Hi,

I recently updated Telerik to an internal build I needed to fix a RadGridView crash. The internal build I was given consisted of a .zip file with the .dll's. My initial guess was to first uninstall the current Telerik version, then simply copy the dll's in the PublicAssemblies folder of my VisualStudio installation path.

My problem is that when I open a designer, I get the following message

Visual Studio is attempting to load class isntances from a different assembly than the original used to create your components....

The paths shown in the error point to the ProjectAssemblies folder of my Local Settings path. It seems a temporary folder is created there and the .dll is copied there before opening the designer. I tried closing VS and deleting the temporary folders and their 'dll's, but as soon as I restart VS the folders are recreated, the dll's recopied, and the error occurs anew.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello Guillaume Crétot Richert,

Please add our assemblies to the GAC and remove the old ones beforehand from there(e.g. uninstall the old version of Telerik Controls for WinForms from control panel). You need the assemblies in the GAC for design time.
