Caution

Prerequisite

In order to have RadControls running in a web project, targeting ASP.NET 2.0, you will need to have ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 installed on your development/production machine. The RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX MSI installer starts the ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 installation automatically if it cannot detect it.

See also General ASP.NET AJAX Information.

The MSI files are intended for easy and automatic installation of a product. The MSI installs the suite on your computer to a folder named Telerik in your Program Files, automatically creating the necessary virtual folders and projects. Additionally, it installs the help file(s) in the VS.NET IDE and in your local copy of MSDN, if you have one installed.

Note

The latest package available for download already has all updates/HOTFIXES applied. There is no need to update it further.

Note

The MSI installation will not overwrite previous Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX installations, unless it is of the same version.

To install Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET on your machine from the Windows Installer MSI file, follow the instructions below:

  1. Log into your Telerik account and click on Manage products from the top menu.

  2. In the dropdown that appears choose from your purchased products or trial downloads the Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX, and click on it. If you have purchased a collection you would need to click on it and the trial downloads page will show all trial downlads directly.

  3. Click on Download Installer and other resources (the Download link next to the suite if you are a trial user). You need to choose the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX suite if you have purchased the collection and click its Browse all product files button.

  4. Download the Automatic installation (MSI) file.

  5. Once the download completes, run the MSI file and follow the instructions.

    The wizard will install the Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX component in the following folder unless you specify otherwise:C:\Program Files\Telerik\.

To view running examples of the Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX functionality, you can launch the Live Demos in either of the following ways:

  • Load the Live Examples solution to your Visual Studio and start the project (F5). The fastest way to load the solution is using the Start Menu: Telerik -> RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX QX YYYY -> Open Sample Web Site in Visual Studio. VisualStudio will start the Live Demos locally using the integrated ASP.NET Development Server.

Note

The Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET package adds the products automatically to the Visual Studio toolbox.
