RadDatePicker not exist in code behind

[Brew Hutch]

I'm trying to use RadDatePicker in Visual Web Part. The problem was when I tried to call it in .vb (let's say its ID is radDate1), it did not exist in IntelliSense. Seeming like it's not recognized. 

TestWebPart.ascx

..

<%@ Register TagPrefix="telerik" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" %>

        <telerik:RadDatePicker ID="radDate1" Runat="server" AutoPostBack="false">                           

            <DateInput DateFormat="MM/dd/yyyy" />                   

        </telerik:RadDatePicker>

..



TestWebPart.ascx.vb

Private Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

     radDate1  <--- not found in IntelliSense

End Sub

web.config

<SafeControls>
...
<SafeControl Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2010.1.309.20, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TypeName="*" Safe="True" SafeAgainstScript="False" />
...
</SafeControls>
...
<assemblies>
...
<add assembly="Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2010.1.309.20, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" />
...
</assemblies>

Please advise

Thanks

Hello Brew,

The absence of IntelliSense is not an expected behavior. Make sure that your project has the necessary reference to the telerik dll, build the project and try again.

I found a solution. I manually added this line in .ascx.designer.vb

Protected WithEvents radDate As Global.Telerik.Web.UI.RadDatePicker

It's weird that vs2010 will not add it automatically after the Visaul Web Part control has been created.

Any idea?

I am having the same problem on Visual Studion 2012.  I have removed and readded the telerik dll references and still keeps happening.  It is only with the RadDatePicker control.  Sometimes if I manually add the line Protected WithEvents radDate As Global.Telerik.Web.UI.RadDatePicker to the .ascx.designer.vb file it works, but then the line disappears when that file is updated.  I am using the latest release of the teleik controls version number: 2012.3.1308.40

Thanks,
Bob

Hello Bob,

Is your set-up under SharePoint 2010 or outside of it?

It is in a User Control in web forms project. I am sorry when I read this post I did not realize the forum that I was in. I update the control suite using the Control Panel application and the problem has not reoccurred.
