[Solved] RadSchedulerConfigurationSection and GAC reference

[Chris]

Hi, I am implimenting a multivalued resouce custom db provider base on your sample. The thing I have noticed is that I have to hvae the Telerik.Web.UI dll in the sites Bin directory for the config section in the web config file to work. All of the other components in the prject are happy with the GAC reference. 

This is the section that thorw an exception if the dll is not in the bin dir.

<sectionGroup name="telerik.web.ui">

<section name="radScheduler" type="Telerik.Web.UI.RadSchedulerConfigurationSection, Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2009.1.311.20, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" requirePermission="false"/>

</sectionGroup>

The dll is also referenced in the asseblies section of the web.config file. see below for the asp exception data. you can recreate the error in your sample that was posted to this thread by just excluding the dll from the project, and making sure that it is in the GAC.

HI,

       its OK i have found the problem. The reference in the sectionGroup  was missing the culture=nuetral section of tthe fully qualified  assembly name. Added that and all is working. Might be worth updating the documentation to make a point of this as if the dll is only in the GAC then  you need to be fully qualified to get the right reference.

By the way - thanks for such an amzing set of components and tools, they are the best out there.

Thanks

Chris
