Adding a new RadGridView

[Curtis]

I'm having problems when I try to create a new RadGridView.  From the toolbox, I select RadGridView and then draw a box on the form.  When I do this it adds a reference to the control at the buttom, however it's not actually putting the control on the screen.  I checked to make sure that it was visible and the back color was different.  This problem has only started happening to me today, before today I could successfully add a RadGridView to my forms.

Hello,

I haven't come across this issue before. Please can you try it in a new project and let me know if it does the same there. If it doesn't, then I would suggest re-starting Visual Studio.
Let me know how you get on though

I opened a new project and the problem does not occur there. If I just create a new form in the current project it contiues to happen.  Also since my last post, when I open my project now I get the followings errors:

To prevent possible data loss before loading the designer, the following errors must be resolved:

(2) Could not load file or assembly 'TelerikCommon, Version=2010.3.10.1109, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5bb2a467cbec794e' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Here is part of the code that corresponds to the second error...

Private Sub InitializeComponent()

       Me.components = New System.ComponentModel.Container

       Me.OrderAdjustmentResultsGroupControl.Appearance.Options.UseBorderColor = True

       Me.OrderAdjustmentResultsGroupControl.Appearance.Options.UseForeColor = True

       Me.OrderAdjustmentResultsGroupControl.AppearanceCaption.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White

       Me.OrderAdjustmentResultsGroupControl.AppearanceCaption.Options.UseBackColor = True

       Me.OrderAdjustmentResultsGroupControl.Controls.Add(Me.OrdAdjustmentRadGridView)

       Me.OrderAdjustmentResultsGroupControl.Controls.Add(Me.DetailsButton)

       Me.OrderAdjustmentResultsGroupControl.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(13, 12)

       Me.OrderAdjustmentResultsGroupControl.Name = "OrderAdjustmentResultsGroupControl"

       Me.OrderAdjustmentResultsGroupControl.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(1039, 467)

       Me.OrderAdjustmentResultsGroupControl.TabIndex = 7

       Me.OrderAdjustmentResultsGroupControl.Text = "Results"



If I exclude the form that contains the gridview from my project all the errors go away.  

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

What version of the controls are you actually using? I suspect what has happened is that you have upgraded to a newer version, but your project is still using the old version of the assemblies which is why you are getting this error. I'd suggest removing and re-adding the references to the Telerik assemblies or running it through the Telerik Project Upgrade Utility

Hope that helps but let me know if you have further issues
