I just downloaded a trial version of the non-SharePoint r.a.d. controls and tried to execute them on a SharePoint server. I made sure that the path of the application I was executing was excluded, but when I tried to execute the page I got this message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. and the code pointed to the telerik control. Are there additional security setup steps required for the controls? Are these security steps addressed with the SharePoint specific controls?

Hello Boyd,
Thank you for contacting us.
Could you give us more details on your installation procedure, as well as which control(s) are you trying to install in SharePoint? Most of the controls run fine under SPS, however there is a small trick with the RadControls folder.
At any rate, we will highly suggest using the SharePoint versions of our controls, as they take full advantage of the product and environment. You can find download instructions and further information in the beta Forum here: r.a.d.controls SharePoint Edition beta. Using the regular controls in SPS is not supported and you may get some problems, depending on the product you use.
Let us know if you have other questions.
Best wishes,
Rob

Thanks for the reply. As for installation, I just ran through the installation routine on the machine with the SharePoint installation. I made sure that the ASP.NET application was excluded and that the other applications were working OK. Please let me know what the trick is with the RadControls folder. Also, I need the r.a.d. grid and that doesn't seem to be included with the beta controls.

Hello Boyd,
Some more information will help us understand what is causing the error. Are you creating a web part that contains an instance of r.a.d.grid? If so, make sure the code that instantiates the grid is called before trying to use the instance. Also, test the code with different trust levels if the dll files are not installed in the GAC.
Another possibility is that SharePoint prevents access to the RadControls folder. Use stsadm.exe –addpath to exclude it from the SharePoint managed paths.
Providing exact details about the exception can also prove useful when trying to determine the cause of the problem.
I hope this helps.
