Attempting to add Telerik Controls to Toolbox crashes VS2008 with .NET 2.0 projects

[Scott]

I've tried this on three different machines now, all with Visual Studio 2008 Professional with .NET 3.5 and SP1 for both, targeting a standard .NET 2.0 ASP.NET Web Application, all are VISTA Ultimate with SP1 as well.  Any attempts to right-click a toolbox category and selecting Choose Items causes the usual lengthy delay, then immediately crashes and closes Visual Studio.  This only happens when targeting a .NET 2.0 project/solution.  As such, I'm unable to use the Telerik Rad Controls for ASP.NET AJAX on any of our .NET 2.0 projects.  I've checked for differing framework DLLs in the GAC, and have resolved any issues there, and still the same problem.

Is anyone else experiencing this, or can point me in a direction of where to look next?  No events are registered, and no relevant log files indicated anything amiss or that addresses this problem.

Thank you!

Hello Scott,

This may occur if you are adding the .NET 3.5 version of Telerik.Web.UI.dll in 2.0 project. Please make sure you are using the dll from the Bin folder of your RadControls installation (as opposed to the one from the bin35 folder).

Hi Scott,

Did you find a solution to this problem by any chance? I'm having the same problem when i try to add items to my toolbox and its only started crashing after i installed RadControls.

Thanks in advance

Hello Hansinie,

If the response from my colleague does not help you, try to add the controls manually to the VS 2005 toolbox following the instructions from this documentation topic to see whether this works.
