Hi!

I sometimes need to debug the Telerik-code, to see what I am doing wrong. At the moment, the process of switching from the Release build (downloaded) to the Debug build (built on my machine from the source) is rather awkward.
I need to manually change all the version/public key tokens in config-files, aspx-files, etc, as well as making sure I have the debug version in the GAC.

It would really help if Telerik could ship the debug versions, signed with the same key. This way, all we would have to do to would be to change the dll in the GAC the debug version.

Or has anyone else come up with a good solution for this? I've tried assembly redirect, but that only works if the DLL is signed with the same key.

Thanks!
/Fredrik

Hi Fredrik,

We currently don't have plans to ship a debug version of Telerik.Web.UI.dll. If this becomes a common request we may reconsider.

At the time being you can perhaps use the <pages><controls> tag to register the telerik tagprefix and assembly:

<pages>
    <controls>
        <add tagPrefix="telerik" namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" assembly="Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2008.1.619.2, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4"/>
    </controls>
</pages>

This would allow you to modify your project only at one place when you change the release with the debug version.
