- Install the Telerik controls in the Toolbox so I can use them with a New Project.
- Load my existing app into VS2012 and rest assured that the Telerik controls (ie. Treeview, Slider, ListBox, etc.) will just work.
- Install and use JustCode, if possible.
#1 & #2 are absolute requirements. #3 is optional
Further to #1, I right-clicked in the Toolbox area of the VS2012 IDE and chose "Choose Items". On the ".NET Framework Components" tab of the dialog box I chose Browse. I navigated here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q3 2012\Bin45
Three files appeared:
- Telerik.Web.Design.dll
- Telerik.Web.UI.dll
- Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.dll
I tried clicking on the first two. It said "Loading the selected file(s)" Then later, when I pressed OK this message appeared: "The following controls were successfully added to the toolbox but are not enabled in the active designer:" After that, no Telerik tools appeared in the Toolbox.
While I had hoped I could save the cost of buying VS2012 Professional, this is not a very good start. Time is Money.
I would like a definitive answer from Telerik Support to my 3 questions above. Can I do all of that with the Express version of VS2012: Yes or No?
