RADFORM in visual studio 2010

[Jose Maria Andrew Sison]

hi guys,

ive recently updated my visual studio 2008 to visual studio 2010. before doing it ive uninstalled telerik controls and also visual studio 2008.

when i installed everything again. i did not encounter any error. but when i create a new project or opened an old project, and tried to add a Radform i could not add it. normally i just do a simple add item and then select the Radform. unfortunately, now cannot select the Radform nor could not see any item for radcontrols.

hoping for your help.

thanks.

Hi Jose Maria Andrew Sison,

Thank you for writing.

Could you try to reinstall Visual Studio templates using the following command in Visual Studio command prompt:
"devenv /installvstemplates"

In addition, you could perform steps described here which explain how to install the templates manually.

I hope this helps.

All the best,

Peter

Hi there,

Occasionally, I receive an error when I attempt to add a new RadForm to my project.  I attempt to restart VS2010, but continue to receive the same error.  I have also followed the instructions about reloading the templates, and that has not worked.
This is such a normal task of adding new forms that having errors like this is unacceptable, nor should I have to go through hoops everytime to "fix" the error.

The error is as follows:

[A]Telerik.BSX.WizardEngine.Configuration.ScenarioDefinition cannot be cast to [B]Telerik.VSX.WizardEngine.ConfigurationDefinition.  Type A originates from 'Telerik.VSX.WizardEngine, Version=2012.1.214.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0dfdc51bd06071b4' in the context 'LoadFrom' at location 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Telerik\Telerik Web UI VS Extensions\2012.1.214.0\Telerik.VSX.WizardEngine.dll'.  Type B originates from 'Telerik.VSX.WizardEngine, Version=2012.1.320.0 Culture=neutral, PublickKeyToken=0dfdc51bd06071b4' in the context 'LoadFrom' at location 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Telerik\Telerik WinForms VSExtensions\2012.1.320.0\Telerik.VSX.WizardEngine.dll'.

So, what can I do to eliminate this error?

Thanks
Bob

Hello Bob,

I am sorry for the inconvenience.

This problem is observed when more than one VSExtensions packages with different versions are used. The best workaround we found so far was to always keep the VSExtensions the same version. So I would recommend you to follow the steps below:

1. Open Visual Studio 2010 and go to Tools -> Extension Manager...
2. Uninstall all Telerik VSExtensions available in the Installed Extensions section of the Extension Manager. Note that the Visual Studio should be run as administrator.
3. Open VS2010 and go to Tools -> Extension Manager. Go to the Online Gallery and in the Search field in the top right corner type Telerik.
4. Download and install the VSExtensions deleted at step 1.
5. Restart the studio and try again to add RadForm to your project.

I hope this will help.

Kind Regards,
