New install of Rad Controls 2009.3 .net 3.5 only for Visual studio 2008 v9.0.21022.8 RTM; .net framework 3.5 sp1
Help/about installed packages only inculdes Telerik OpenAccess 2009.3.1104.2 and Telerik Web VSPackage 1.0
When I go to toolbox / choose items, the Telerik tools are all there and checked.

Problem:

None of the rad controls is showing up in the toolbox for any of my projects.
The menu item Telelrik. Radcontrols for asp .net ajax - the whole sub menu is disabled.

I can go into the code and type <telerik:  and the autocomplete is showing the rad controls.
If I put a control in via the code: 
        it will render in the browser
        It will not render in the designer - I get an error that it can't find Telerik.Web.UI even though it's in the project bin folder
Trying to add a refernce, Telerik.web.UI is not in the list - Telerik.OpenAccess and Telerik.Reporting are there.

Hello Bill,

Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET are added automatically to the Visual Studio .NET 2008 Toolbox during installation when using .NET 3.5. However if you are using the ZIP distribution or EXE installation (when using .NET 3.0 or .NET 2.0 with Visual Studio 2008), you can do this manually as described below.

To add Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX to the Toolbox manually and to be able to easily deploy the components in your WebForms in Design mode, follow the steps below:

  1. Open your application in Visual Studio 2008.
  2. Expand the Toolbox.
  3. Expand the General Section.

  4. Right-click in the General section and open Choose Items.

  5. On the .NET Framework Components tab, click Browse.

  6. Browse to the Telerik RadControls installation folder, open the bin35 folder and select the Telerik.Web.UI.dll

You can find more detailed artoce along with some screenshots below:

I used the installer - and they did NOT show up in the toolbox.

When I try to add them, telerik.web.ui is already in the .net list and all of the controls are checked.

Lost patience with the problem...

I uninstalled all of the telerik tools, .net, SDK, Visual studio, silverlight SDK then re-installed everything.

It's working now.

Hello Bill,

I am not sure why the controls appeared so many times in the toolbox since you say that you have uninstall all and then install it again without additionally manually adding them. However, what I can suggest is to delete the unnecessary items from the toolbox manually. If the three copies of the controls are in three sepaarte tabs you can do this by right click on teh tab and select "Delete Tab". If you want to delete them separately, you can right click the particular control and choose "Delete". Anothetr otion is to delete all of them and add them manually only once.

Let us know whether the above suggestions worked for you.

Sincerely yours,
Svetlina

Hi Bill,

In this case please try one of the following:

1) Remove the whole tab and add them only once as suggested before
2) Remove the unneeccessary items one by one manually as also suggested in the previous reply.

All the best,
Svetlina
