Hi
I have been working with Telerik for awhile now in my Web Projects and have had no issues. Recently, we have been attempting to take use of the GAC in our Servers to stop duplicating deployment of our dll files. ie(Telerik.Web.UI.dll) I opened (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Microsoft .NET 2.0 Configuration) Then I expanded MyComputer from this tool and selected Assembly Cache. I right clicked and selected "Add". I then browsed to [ C:\Program Files\Telerik\RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q3 2010\Bin35\Telerik.Web.UI.dll ], which is the dll I am experimenting with using in the GAC system. It then added it to the Assembly Cache List as Telerik.Web.Ui   with Version 2010.3.1317.35 and a public key. It appears to be all in there properly. I did the same with the Telerik.Web.Design.dll as well.

I have done this on both the Deployed Dev Server and my local machine for development.

Next I removed my Reference to the Telerik stuff in my bin folder and have tried pointing it to the Visual Studios10 folder where it is stored in public assemblies with the Correct Version. I have also tried pointing it to the Telerik folder as listed above and finally I have tried pointing it through to the Microsoft_MSIL\Telerik referencing the GAC as well. Regardless of where I point it, if I turn off make local copy and remove it from the dll from my bin folder, nothing will build anymore. I keep getting Telerik.Web.UI reference is incorrect or not found type of errors. I have tried adding an

<compilation debug="true" defaultLanguage="vb" strict="false" explicit="true">
      <assemblies>
            <add assembly="Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2010.3.1317.35, Culture=netrual, PublicKeyToken=121gae78165ba3d4" />

in the web.config file.

I also have the

    </handlers>
)

Then at the top of any page using Telerik stuff has the reference tag:

<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>

Sorry to overload with information, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Why is it requiring me to have the 2010.3.1317.35 version of Telerik.Web.UI in my bin folder when it is already in the GAC on my local machine and the Server that it is going to deploy to. Not to mention I reference it from my local machine without local copy so it shouldn't matter if it is in GAC on local machine anyways. However, that is where the problem starts is the second I remove it from the bin folder on my local machine OR the server where it deploys.

HELP PLEASE!

Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me solve this issue.

Hi Sam,

When referencing from GAC, you should use the fully qualified name of your assembly.
In the top of your page, instead of:

<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>

Use:

<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2010.3.1317.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>

And if you want to register the controls for all pages in your project you have to add the following code in your web.config:

<controls>

<add tagPrefix="telerik" namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" assembly="Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2010.3.1317.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" />

</controls>
