Hi Vinny,

This is odd -- we are still unable to reproduce the problem with the latest version of the controls neither with a default installation (that puts the Telerik.Charting.dll in the GAC), nor with a clean machine that does not have the Prometheus controls installed (no Telerik.Charting.dll in the GAC). We will continue our research on this one -- hopefully it is not a major inconvenience for you to include the charting in your /bin folder (you can try install it in the GAC if you have not done so so far to see whether there is any difference).

All the best,
Manuel

I'm having the same problem - except adding the Charting dll and xml files to the Bin folder doesn't seem to help. IntelliSense still won't work - and VS2008 doesn't recognize any of the telerik tags.

I've tried registering the tag prefix at the top of the page and in the web.config (where, for my project, I'd prefer to have it) but neither works.

I've tried it on three Vista PCs to no avail. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the application and its files being stored on a server (which we open in VS2008 using a mapped network drive, not a local drive). I tried running the EXE installation on the server as well just in case, but it didn't help.

I remember a similar problem with ASP.NET "Atlas" before they released it as ASP.NET AJAX (back when we used VS2005), but I don't know what the ASP.NET team did to fix the problem... (for my part, I just waited for the updated dll!)

Any ideas? I'd love to get started with the controls but really need them to be properly recognized in VS. (They work fine at runtime btw, and render in my browser perfectly. They also work fine in the design view of VS).

Thanks! Jake.

Hi Jake,

You can try the suggestions in this forum:
http://forums.asp.net/thread/1350141.aspx

Basically, the easiest solution should be to open the site with UNC, for example:
\\server\path

If this is not applicable, the process is a bit more complicated:
1/
You must be using Front Page Server Extensions 2002. Once you have this configured, and you can connect to your site on your local server - you Intellisense should start working.

2/
If your server is configured similar to mine as above, you'll find that debugging breaks. This is due to a problem with CNAMES / Alias's - and is easily resolved by making a minor registry change on your development server as in this post: http://forums.asp.net/thread/942444.aspx

Hope this helps you to resolve this problem.

Greetings,
Bart.

Hi Bart & Vinny -

Thanks so much for your replies.

Bart - Great suggestion... I gave the first idea a go (using unc path) and had no luck :( VS still doesn't recognize the telerik tags. Unfortunately I can't try the second idea, because we're not allowed to install FrontPage extensions on our server ("because they're discontinued")...

Vinny - did you just add the Charting dll and xml files to your Bin folder, or did you also add a reference to charting in your web.config. I'm not really sure how different DNN development is from a regular asp.net web app... but did you also do anything with the GAC? I notice that Charting is already in my GAC...

Thanks again,

Jake.

BTW - not sure if this is relevant, but I can't run the "Examples" web site that is installed by the exe installation. I get the following error... is this just a 3.5 vs 2.0 thing? Or is this indicative of my greater problem?! (Although, as I've said, the controls actually do work in my web app, it's only IntelliSense that doesn't work...)

Server Error in '/RadControls_Prometheus' Application.

In theory DNN development is no different than ASP.NET development. DNN is an application framework that you can leverage as a 'foundation' for your own custom applications.

All I did was add the charting files into the bin folder. I was looking at all the components in the .NET 3.5 bin folder of the examples project and added all the telerik dll's and xml files into my bin folder that weren't there. Since intellisense worked in the sample project I figured there has to be something in the configuration that was causing intellisense to work in one and not the other. I eventually narrowed it down to the charting files.

The .NET 3.5 version of System.Web.Extensions is below. This is usually upgraded when you first open a 2.0 project in VS 2008 and accept the upgrade to 3.5.

"System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"

I also experience problems with IntelliSense and this was just appearing from nowhere ( I thought ), actually I think I can recall when it appeared since I have found how to get the IntelliSense back, but I dont like the workaround I had to do.

It most likely started when I changed my web.config file to use <trust level="Medium" />, when trust is set to Medium I do not have IntelliSense in any aspx file, but in the code-behind it works fine and I do not get any errors when running the application. If I remove <trust level="Medium" /> from the web.config I get IntelliSense back. This is though not a solution for me since my ISP is only supporting Medium trust and I want to develop under medium trust to not get any big suprises when deploying into production.

I have sent a support ticket to Telerik today and waiting for answer from them.
