[Solved] Replace 1.2 version with 2.0

[Casper de Lange]

First: I really like the new editor, especially the way it replaces the standard rich text boxes in lists etc.!

The problem is that when I install the new version, all my webparts of the old version get corrupt and I have to replace all of them on my portal and all teamsites.

Do you have a solution for this issue? If the editor is not backward compatible I will not be able to use it, which is a shame.

Hi Casper,

Indeed upgrading r.a.d.editor sharepoint edition is not as straightforward as we would like it to be. The good news is that it is possible after all to migrate your existing 1.x webparts to 2.x. This is described in our manual online here.

Here is in short what you need to do in order to upgrade:

1. Uninstall the old version - stsadm -o deletewppack -name RadWebParts.cab
2. Install the new version
3. Open the web.config of your sharepoint site (e.g. c:\inetpub\wwwroot\web.config)
4. Paste the following line before the end of the <SafeControls> tag:
   <SafeControl Assembly="RadWebParts, Version=1.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1f131a624888eeed" Namespace="Telerik.WebParts" TypeName="*" Safe="True" />
5. Paste the following right above the <SharePoint> tag:
   <runtime>
       <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
         <dependentAssembly>
           <assemblyIdentity name="RadWebParts" publicKeyToken="1f131a624888eeed" culture="neutral" />
           <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-1.2.0.0" newVersion="2.0.0.0" />
         </dependentAssembly>
       </assemblyBinding>
    </runtime>
6. Run iisreset.exe

All this should upgrade your existing webparts to 2.0.
