no skins assembly found

[Jim]

Installed "RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX" yesterday.

Went sort of smoothly.
Started on RadControlsAJAXCourseware Chapter 2 Navigation.
Got that to work OK i.e. Set the Skin property to "WebBlue". worked OK

So started a new project this morning.
When I drag a docklayout I get a popup about "A file name with 'Bin/Telerik.Web,UI.dll already exists. Do you want to replace.
Tried both Yes and No. Allows me to continue.

Then tried to select a skin and get an error about "no skin assmebly found"
The Solution Explore show in bin
Telerik.Web.UI.dll
Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.dll
Telerik.Web.UI.xml
Tried a complete deinstall and reinstall of Telerik AJAX , didn;t solve it.

I am sure that I could select skins yesterday.

Any ideas, have a trashed something ???

Hmm, I can add a skin to a raddockzone.
So perhaps a raddoclayout doesn't allow skins ?
But is does offer them.

Hello Jim,

The RadDockLayout control allows to set the skin of the RadDock controls placed in it , e.g.

<telerik:RadDockLayout runat="server" ID="RadDockLayout1" Skin="Forest">
    <table>
        <tr>
            <td style="vertical-align: top">
                <telerik:RadDockZone ID="RadDockZone2" runat="server" Orientation="Vertical" Width="250px"
                    MinHeight="400px">
                    <telerik:RadDock ID="RadDock1" runat="server" Title="Blogs" Width="250px" EnableAnimation="true"
                        EnableRoundedCorners="true" Resizable="true">
                        <ContentTemplate>
                            some content
                        </ContentTemplate>
                    </telerik:RadDock>
                </telerik:RadDockZone>
            </td>
            <td style="vertical-align: top">
                <telerik:RadDockZone ID="RadDockZone1" runat="server" Orientation="Vertical" Width="560px"
                    MinHeight="400px">
                    <telerik:RadDock ID="RadDock2" runat="server" Title="News" Width="250px" EnableAnimation="true"
                        EnableRoundedCorners="true" Resizable="true">
                        <ContentTemplate>
                      some content
                        </ContentTemplate>
                    </telerik:RadDock>
                </telerik:RadDockZone>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </table>
</telerik:RadDockLayout>

For your convenience I have attached my test project and video demonstrating my test:
Are you able to reproduce the problem with the attached project?
