using visual studio 2012 professional update 2 and Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX VSExtensions Package v2013.1.219.
I created a RadControls application and in the wizard, i set the default skin to Office2010Blue. i got the Telerik.Web.UI.Skins assembly automatically referenced. Whenever i use a telerik control, i cannot set any skin other than the default in the designer, if i open the drop down to select one i get a message that says : " No skins assembly found. To use the built-in skins, please add a reference to Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.dll or copy it to the Bin folder of your application and reload the solution in visual studio.

please advise

Hi ck,

Can you check to see if the Telerik skins is added to your project as a reference? It should be there called Telerik.Web.UI.Skins. This seems to be a recurring problem with a small percentage of users. Most were able to solve the issue by uninstalling & reinstalling RadControls for AJAX. Give it a try and see if this solves your problem. http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/general-discussions/no-skin-assembly-found.aspx

Hopefully this helps,

as i mentioned the reference to the dll is automatically added when i create the project. I'll give it a try but i doubt it'd work.
