Hello, help me please.

I use Telerik asp.net AJAX in my ASP.NET  application (version 2012.2.724.35)
I get an error "NullReferenceException" (when the page loads containing Telerik controls) when putting the assembly Telerik.Web.UI.dll in GAC  o_O...
When the assembly is not in GAC - everything is working fine.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Vladimir,

The following article has some information on how to add assemblies to the GAC: http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/general/adding-a-control-to-the-gac-global-assembly-cache.aspx.

Could you please paste here the registration of the Telerik.Web.UI assemblies on your page and in your web.config file?

Kind regards,
Ivana

Thanks for the article. I did an assembly installed in a similar way.

registration assemblies on page
<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>


I tried to use
<%@ Register TagPrefix="telerik" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2012.2.724.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" %>
but it did not help

registration assemblies on web.config file

Hello Vladimir,

Could you confirm that the PublicKeyToken is the the same in your web.config file and in the GAC?
You could use the following commands in Visual Studio Command Prompt in order to get enlisted all the content in the GAC into a external .txt file:
gacutil /l > c:/text.txt -- creates a txt file containing all the references from the GAC in the file specifies by the path.

I hope this will help.

All the best,
Ivana

I was able to fix that by giving the full name of the assembly in the Assembly attribute of <asp:ScriptReference> element in the RadScriptManager in my master page. Anyways- thanks for replying.

Cheers,
Wasif.
