[Solved] RadEditor & Upgrade to WSS 3.0

[Adam Drewes]

We are in the process of upgrading our server from WSS 2.0 to WSS 3.0. We have a custom solution built on top of WSS 2.0 using the RadEditor. When we installed WSS 3.0 onto the server, everything continued to work except for the RadEditor. It looks like it is trying to use the new WSS 3.0 Dlls. Do you know how we can force it to look back at the old Dlls?

Thanks,
Adam

Hello Adam,

Were you using the RadEditor for SharePoint product (RadEditorSharePoint.dll) in your solution, or the normal RadEditor control (RadEditor.dll)?

Does the error occur only when you open a page with the editor? Try removing the line

<add verb="*" path="*.aspx" type="Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationRuntime.SharePointHandlerFactory, Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" />

from the web.config file in the RadControls folder and see if this fixes the problem.

From the error details it seems that the website is running under ASP.NET 1.1. It is trying to load the Microsoft.SharePoint assembly from WSS 3.0, but this cannot be done since the WSS 3.0 version is compiled for ASP.NET 2.0.

Lini,

Thanks for your response.

I am using the RadEditorSharePoint.dll.

Does the error occur only when you open a page with the editor? Try removing the line

<add verb="*" path="*.aspx" type="Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationRuntime.SharePointHandlerFactory, Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" />

from the web.config file in the RadControls folder and see if this fixes the problem.

Yes, it only occurs when I open a page with the RadEditor; however, I have looked in the wpresources\RadWebParts\2.0.x\RadControls\web.config and the <add> tag with the MicrosoftSharePoint.dll is not there. It is; however, in the C:\inetpub\servernamedir\web.config.

Should I remove it from the root web.config?

Hello Adam,

If the control is included only in the application's web.config file, then you should not remove it. You can try removing the <bindingRedirect> element for the Microsoft.SharePoint assembly from the \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\wpresources\Web.config file.
