I upgraded RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX from Q3 2008 to Q1 2009 and started having design time error message "Error Creating Control - xxxxx ... Could not load file or assembly 'Telerik.Web.UI, version=2009.1.527.35,,,," I upgraded my Visual Studio from a professional Edition to the latest (Jan 31, 2009) 2008 Developer Edition. It worked for a few days and then I started getting the error again. I tried folowing one of the recommended suggestions below w/ no success.
1. Install SP1 of Visual Studio 2008 (Didn't work)
2. Bin-deploy the design-time assembly (Cannot remove the GAC dll. says: Assembly 'Telerik.Web.Design' could not be uninstalled because it is required by other applications)
* Add a reference to Telerik.Web.Design.dll to your web site or application
* Remove Telerik.Web.Design.dll from the GAC
* Restart Visual Studio
3. GAC-deploy the control library assembly (Not an option)
* Add Telerik.Web.UI.dll in the GAC
* Remove Telerik.Web.UI.dll from your bin folder
* Restart Visual Studio
Please help. I already waisted 2 days on this and the best thing I can find are the suggestions above.
