[Solved] Deploying Telerik MVC web extentions application

[Jeff]

What is the best way to deploy an application to a web server using VS 2010? via our dev build definitions I get the "Could not resolve this reference" error regarding Telerik.Web.Mvc. What's the suggested way to get Telerik extensions on the server?
1) Just copy the .dll to something like: C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\Extensions for ASP.NET MVC Q2 2011\Binaries\Mvc3\Telerik.Web.Mvc.dll
2) Do GAC registration?
3) Download and install the extensions on the server?

Thanks for any assistance on this.

Hello Jeff,

 You should deploy the Telerik.Web.Mvc.dll in the bin folder of your web application. You don't need to install Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC on your server (although this is possible). GAC registration is also not required - just copy the folder of your web application as you would normally deploy an ASP.NET MVC application.

Thanks for the reply.
I had to work through some issues with our deployment process here. I needed to check the .dll into source control so the build machine would check it out and copy it over in order to use for building. Thanks again!

Hello Atanas

We have used Telerik extensions for ASP.Net MVC 3 applications. We have created our views in Razor engine & have used Telerik grids. So far all has gone well. But when we deploy the application on server, we are not able to see the icons in the grid(eg. funnel icon for filter).
Kindly advise on possible root causes and solutions for the same.

Thanks :)

Hi Vipul,

Do the image files actually exist on the server? You can use Firebug / Fiddler to examine the responses from the server and to see why the images are not loaded.


All the best,

Hi Georgi

You were correct. The deployment folder did not contain any of the required images. We have fixed the issue.
Thanks for prompt response.

Hi Vipul,

I am using telerik mvc web extensions in my company to build a intranet application for our customer. I wanted to ask if the controls are free to use ? I downloaded the required dll's from Nuget. The application would be intranet application for our customer's organization.

Thanks.
