[Solved] Using mixed versions of RAD Controls cause any issue?

[Viswanathan]

Hi,

I was using RAD Controls Q3  2007 release version. I was using almost most of the controls such as DatePicker, Textbox, drop down, litsbox, radgrid etc. 

Since the "export to excel" feature of the Q3 2007 release doesn't support "ExcelML" format, i am going to upgrade Q2 2009 release of RAD Grid. Considering the migration time of all the controls to the latest version, i planned to upgrade only the RAD Grid control of the particular page. 

Does that cause any issue now (using mixed versions of RAD Controls in a page/project)?

Please let me know.

Thanks

Viswa

Hi Viswanathan,

Generally, using ASP.NET and ASP.NET AJAX RadControls on the same page should not cause troubles, because these controls use different server and client namespaces. However, exceptions are possible. For example, placing an old and new RadMenu on the same page may cause CSS styles' conflicts, which may require some additional CSS rules to be added as a workaround. (Note that RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX uses internally a RadMenu for ASP.NET AJAX for its filtering menu).

All in all, you should not have troubles. Please refer to:

Hi,

Thanks! I replaced RAD Grid for ASP.NET with RAD Grid for ASP.NET Ajax in a page. But still it is referring to the old script (RadGrid.js) of the grid. How can i explicitly specify the js file for the ASP.Net Ajax RAD Grid?

Thanks

Hello Viswanathan,

The scripts for the new ASP.NET AJAX RadControls are embedded in their assembly and there is no way for RadGrid to register a non-embedded RadGrid.js file. You also don't need to specify anything with regard to Javascript location - all required files are registered automatically.

Can you please explain what do you mean by "it is referring to the old script (RadGrid.js)" - what happens exactly?
