GridView appearing in Component Tray

[Nordy]

For some reason, when I drag a GridView instance on to my form, it appears in the Component Tray.  If I try to do anything with it, it never appears when I run the project.  It's as if the visual aspects of the control aren't working on my GridView control.  Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Jamie Nordmeyer,

This happens when the designer for RadGridView cannot be loaded by Visual Studio.

This is the case, for example, when you have in GAC the design time assembly for version 4.0.1.0 and in the design surface of Visual Studio you drag a RadGridView control with a version of 4.0.2.0.

Following are possible reasons for such behavior:

1. The references to the Telerik assemblies in your project are broken. You could try to re-add these references.
2. Your installation of RadControls for WinForms is invalid - there might be multiple versions of the same assembly in the GAC. You could try uninstalling all previous versions of RadControls for Winforms, then making sure the GAC does not have any RadControls for Winforms DLLs left. You should then re-install RadControls for WinForms, and make sure the GAC only contains DLLs bearing the latest version.

Hope that helps. Contact us again if you have any additional questions.

Best wishes,

Hey, thanks for the quick reply!  I figured that out this morning.  The GridView simply hadn't added all the proper references.  When I added them in, it worked fine.

Again, thank!

Hi Jamie,

I have the same problem, I put all References:

Telerik.WinContros

Telerik.WinContros.Docking

Telerik.WinContros.GridView

Telerik.WinContros.UI

TelerikCommon

But the problem has continued. Dou you know why? The RadGrid Control appear only in Component Tray...

Only work if I put this code in .designer: this.Controls.Add(radgrid1);

I'm using VIsual Studio 2010 and 2009. The problem occurs in both. The RadGridView version: 2009.1.9.414

Hi Bruno Costa,

This can happen for one of the following reasons:
- Your project does not have a reference to the Telerik.WinControls.UI.Design assembly;
- The Telerik.WinControls.UI.Design assembly is not installed in the GAC.

The solution is to either install the assembly in the GAC or to add a reference to it and rebuild your project.
