RadControls for Silverlight
Contents

The following topic will show you how to use the HOTFIX DLLs. The same instructions should be used when installing the Latest Internal Build.

The HOTFIX archive is a bare-bones upgrade option for the Telerik controls - it contains only those files that you need to replace in your project to upgrade to the new version of Telerik RadControls. If you are already using Telerik products and just want to update, then you should download the latest HOTFIX and apply it. The HOTFIX archive contains the following files:

  • Binaries folder - contains the .dll file(s)
  • LicenseAgreements folder
Note

If you are installing the Telerik products for the first time, we recommend you to download the complete package (MSI or ZIP file).

Tip

You can also check here to go directly to the latest internal build download page.

  • Once the download completes, right click on the zip in Windows Explorer and select "Properties" from the menu. If there is an "Unblock" button, press it. Press the OK button. Then unzip the files at a convenient location.
  • If the upgrade is major (i.e. from Q2 2011 to Q3 2011), check the Release History.
  • Back up your application.
  • Close Visual Studio or any other IDE which may lock the old assembly.
  • From the newly downloaded and unzipped files, copy the new DLL (located in the Binaries folder) to your Silverlight application's folder which contains the Telerik assemblies. Replace the old dll files.
  • If you are using VS.NET, update the control's reference in your project to point to the new DLL.
  • Clean the solution.
  • Recompile your project.
  • If you have added the control in GAC, remove it by running a gacUtil to remove the old copy and then add the new one.
  • Run the project.
