How to make the latest pack backward compatible

[sandeep]

Hi All,
 
        I have recently downloaded the trial pack of telerik latest Rad Controls for asp.net ajax exe pack. But when i use them they only support .net 3.5 and errors are thrown when using 2.0 for the same controls. They work fine in a wesite built on .net 3.5  Is there anyway i can use the latest pack available with telerik work with .net 2.0 please help.

Thanks,
Sandeep

Hello Sandeep,

The installation of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX contains /bin and /bin35 folder which hold the .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.5 build of Telerik.Web.UI.dll. Hence in order to use our ASP.NET AJAX components under ASP.NET 2.0, use the assembly from the /bin sub-folder of the installation.

More information on this subject you can find in the documentation here.

Hi,
 
       Thanks for that but later on if i buy the pack and i need this to be integrated with my DNN Modules and DNN modules can be installed on any dnn sites which might be built on 2.0 or 3.5 Then how will i need to replace the dll's i cannot make two packs one for 2.0 and one for 3.5. I will have only one module but it should run on either of the sites how can this be done

Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,

If you use the .NET 2.0 build of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX your DNN modules should operate properly both under ASP.NET 2.x and ASP.NET 3.5 environment. Let me know if I am missing something.

Hi sandeep,

It could be that there is still a reference to the Net2.0 assembly in your project, which the Visual Studio IDE copies over the Net3.5 assembly and later cannot find the Net3.5 one.

Can you check all the references of your project (GAC, sub project references, etc)?

Hi
 
      Do i need to rebuild or publish the website from where i made the packs after replacing the dll of telerik. Because the site from which i have made my module packs is built on 3.5 i have replaced the telerik 3.5 dll with telerik 2.0 one and it works fine. but i did not republish the website and also this has a system.web.extension and design files of version 3.5.0.0 but the site which is built on 2.0 has the files versions 1.6.0 ....  . I had the same packs without republishing installed on this new site only just with the replacement of the telerik 2.0 dll. Will that be a problem. Can you please help . I need this real quick today.

If i need to republish the site i will and again make packs and then test?

Thanks,
Sandeep.M

[Erjan Gavalji]

Hi sandeep,

If you use a Web Application project - yes, you need to rebuild and republish the site. If not, i.e. you use a Visual Studio Web Site, then replacing the assemblies and the web.config file should suffice as far as you do not have full assembly name references in the ASPX/ASCX  files (e.g. <% Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI, Version=..." %>.

Ok then there is nothing related with system.web.extensions and design files? it might be of older version? Anyway i will publish now and let you know

Thanks,
Sandeep.M

[sandeep]

I have done as you said I have published the site and made new packs but now it throws this error

"The control with ID 'RadTabStrip1' requires a ScriptManager on the page. The ScriptManager must appear before any controls that need it."

What i have done is for the site built on 3.5 i replaced the telerik dll as i said in my previous post with telerik 2.0 and then published the website and made new packs and built a new site made of 2.0 and tried to install and the above error is throne

And the same works fine with 3.5 . What should i do. please help its getting neck tight for me

Thanks,

Hi Guys,

      Anybody out there to help??

Thanks,

Hello sandeep,

This appears to be a  problem only with DNN 4.7.0 through 4.8.1.

It is recommended that anyone having these problems upgrade to 4.8.2 or higher.

A security breach was found in previous DNN versions.  This was fixed in version 4.8.3.  So if anyone is going to do an upgrade, it would be best for them to upgrade to 4.8.4.

For more information on the matter please refer to this article.

Best wishes,

Hi,
 
 Does the Telerik.web.ui.dll 2.0 needs system.web.extension files which are of latest 3.5 version or is it enough to have 1.06 or something like that that is the older version. Because though i make a pack with 2.0 telerik dll and have 1.06 system web extension and design files installed along with the pack on .net 2.0 site still its throwing the same above specified error

"The control with ID 'RadTabStrip1' requires a ScriptManager on the page. The ScriptManager must appear before any controls that need it. "

I also have tried to install this on DNN 4.8.04 but with no luck. What might be the problem. Its working on the site built on .net 3.5 framework which has telerik2.0 dll but have system.web.extension files which are of 3.5 version and they are supported only for .net 3.5 framework. Now what should i do? please Telerik please help this is seeming to be a really a big issue for me.

What might be the problem. Or please provide a procedure on how to make packs in order to make them work for 2.0

Thanks in advance,
Sandeep.M

Hi Sandeep,

RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX for .NET 2.0 require System.Web.Extensions 1.0.6, so there is no need to add System.Web.Extensions for .NET 3.5.

As for the ScriptManager error - it is quite self-explanatory. Please make sure that the RadTabStrip is not placed before the ScriptManager in your code. You can also try removing temporarily the RadTabStrip from the application, in order to see that everything else is working.

Hi,

Please check with my code. I dont use any script manager in my control as by default dnn has it.

My control code starts with that is .ascx file

      <!-- Control to display the tabs in the main control -->
             
              <telerik:RadTabStrip ID="RadTabStrip1" runat="server" Align="Justify"

                   </telerik:RadTab>
               </Tabs>
             </telerik:RadTabStrip>

and continues

and my backend codes page load has

  Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
            Try

                ' Check whether the Ajax has been installed in the framewrok and register post back controls for excel export links

                If DotNetNuke.Framework.AJAX.IsInstalled Then

This is how it goes the same works fine in 3.5 and not in 2.0 why is this pbm occuring Rad Tab Strip?

Hello Sandeep,

Please make sure that the ScriptManager is not added after the user control, which contains RadTabStrip.

Hi All,

 Here is a more clear description.

       I have developed a module which uses the telerik controls. It is running fine on the site built on .net 3.5 framework. I use the Telerik.Web.UI.dll 2.0 version for making it to work with sites built on .net 2.0. But i get a very strange error while installing the module on the sites built on .net2.0 framework. The same package works fine on sites built on .net 3.5 framework. I get the script manager error when i add my module to the page for the site built on 2.0 framework as shown below.

A critical error has occurred.
The control with ID 'RadTabStrip1' requires a ScriptManager on the page. The ScriptManager must appear before any controls that need it.
