Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET are added automatically to the Visual Studio .NET 2005 Toolbox during installation. However if you are using the ZIP distribution, you can do this manually as described below.
To add Telerik RadToolBar to the Toolbox manually and to be able to easily deploy the component in your WebForms in Design mode, follow the steps below:
-
Open your application in Visual Studio 2005.
-
Expand the Toolbox.
-
Expand the General Section.
-
Right-click in the General section and open Choose Items.
-
On the .NET Framework Components tab, click Browse.
-
Browse to the Telerik RadToolBar installation folder, open the NET2 folder and from the bin subfolder, select the RadToolBar.Net2.dll.
-
If the EXE was used to install Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET, the bin folder is located in
C:\Program Files\Telerik\Telerik RadControls for ASP.NETQ2 2008\NET2\bin
-
If the ZIP was used to install Telerik RadToolBar, the bin folder is located in the folder where the installation files have been unzipped (usually "\Inetpub\wwwroot\RadToolBar_1_4\NET2"
-
Click Open to confirm. The Telerik RadToolBar icon should appear in the Toolbox.
- If you intend to use skins different from the default or if you plan to modify the JavaScript files, do not forget to copy the respective RadControls folder to the root of your application. For more information, see The 'RadControls' Folder.
