RadNumericTextBox Parser Error Message: Cannot create an object of type 'System.Type' from its string representation 'System.Decimal' for the 'DataType' property.

[Imran]

Hello

With the latest internal build my Windows 2008 Server Machine is displaying following error. Surprisingly the error does not show on my development machine Windows 7 with VS 2010 Pro Beta 2. This error did not show up with the internal build before the latest one, it did show up with the 2010 Q1 though. I am not sure what is going on here. I did not want to downgrade to previous internal build because that causes RadCombo to have 2 drop down arrows instead of one as I noticed on one other forum posting as well. Which has been fixed in this build.

Here is an overall view.

2010-1-309 Both Server and Development Machines Show Error, RadCombo has 2 drop down arrows problem
2010-1-316 No error on either machine, RadCombo has 2 drop down arrows problem
2010-1-325 Error on Server but not on Development Machine, RadCombo problem fixed

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Imran

Hello Imran,

This error can occur if you are using a version of the Telerik.Web.Design.dll different from the version of the Telerik.Web.UI.dll. Please ensure you have updated all assemblies and let us know if that resolves the issue.
