I've reached the end of my rope with this problem. I've read and tried everything I have found on the net as well as all of the posts that have been placed on this forum ... the toolbox is still hidden when my ASP.NET application is active in the Visual Studio 2008 designer. When I select the View All Items option for the toolbox I see the RadControls for ASPNET AJAX A1 2009 toolbox but all of them are greyed out. This occurs when I create a StrataFrame ASP.NET Web Application Project (www.strataframe.net). However, it does not occur (the items are available) when I create a standard Web Application Project from the File -> New -> Project -> Visual C# -> Web -> ASP.NET Web Application template. Now before you say this is StrataFrame's problem there are a few things you must know:
1. I have a Dell M170 laptop where the toolbox for the RadControls (same version as listed above) works fine when a StrataFrame application is active in the designer.
2. DevExpress toolbox works fine, all the time, no matter what type of project is in the designer (StrataFrame or a regular old Web Application)
3. Infragistics toolbox works fine in all situations as well, no matter what type of project is in the designer.
4. I have tried to manually install the toolbar several different ways (such as dragging and dropping the dll in a toolbox) ... running the shortcut provided on the menu, manually using the ToolboxInstaller.exe and finally using the Choose Items dialog and selecting the bin35 subdirectory and the Telerik.Web.UI.dll located therein.
It is as if the Telerik toolbox does not recognize the application as a web application and does not activate the items in the toolbox. It is unfortunate but for this client I have to use Telerik. Please help.

PS: This was in the toolbox installer log ... don't know if that helps or not.
INSTALL: could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80030002 (STG_E_FILENOTFOUND))
INSTALL: at EnvDTE80.Solution2.AddFromTemplate(String FileName, String Destination, String ProjectName, Boolean Exclusive)
at Telerik.Installation.ToolBoxInstaller.Init()
at Telerik.Installation.ToolBoxInstaller.Execute(String command)
PSS: When I add the controls from the bin folder and not the bin35 folder, the controls show up and are activated just fine, wiith both project types (templates).

I figured out what the problem was, the 3.5 controls are greyed out when the Web Application Project is targeted for the .NET Framework 2.0. When the WAP is targeted for .NET Framework 3.5 then the 3.5 controls become active. That is why the toolbar was not working with a StrataFrame application. I had the 3.5 version of the controls installed and StrataFrame defaults to .NET Framework 2.0.
