Hi,
I wanted to know if anyone out there has advice on deploying a mixed set of code - specifically I want to deploy 2-3 screens in an application using .net AJAX and the rest using the Q3 asp.net DLLs for RadControls.
The reason for this is we want to leverage the calender now, without waiting 3 months to re-write the entire app.
So, is it possible to have both versions out there for one app - is there an issue with RadControls folder? Let me know Thanks.

Hello Karl,
It is absolutely OK to have both classic RadControls for ASP.NET and the new RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX ("Prometheus") running in the same web application.
There are two possible problems, that you might encounter, if you are using a classic and an ASP.NET AJAX control on the same page (for example two RadGrids on one page - one classic and one ASP.NET AJAX)
1) If the two controls have skins with the same name, they could interfere with each other, because the CSS classes are the same, but the styles and the HTML output are a little different.
2) You also have to be careful with namespaces in code-behind, since both Telerik.Web.UI and Telerik.WebControls namespaces contain a lot of methods and classes, which have the same names.
Let us know if you stumble upon anything.
Best wishes,
