Hello Kartheek,

Generally with the release of RadControls Q3 2008 and all future versions we have introduced a change related to the Telerik.Charting assembly that is now IL merged into Telerik.Web.UI assembly -- please review the changes and backwards compatibility guide here.

As for Sharepoint -- please check the Integrating RadControls in SharePoint section in our online help and with the additional info provided in this forum post.

• Deployment (http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/moss-deploying-radcontrols.html)

These two entries must be present in the SafeControl list:

<SafeControl Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2011.1.315.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TypeName="*" Safe="True" SafeAgainstScript="False" />
<SafeControl Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2011.1.315.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" Namespace="Telerik.Charting" TypeName="*" Safe="True" SafeAgainstScript="False" />

Register the Chart http handler in the respective section of the web.config:
IIS6 and above (integrated mode)

<system.webserver>
    ...
    <handlers>

        ...

        <add name="ChartImage.axd_*" path="ChartImage.axd" verb="*" type="Telerik.Web.UI.ChartHttpHandler, Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2011.1.315.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" preCondition="integratedMode" />
    </handlers>
    <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>
</system.webserver>

IIS5.x or IIS 6 and above (classic mode)

<httphandlers>
    <remove verb="*" path="*.asmx" />
    ...

    <add verb="*"path="ChartImage.axd"type="Telerik.Web.UI.ChartHttpHandler, Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2011.1.315.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" validate="false" />
</httphandlers>

• Incorporating the control in your site (http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/moss-incorporate-radcontrols-in-moss-sites.html)

These two register directives must be present on the page that will be displaying the chart control:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="telerik" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2011.1.315.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="telerik" Namespace="Telerik.Charting" Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2011.1.315.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" %>

Note that you need to replace the assembly version numbers in the snippets above with the specific Telerik.Web.UI assembly version you are using in your project.


All the best,
Giuseppe
