Started Q1 Installation but noticed something odd!

[Ben Hayat]

To Install team;

I began the installation but I noticed something odd on the list of controls to be installed and their requirements. It seems like for the demos to work you have to have the older version of WCF RIA for VS2008/.Net 3.5 on your machine. But once you go to VS10 you have to go to the new version of WCF RIA RC1 to be able to use it.

I'll wait to install until I hear from the team if the SP1 is still based on the older WCF RIA or the RC1 version for VS2010?

I'm attaching Screen shot.
Thanks!

Ok, I've confirmed with Product manager and he said to go ahead and install the controls!

There are 2 versions that can be downloaded one targeting Silverlight 4 and the other targeting Silverlight 3...
RadControls_for_Silverlight_4_2010_1_0422_DEV.msi
RadControls_for_Silverlight_3_2010_1_0422_DEV.msi

Accidentally downloaded the RadCotrols_for_Silverlight_3 first and quickly went back and checked for the version for silverlight 4.

[Ben Hayat]

Ah great point. What happened was, when I went to my account and saw the new date, I clicked on "RadControls for Silverlight", which actually downloaded the Silverlight 3 version. But now that you pointed out (thank you) I need to go one link below and then choose "Silverlight 4 - Automatic installation".
Good thing I didn't install it. I hope others don't make the same mistake.

Thanks Manely!

I just finished installing the SP1 for SL4 and tried to launch the demo from the program menu but get the following error:

Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Ria, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. (C:\Program Files\Telerik\RadControls for Silverlight Q1 2010 SP1\Demos\ExamplesWeb\web.config line 73)

I got the latest on SL4 and ria services but I keep getting the same error.

 

Any thoughts?

Steven, you need to do a few things:

a) Be sure to do a "Clean" for the entire solution.
b) Go to the Web project and go to properties and change the .Net Framework from 3.5 to 4.0.
c) You need to close solution and restart again. This will allow you to reference libraries of 4.0 where RIA is.
d) Go to Reference Library and remove the broken references.
e) add System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.Hosting
f) add System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.Server

Then do a full build and hopefully this will solve it.

Thanks for the reply :)

Seems odd you have to rebuild a demo that is supplied by a company but on the other hand, it's not that hard to do.

Cheers~!

When you rebuild, the JITER creates a new binary code based on your cpu setting of your machine which might be higher than the previous one. When I get any sample code, I always do a Clean/Build to make I have a new binary for my Quad core machine :-)
