Hi Stuart,

The error states "Could not load file or assembly 'Telerik.Charting, Version=2.0.4.0", that is there is no such assembly available in the Bin folder or in the machine GAC. The reason is simple - Telerik.Web.UI 2008 Q2 SP2 (the latest release) uses Telerik.Charting version 2.0.5. You can update your web.config file to refer to this version of Telerik.Charting and it will be fine.

do i have to download update version of telerik controls.
Telerik.Web.UI 2008 Q2 SP2  and Telerik.Charting version 2.0.5.

[Paul]

Hi Stuart,

We do recommend you always use the latest versions of the controls if possible. So, in a word - YES.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your help.

I have now updated my web.config file to 2.0.5.0, yet I am still getting almost the same Configuration error.  See below.

I am trying to sort this out for a clients website and Telerik controls don't seem to want to work on the server solution they have provided.

It is working on our local system, but not on the server.

If you've got any more ideas, they would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Stuart

Hi Stuart,

As Paul noticed, the error states "Could not load file or assembly 'Telerik.Charting, Version=2.0.5.0", that is there is no such assembly available in the Bin folder or in the machine GAC.

As the solution works locally, I suppose Telerik.Charting is installed in your local system's GAC, but not in the server's GAC. If adding Telerik.Charting to server's GAC is not an option, you can add it to the web site local Bin folder.

Hope this helps.

Hi, I'm snooping in on this one because I'm getting the same error with 2.0.5. I have Telerik.web.ui.dll in my bin folder, but not charting.

I do own my own web servers, so I can't think of a reason why I can't load it in my GAC, other than the fact that I dont' know what that is or how to do it. Can you tell me how to put it in my GAC?

Also, I will be having several websites on this serving using the Telerik controls, so it would be nice to have even the telerik.web.ui.dll in one place instead of in every project.

Is that possible? If so, where should I put it and how should I reference it?

I've been on a six month contract using q1 2008 asp.net classic telerik. But now I'm going off this contract and working for my own clients again, so I am on trial with the Q3 ajax version and do intend to purchase it while you're having the special through nov. 5, hopefully, if I can get everything setup and working on my own.

Thanks,
Moon

Hi Moon,

Please, check this help topic, dedicated to adding RadControls to GAC. As for the GAC itself -- you can check these articles:

• MSDN - Global Assembly Cache
• Code Project - Demystifying the .NET Global Assembly Cache
• MS Support KB - How to install an assembly in GAC

As for the error -- our records show that you have downloaded RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q2 2008, so my answer will be for this version. Please, make sure that Telerik.Charting v2.0.5 is available - either in app's Bin folder or in GAC. You can find Telerik.Charting.dll in bin and in bin35 folder of your Telerik.RadControls installation folder along with Telerik.Web.UI.dll. The files in bin folder target .NET framework versions 2.0 and 3.0 while those in bin35 target .NET 3.5. This is discussed in details here.

For RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q3 2008 -- there will be no Telerik.Charting.dll, so you will not have to worry about it. It will be merged in Telerik.Web.UI.dll in the same manner as it is done in RadChart.Net2.dll. You can find more details in this blog post.

So do I understand correctly that although the latest release is Q3, the download for the free trial is Q2 and there is no free trial for Q3?

thanks.

[Serrin]

Hey Moon,

I don't think Q3 is being released until next month...  We're currently on Q2 still (with whatever SP it is on).  Or at least that's what my trial download page says. :)

Oh, wait, ASP.NET Ajax roadmap is confirming that for us:

Our next major release (Q3 2008) will be available in the first half of November.
