BrowserLink in Visual Studio 2013 breaks rendering

[Christoffer Rosenqvist]

We are using RadGrid quite extensively in one of our projects and as we moved to Visual Studio 2013 basically the rendering of all of them crashed. Some grids stopped outputting a table altogether, others justs rendered wrong.

This only happened in VS2013, not in 2012 and not on servers where we deployed. Finally we tracked it down to the new BrowserLink functionality in VS 2013. Once we disabled BrowserLink in appSettings in web.config everything started working again.

<appSettings>
 <add key="vs:EnableBrowserLink" value="false" />
</appSettings>

@Christoffer  - Thanks for sharing your findings. I too had the same problem after Installing VS2013 - And disabling browserlink fixed all the grids that were just plain not showing after the upgrade.

Telerik - Can you please provide a fix ASAP as this is a problem with VS2013 & Telerik "Out of the box" - so new installs will always experience this.

Thanks

Hello,

This issue is already fixed and the fix is part of our latest internal build. You can download this version of RadControls or wait for Q3 2013 SP1. which will be released in the middle of November.

Thanks Christopher! This fixed our issue with the HTML Reportviewer not rendering correctly in VS2013 as well. It was creating and extra %22 in the url path for report resources only causing a 404.

Thanks!

@Christoffer - thank you, this was driving me nuts. I could not figure out why RadGrids were not displaying properly, until I switched off BrowserLink. Pfew! :)
