I already have the dll in the bin folder what else should I do to run you a step by step for me to resolve this issue?

Hi Toboy,

Did you try to update your reference to the newly added assembly files as described in this video? If you have already done that, I would ask you to open a support ticket and send me a simplified runnable project that I can inspect locally and determine what is causing the issue.

Hello Vrushali,

It is possible that there are cases when there are issues related to the upgrading/installation process. Looking at the error that you describe it seems that the project/application that you are attempting to run can not find reference to the Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.dll assembly file where the Black skin is located. There are two reasons for the exception to be thrown - there are either no references set to the upgraded assembly files or the references are still the old ones pointing to the GAC. To resolve the exception you can try using the following approach - place all of the assembly files (Telerik.Web.UI.dll, Telerik.Web.UI.skins.dll and Telerik.web.Design.dll) in the local bin folder and update the references as demonstrated in this video.

Or you can use the following approach as well:
1. Delete the existing ones
2. Add the the Telerik.Web.UI.dll, Telerik.Web.UI.skins.dll and Telerik.web.Design.dll in the Bin directory
3. Add references to the above mentioned dll files.
4. Rebuild the solution

Another approach that you can try out is to use our CDN provider as explained in this help article.
