All Rad controls gone from Toolbox!

[Kipp]

All the rad controls and their groups are gone from my toolbox.

I spent 2+ hours repairing VS2010 and loading updates.  I then ran the telerik toolbox configurer and they were there.  Then, while changing the Text property of a Telerik control, VS crashed.  When I reopened the project the tools were all gone from the toolbox again.

What is going on?!  This is costing me a huge amount of time!

How can I fix this quickly?

Rerunnung the Toolbox Configurator does nothing.

I deleted

"C:\Users\<your username here>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\toolbox.tbd"

After reopening VS, all the rad controls were back in the toolbox.

Hi,

I am sorry for the trouble that you have encountered.

Visual Studio sometimes fails to load third-party components in the Toolbox due to various reasons. One of them is invalid Toolbox cache (stored in .tbd files). Resetting the Toolbox (right-click the Toolbox and click 'Reset Toolbox') or cleaning the Toolbox cache (.tbd files) usually helps with the issue.

I am glad that you managed to resolve the issue on your side. If you encounter any future problems don't hesitate to contact us again.

All the best,
Petar
the Telerik team

Hi,

I cannot find the .tbd files in VS 2013.
I've gone though 'C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0' but no trace of the files.

I've also tried Resetting the Toolbox but to no avail.

Another solution for it please.

They were hidden files.
