Invalid or malformed application: Check manifest

[priya]

Hi,

I get the following error when I add a silverlight application to my existing project and  link the silverlight project to my Project.

Unhandled Error in Silverlight Application
Code: 2103   
Category: InitializeError      
Message: Invalid or malformed application: Check manifest    

I have a RadMAP control in the silverlight application.
When i run this silverlight application independently it shows me the map but if i link it to an existing project i get this above.
FYI i use telerik.Windows.controls.dll and telerik.Windows.controls.datavisualisation.dll .Please let me know the solution

Thnks,
Priya

Hi priya,

RadMap requires 3 DLLs (2 is not enough):

1. Telerik.Windows.Controls.dll
2. Telerik.Windows.Data.dll
3. Telerik.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.dll

The problem you've described is not related to the controls that are used in the application (RadMap, for example), but to the attempt to change namespace in your Silverlight application. There are a lot of articles in the Internet which describe the problem and give a solution. For example:
