When using the latest nightly silverlight components and the latest silverlight report viewer the report viewer cant find the radtoolbar control. The dll must be a different version. I guess I cant use the latest silverlight controls because I use the silverlight report viewer? Unless someone has a link to an awesome article on MEF, Silverlight and loading separate xaps on demand?

I found it
http://development-guides.silverbaylabs.org/Video/Silverlight-MEF
with this approach you could create a report app that dynamically loads with its own telerik controls separate from the main app.
Though you will have two copies of the telerik controls that have to be downloaded.

Hi MiddleTommy,

I've attached a sample project using Telerik Reporting Q2 with the latest internal build of the Silverlight controls that works properly. Would appreciate if you modify it and comment what differs on your end.

Funny now it is working
your demo versions were
Viewer : 4.1.10.714
Controls: 2010.2.812.1040


I now have successfully used
Viewer: 4.1.10.729
Controls: 2010.2.903.1040

I believe it was a problem of using a minified assembly that didnt have the toolbar control in it. When I changed the project references to a new minified version with the toolbar or a full version the original minified version was not being replaced in the Bin folder because the assemblies had the same version. After clearing out the Bin folder and experimenting all works. I need to post on the Assembly Minifier forum about many problems I found with using minified assemblies.

So in conclusion this was a Visual Studio bug (or user misunderstanding) of how new references are copied compared to what already exists in the Bin folder.
