[Solved] Why does upgrading a website using RadEditor require manual entry into the Web.config?

[bemara57]

There is one minor annoyance when upgrading with a website that uses RadEditor. As you know, in the Web.config you have to add an httpHandlers like this:

<add path="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.aspx" verb="*" type="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler, Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2008.1.415.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" validate="false" />

When you swap out the DLL in the bin folder, you have to manually go into the Web.config and update the version in the type section above, or else the RadEditor dialogs fail. I know it's nothing like a functionality issue, but is there a way to upgrade without needing to update the Web.config with the new version info? It's pretty tedious when you have a few websites that need upgrading so you need to go into some page that uses a RadEditor, go to the properties, and enable dialogs so it can update the Web.config with the exact info and version.

Hello,

If your websites have the Telerik.Web.UI.dll in their bin folder, you can simply remove the version information from the Web.config file. This way there will be no required changes when you update the assembly in the bin folder. For example, the line:

<add path="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.aspx" verb="*" type="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler, Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2008.1.415.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" validate="false" />

should become:

<add path="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.aspx" verb="*" type="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler, Telerik.Web.UI, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" validate="false" />
