DNN 9.11.3 Telerik Fix

[Justin]

I realize this isn't a DNN forum, but couldn't find anything there so hoping someone here can answer.

After upgrading to DNN 9.11.3 several modules don't work right because DNN no longer supports Telerik.

I've read somewhere that you can purchase a Telerik license and just update the dlls for it in DNN in order to resolve this issue.

Has anyone else had this experience?

Thanks

Hi Justin,

You can download the latest trial build of Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX from https://www.telerik.com/account/downloads/product-download?product=RCAJAX and upgrade to it following the manual upgrade instructions.

Should you encounter any issues with assembly references, you might need to implement a bindingRedirect in your DNN app's web.config file for Telerik.Web.UI and Telerik.Web.UI.Skins, as follows:

<configuration>
    <runtime>
        <dependentAssembly>
            <assemblyIdentity name="Telerik.Web.UI" publicKeyToken="121fae78165ba3d4" />
            <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-2024.1.131.40" newVersion="2024.1.131.40" />
        </dependentAssembly>
        <dependentAssembly>
            <assemblyIdentity name="Telerik.Web.UI.Skins" publicKeyToken="121fae78165ba3d4" />
            <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-2024.1.131.40" newVersion="2024.1.131.40" />
        </dependentAssembly>
    </runtime>
</configuration>

If the upgrade is successful, you can purchase the latest Telerik version and replace the trial assemblies with the paid Developer ones.

Unfortunately, I am unable to offer detailed upgrade instructions for DotNetNuke since it is a third-party CMS not officially supported by our Telerik controls. For specialized guidance with DNN, I recommend consulting the DNN Community Ask an Expert page.
