UPDATE: Fixed! See my post about 5 message down...
I'm having a unique problem that I can't seem to resolve. I have a project that contains the Q2 Rad Controls for AJAX, but I cannot add any of them to my web forms. No one else on the team seems to have this problem. They can just open a web form, double-click on a RadGrid, RadTextbox, RadTreeView, etc. and the controls appear on the page. This doesn't work for me.
HOWEVER... and here's the thing that has me scratching my head... if I start any new projects, I can add the Rad Controls to the web forms just fine. It's only on this one project.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hello Golem,
Is that a .Net3.5 project? If so, do you work with the Service Pack 1 of VS 2008?
You can compare the web.config files of the project in question and a new one for example to see what the differences are. You can even copy your custom settings if any and add them to the newly created web.config from Visual Studio to see if that resolves the problem.

Yes, sorry. I forgot to mention that. It is a VS2008 SP1 3.5 web project. I compared the web.configs of this project compared to a new one, and aside from a few custom settings, they are the same.
The behavior I'm seeing is that if I double-click a Rad tool in the toolbox (or try to drag-and-drop it) onto a web form, there is a slight pause as if it's going to do it, but then it doesn't do it. Nothing is added to the web form in the designer or in the HTML source. And no changes are made to the web.config.
But it's only this one project. Everyone else on the same project can add the Rad tools to the form just fine.
Also, if I open a new project, I can add Rad tools to the web forms as usual, and the appropriate changes are made to the HTML source (including the @Register directive) and the Telerik assembly section is added to the web.config automatically.
Just not on the other project. What could be causing that behavior?

I should also probably add that it applies to any web projects in this one particular solution... i.e. we have a couple of different web projects under the same solution, and I can't add the rad tools to any of them.
If I create a new web project in a NEW solution, then I don't have the problem.

Interesting... Apparently I fixed it.
On a whim, I did a "Clean Solution" and then a "Build Solution" from the Build menu (I suppose I could have just done a "Rebuild" which is supposed to do both in one step).
That solved my problem. I can now drag-and-drop controls onto my web forms in this particular project. Some ancillary file in the project must have become out of sync or corrupt.
So if anyone else was having a similar problem, make sure your references to the Telerik.Web.UI dll are correct and then try cleaning your solution. It worked for me!

I am experiencing the same issue. VS2010 Pro. 4.0 project using 3.5 controls...(don't ask). dragging and dropping the radcontrols was working just fine until a couple days ago. steps taken
Rebuild (no affect)
Delete temp asp.net files from 4.0 dir (no effect)
even copying in the
register assembly to the page and trying drag/drop does not fix the issue.
any idea on possible problem?
Never mind... as a last ditch I went to re-add the items and notice that the library reference was to a folder that no longer existed.. so try that if it happens to you.
Right click toolbox > Add items > check where the radcontrols dll is being referenced. (odds are it is a location that no longer exists.)

Hi Mac,
The library points to a folder, specified in the registry. Can you check the subkeys under the following keys for Telerik entries:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v2.0.50727\AssemblyFoldersEx
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v2.0.50727\AssemblyFoldersEx
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v2.0.50727\AssemblyFoldersEx
(Note: the keys get based with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ on a 64-bit machine)
Kind regards,
