export to pdf error after upgrade to Q3 2010

[John S]

Hi.  After upgrading to Q3 2010, export to pdf is now throwing a run time error (see below).  The export functionality was working fine with Q2 2010.  Also noticed the export to PDF no longer works on the demo page:

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/generalfeatures/pdfexport/defaultcs.aspx

I downloaded the latest internal build in order to correct the same issue with the export to PDF error.  Now I cannot run my project locally.

The Telerik controls cannot be created.  I keep getting "Telerik is undefined".  From Firebug:

Telerik is not defined

 $create(Telerik.Web.UI.RadTextBox,..."]}}, null, null, $get("UserName"));

I extracted the .NET 4.0 version of the DLLs and replaced my 2010 Q3 versions with those new ones and rebuilt my solution.

Is there anything I missed in order to get the DLLs replaced and working properly?

Jerry


EDIT: P.S. - It's important to turn off CDN for this.  :-)    Looks like it's working now.

Hello Jerry,

Please mind that the latest internal builds are:

• made automatically and include all current fixes from our source repository
• intended for development only
• not recommended for production purposes
• have not gone through the complete QA process
• an integral part of our development process
• no CDN support (applicable to ASP.NET Ajax and ASP.NET MVC RadControls)
