Folks,
Using Windows 10 with VS 2017 and Progress® Telerik® UI for ASP.NET AJAX (Version 2018.1.117.45).
Each time I download a new updates, I get attached error message.
Is taking about 2-3 days to research to find out the root cause of this error.
I manually added Telerik.Web.UI.dll and Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.dll in Bin Folder of my project. Also copied both files into C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies folder. Still no luck.
Telerik please give us a solution what can be done. 2-3 days time is not acceptable to senior management of our organization.
Thanks

The Telerik.Web.Design.dll assembly is no longer added to the GAC by the automated installer and this causes the design-time error if you upgrade via the Upgrade Wizard and your project did not have an explicit reference to the Telerik.Web.Design.dll file in the project folder. You can read more in this section of the documentation: Error Creating Control Failed To Create Designer after upgrade to R1 2018.
You can download the hotfix archive from your Telerik.com account, so you can easily copy the Telerik.Web.Design.dll assembly to your target location.

I am following up with good news that the "Error creating control Failed to create designer" issue is already fixed in version 2018.1.215.2 of Telerik ASP.NET AJAX VSExtensions
From the Release notes -> Telerik.Web.Design.dll is not added to the Bin folder of a newly created Telerik AJAX site/app.
To fix the problem:
- Download the latest Telerik ASP.NET AJAX VSExtensions installation from the VS Marketplace, install it and restart your Visual Studio.
- Or wait for the next official R2 2018 release of Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX, to be out in May.
- The already provided solution for manual registration of the Telerik.Web.Design.dll in the Bin folder of the app is still applicable.

Okay,
I'm trying to open an older VS ASP.NET project, that builds and runs perfectly in debug mode.
My contract has ran out, but i have no idea how to fix this,
Help? :)
If the project uses an older version of Telerik than the one with the fix, solution would be to register the Assembly in the GAC manually as explained by Rumen, in his earlier thread in February 22nd, 2018.
To find out more about GAC and andding assemblies to it, please check out the What is the GAC and Add, Remove and View Assemblies in the GAC articles.

Hi Attilla,
Actually i solved it myself.... i was wondering why i could debug and deploy without problems, but not change anything.
It turns out that i was missing a reference to Telerik.Web.Design that does not get set by (re)installing of version 2018.1.117.45
Hope this post helps some other poor beginner like me.
grtz,
Theo :)
I am glad the issue has been sorted out!
Also, thank you very much for sharing your findings with the community. I am sure it will be helpful!
Happy holidays!
Kind regards,

I have copied all this stuff mentioned above to the bin directory and I still get this message about not being able to create the designer. It is amazing that this ascx with a datasource and a single telelerik radpanelbar
will not load. I am using release 2021.119.45.
Please help.
Here is the ascx:
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="~/App_Code/DocumentTypePanelBar1.ascx.cs" Inherits="DocViewer.App_Code.DocumentTypePanelBar1" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="telerik" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" %>
<div>
<asp:XmlDataSource ID="XmlDataSource1" runat="server" DataFile="~/App_Data/MenuItems.xml" XPath="/Items/Item"></asp:XmlDataSource>
<telerik:RadPanelBar ID="RadPanelBar1" Runat="server" DataSourceID="XmlDataSource1" DataTextField="Text" DataValueField="-" DataModelID="Url"></telerik:RadPanelBar>
</div>
Here is the code-behind:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using Telerik.Web.UI;
using Telerik.Web.Design;
namespace DocViewer.App_Code
{
public partial class DocumentTypePanelBar1 : UserControl
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
}
}
Here is the designer:
// <auto-generated>
// This code was generated by a tool.
//
// Changes to this file may cause incorrect behavior and will be lost if
// the code is regenerated.
// </auto-generated>
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
namespace DocViewer.App_Code {
public partial class DocumentTypePanelBar1 {
/// <summary>
/// XmlDataSource1 control.
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// Auto-generated field.
/// To modify move field declaration from designer file to code-behind file.
/// </remarks>
protected global::System.Web.UI.WebControls.XmlDataSource XmlDataSource1;
/// <summary>

/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// Auto-generated field.
/// To modify move field declaration from designer file to code-behind file.
/// </remarks>
protected global::Telerik.Web.UI.RadPanelBar RadPanelBar1;
}
}
and here is the xml that is supposed to build the menu

OK well stupidly put the control code in a .NET reserved subfolder, sorted that, and lo and behold, my xml file had a typo in the very first tag. I believe the problem has now been resolved exactly as suggested, but this has been a recurring problem. The designer error was ,it would now appear, actually due in part to the mal-formed XML menu items input to the RadPanelBar but it complained in an unhelpful VS exception.
Thank yu.
Hi Allen,
I am happy to hear you've managed to resolve the problem.
For the rest of the readers I would like to highlight that the error concerning the Desigjner can occur due to the missing assembly/reference to Telerik.Web.UI.Design.dll.
Folow Rumen's post to troubleshoot the issue: https://www.telerik.com/forums/telerik-designer-error-creating-control-1c25e81bdea2#u9kqq-PSvESRXsWw6WAcKw
You might as well restart Visal Studio and/or the PC, then try again.
If the issue does not resolv by referencing the correct Assembly, try clearing the Visual Studio Cache folder, see How to clear visual studio cache.
Step 1: clear the Component Cache
- Close Visual Studio (ensure devenv.exe is not present in the Task Manager)
- Delete the %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ComponentModelCache directory
- Restart Visual Studio.
Step 2: cleanup your user’s temp folder
- Delete the %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp directory.
If all the above fails. you can try the hard route.
Step 3: delete the contents from the following folders
- %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation
- %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio
- %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VSCommon
