How to use previous RadControls.

[vamshi]

We have a old application where it uses Telerik 2009 version where it contains a dll for each control such as Radwindow.
In 2009 version if we need to use Radwindow we register something like this

 

<%

@ Register Assembly="RadWindow.Net2" Namespace="Telerik.WebControls" TagPrefix="rad" %>

 

and use the same like

 

 

<

 

rad:RadWindowManager ID="RadWindowManager1" runat="server">

 

 

 

Now we have 2010 version where we have a license.  How to upgrade these files. If we just replace them with our new version will it work?
But in the new version we have only one dll but in the older version we have a single dll for each control.
Please help.

Hello Vamshi,

In order to use Telerik ASP.NET AJAX 2010 version, register in your aspx file as shown below.

<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hello Vamshi,

You have been using RadControls for ASP.NET so far, while now, you are upgrading to RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. The AJAX suite is a successor of the classic one and it is built on top of the MS AJAX framework.

Indeed, the classic version of the suite used separate Dll files for every control. With RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX, all controls are using single assembly - Telerik.Web.UI.dll. When you upgrade, apart from changing the registration on the page (like Shinu suggested), you will need to modify the controls' settings as well. I would suggest to examine first our documentation - there is a "migration from classic to ASP.NET AJAX" topic in every control's folder, so you can see what changes should be made in the controls that your project is using.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,
