Hi

Scenario firstly:
We started on Q4 2006, upgraded to 2008 via zip  (supposedly)  certainly I changed the References in the dll refreshes to the new dll. (and changed / removed the version number from the aspx's and web.config

Now however, on 2009.1  I have several issues, which may well be, because I m running mixed versions. Notably the RadWindows don't allow tabs to change, rad editor menu items to fire etc.

Initially I downloaded the 2009 exe and ran setup  ....GAC errors everywhere. so Removed everything remotely Telerik from the GAC.
Then used the zip,  extracted it, and copied the folders  to Inetpub/wwwroot/Telerik_RadControls,...& added then to the toolbox.

The Bin at this point still has all dll's listed that have been used in the apps,  which reference  earlier versions of rad controls, which I would rather keep as there would be weeks spent in updating controls on all the pages in several apps.  (Also the default skin eg RADGrid is somewhat different, but I need the new functionalities, export to excel/pdf, rad editor exports etc.)

The web.Ui.dll and radgrid and editor all point to the  Inetpub/wwwroot/Telerik_RadControls/bin/Telerik.Web.UI.Dll, mlst still use something like

<%

@ Register TagPrefix="radG" Namespace="Telerik.WebControls" Assembly="RadGrid.Net2" %>

 


The Questions:
1)
Howcome the updated reference in the  bib/RadGrid.Net2.dll (refreshed with it's.dll.refresh changed to 

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Telerik_RadControls\bin\Telerik.Web.UI.dll

still shows the old version of the grid.

Is it the 

<

add path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" verb="*" type="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource, Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2008.2.723.20, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" validate="false"/>  under

 

<

httpHandlers>

 

in the web.config
with

<

assemblies>

 

....

<

add assembly="Telerik.Web.UI, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121FAE78165BA3D4"/>

 

(NO Version numbering) which allows this.

2)  What would i need to do, to ensure I can use both versions successfully?? 
  • Do i have to do work in the GAC  , or/and web.config, or/and
        C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\WebSiteName\
  • Should I (hopefully not)  uninstall 2006/2009 and start again?



many Thanks
Neal

Hi Neal,

Adding Telerik controls for ASP.NET. AJAX does not mean that the old version of controls will be removed automatically.
To add RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX to an existing ASP.NET web application you need to follow the steps in this help topic:
Adding RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX to an existing application

Additionally to understand how to migrate a Web application from RadGrid "Classic" to RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX, please refer to the following article.

About your second question:

There is no problem to use different assembly versions in your web applications.

I hope this information helps.

Sincerely yours,
Pavlina
