ASP.NET AJAX

[Thomas]

Dear all,

I have used a trial version of ASP.NET AJAX and are trying to activate the product but do not know how. All I have received is a "unique customer ID" would anyone know how to move forward?

Best Regards,

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for contacting us.

In order for you to access the software downloads, please follow these steps: Developer Productivity >> Your Account >> Downloads.

Also, here's a link where you can find Instructions on how to upgrade an ASP.NET AJAX trial to a purchased ASP.NET AJAX license: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/installupgrading.html.

I hope this helps. If you need any additional assistance, please let me know.

Hi Donna,

Thanks for your quick reply. What confuses me a bit is that I haven´t received any key to "unlock" our trial product. Should I not have that?

Hi Thomas,

The developer version of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX does not use a license key. All you need to do is to upgrade the trial Telerik.Web.UI.dll with the developer one as it is explained in the http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/installupgrading.html article.


All the best,

Hi Ruman,

And thanks for your reply. I have now downloaded and installed the dev verision of ASP.Net AJAX. I´ve found a new dll called "Telerik.Web.Design.dll" under the folder "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Telerik.Web.Design\v4.0_2010.2.929.40__121fae78165ba3d4". I simply removed the old dll with the same name from References in my Visual Studio 2010 project and added a new reference to new "Telerik.Web.Design.dll". Is that correct and is there a simple way of finding out if I have succeded with my upgrade?
What is getting me a bit confused is that there is an old dll called "Telerik.web.ui trial version" and I do not know if this should be replaced with a new dll or perhaps even removed?

Best Regards,

Thomas Andersson

Hi Ruman,

Sorry for not reading your answer correctly. I will try to add a reference to the new "Telerik.Web.UI.dll".

Hi Ruman,

I´ve now done the following:

1. Installed the dev verision of ASP.Net AJAX.
2. Removed the old "Telerik.Web.UI.dll" from refences under my Visual Studio 2010 project.
3. Added a  reference to the (new?)"Telerik.Web.UI.dll" under the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q2 2010\Bin35"
4. Rebild my project with no errors.

However I´m getting the following error:

 

Server Error in '/' Application.

It seems that that my new "Telerik.Web.UI.dll" is not found? Would you know if the new dev version of this dll is found under the folder ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q2 2010\Bin35"?

Hi Thomas,

I saw in the provided error details that your project runs on .NET 4.0. That is why you should use the Telerik.Web.UI.dll from the Bin40 installation folder.

Please, try the following steps to solve the problem:
1) Delete the Telerik.Web.UI.dll in the Bin folder of your project and remove the reference to it in the Solution Explorer of Visual Studio.
2) Manually copy the Telerik.Web.UI.dll placed in the Bin40 installation folder and paste it in the bin folder of your project.
3) Add a reference to the new Telerik.Web.UI.dll located in the bin folder of your project.

This should fix the issue.

If you still experience the problem, isolate it in a sample working project and send it for examination through a support ticket.
