using vwd2008, radchart not working after updating web.config file etc.

[dude]

hi all,

inherited web project, given telerik bundle to work with.  everything works until using radchart.  i get this message:

"The Chart http handler is not registered. Please, manually add the following line to your Web.config httpHandlers section:
<add path="ChartImage.axd" verb="*" type="Telerik.Web.UI.ChartHttpHandler, Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2008.1.515.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" validate="false" />"


So i went and updated the web.config file where it told me to, but i get a blue underline on the word "add" in at the front of the tag <add....  .
I also get this runtime parser error:
"Parser Error Message: Unrecognized configuration section system.web/add."

Any suggestions?  Many thanks in advance. :)

Hello,

This line should be added to httpHandlers section of your web.config file. It should look like this:

<configuration>
    ........
    <system.web>
            .......
                <httpHandlers>
                  .........
                      <add path="ChartImage.axd" verb="*" type="Telerik.Web.UI.ChartHttpHandler, Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2008.1.515.20, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" validate="false" />
            </httpHandlers>

Hope this helps.

er...no.  like i said, i updated the web.config file with the stated paste in your post and it didn't work.  any other suggestions?

Hi,

This error message means that the <add path.....> tag is placed directly in <system.web> and not in the httpHandlers section, i.e. the file is structured like this:
<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <add path=........../>
        <httpHandlers>
        </httpHandlers>

And it should be like this:
<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <httpHandlers>
            <add path=........../>
        </httpHandlers>
