 Hi , 
    Some of my development crew is using vwd2005 and the others are using visual studio 2008.
   We are learning how to use the rad controls.
   We have the v2.0 telerik.web.ui.dll in our v2.0 GAC. When we try to run visual studio 2008 rad control code, we run into issues where the compilation sees the v2.0 GAC, and, it see's our v3.5 telerik.web.ui.dll as well, so, it gives errors about two of the same controls exists.
  My questions are -
1)    In a development environment where you are using vwd2005 and visual studio 2008, is it more convienient to just include the appropriate version telerik.web.ui.dll in the appropriate version's bin ?
2)  How do we get the strong name of the v3.5 dll to put in our web.config (no gauctil for vs2008 - havnt tried using the the utility with a path to the v3.5, but will), and will this fix the problem ? Or will it always default to the v2.0 GAC ?
3) Is there a GAC for the v3.5 and how do you tell vs2008 to use it ?

thanks for your time

Hi David ,

Straight onto your questions:

  1. Indeed one possible option might be to put the .NET 2.x and NET 3.x of Telerik.Web.UI.dll in the /bin folder of your web site and remove the corresponding assemblies from the GAC
  2. If you specify the fully qualified name of the Telerik.Web.UI assembly either through the web.config file or directly through the @Page directive on the page which utilize our controls, this should be sufficient to recognize the proper version of the dll and prevent version conflicts. Review the following online resources for more details:

    http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/installaddtoglobalassemblycache.html
  3. The previously references articles answer this question as well.
