2010 version soon  ?

Hi matt,

By default the projects in the courseware are targetting Framework 3.5. When you try to open a solution with Visual Studio 2010 -  all you need is to convert the solution by the Visual Studio Conversion Wizard and the project is ready for use.

There will be new Courseware after  Q3 2010 Release comes out. We are planning to add 3 more chapters describing the new controls created.

Could you please tell me which project you are trying to run and have problems with?

For example. I download the courseware. I load up active skill add finish page. I allow it to create the 2 virt directories. I convert it to 4.0.
I build it. Set directory to NOT read only.  I set Login.aspx as the start page.
I get the error below

I then try to 'upgrade wizard' the web site and I get the 'object not set to reference..' error..


any idea?  If not, Ill just give it another try when Q3 comes out.

Hello matt,

Please accept my apologies for the late reply.

Unfortunately there is a problem with the examples of type "ActiveSkill" when you try to open them with VS 2010. All of the examples are created under VS 2008. We'll do the needful to be opened and ran successfully under VS 2010.

By that time please use Visual Studio 2008 to open the projects from the Courseware.

I gave you points for finding the problem.

I have the same problem and when I try to open the example in AJAX file->CS->MarterPage in VS2008 i have an error that they can find the reference to telerik.dll and when I add any control for my toolboks in VS2008 to the proyect it show me the same erro that it using the dll from 2008.
I am testing this for buy the product but I would like to open the example because I dont going to read 800 page and doing all this example for decide.
Please if you can provide a solution for open these example it going to be very useful. But the way I use VS2010 I have the old one but I work in 2010
Thank you

Hello Denis,

You'll need to remove the references to "Telerik.Web.UI" in the web.config file as they are outdated and cause errors. Also if you find reference to "Telerik.Charting" in some of the example's web.config files - please remove them too:

<add assembly="System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>
                <add assembly="System.Data.DataSetExtensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>
                <add assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
                <add assembly="System.Xml.Linq, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>

                <add assembly="Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2008.2.826.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121FAE78165BA3D4"/>
                <add assembly="System.Design, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B03F5F7F11D50A3A"/>
                <add assembly="System.Windows.Forms, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>

This will be fixed in the next courseware.

Please accept my apologies for the caused inconvenience.

Thank you I am going to test it with that solution.

Veronica (or anyone else),
You had mentioned there would be new courseware after the Q3 2010 release came out.
It is now Q3 2011 and I don't see any changes to the courseware. I'm looking on http://www.telerik.com/support/documentation-and-tutorials/step-by-step-tutorial-for-ajax.aspx.

Am I looking at the wrong spot? The 900 page PDF I see seems to be about 3 years old and still ships with VS 2008 project examples.

I just want to make sure I'm learning the right way.

Thanks.

Hello David,

Since January we had two uploads of the courseware pdf which was updated with information for the controls and features and we will have one more till the end of the week. However we are still working on updating the projects to Visual Studio 2010. We hope to finish with that task with the next official release. For now, you will have to manually upgrade them to the version of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX you are using.


All the best,
