Hello jack jai,

I am afraid that the information provided is not enough to diagnose the problem. Please debug the application and post the stack trace of the exception that is thrown. We will also appreciate it if you send us the exact steps you did before the application crushed.

Also do you have the Telerik assemblies installed in the GAC?  

I am looking forward to your reply.

Hi jack jai,

Thank you for the information, while it was somewhat helpful, it does not indicate the type of the inner exception. A TypeInitializationException is thrown from the constructor of a type whenever something goes wrong during the constructor execution. For example, if a NullReferenceException is thrown from a constructor, it will be wrapped in a TypeInitializationException and then the new one will be rethrown.
We need to know what the inner exception is so that we may get an idea what exactly is failing to execute, since the exception does not occur here.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Hello jack jai,
 
This seems to be a problem local to your machine. The exception says "Method not found". The .Net run-time that you are using is probably out of date. Please update your .Net framework to at least 2.0.

Exception  error message
An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeInitializationException' occurred in VisualStyleBuilder.Design.dll
Additional information: The type initializer for 'Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.QuickNavigator' threw an exception.

Inner exception
{"Method not found: 'System.Drawing.Icon System.Drawing.SystemIcons.get_Shield()'."}

Hi jack jai,
 
The CLR cannot find the Shield property in the SystemIcons class which has been part of the .NET framework since version  2.0 SP1. You will have to install the .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 in order to run Visual Style Builder. We will consider using a different icon in it since the 2.0 SP has not been completely adopted.

Write again if you need further assistance.
 
 
Kind regards,
