I am trying to do the source build and am having project reference problems that seem to DLLs in the GAC.
I have Windows 7 and VS Studio 2008 SP1
Under the different project references, the following were not found and appear to be in the GAC

System.Core
System.Data.DataSetExtensions
System.Data.Linq
System.Runtime.Serialization
System.ServiceModel.Web
System.Web.Extensions
System.Xml.Linq

When I find these in the GAC, they are grayed out and I cannot select them.

Looking for how to fix this.

Hello Carl,

Actually, this is normal; we consider this more like VS issue (see the attached screenshot). Still, you should be able to build the source code. If not, please provide more detaisl on the exact problem(s) you have.

Best wishes,

Thanks for the reply. It got me thinking about what framework that I was referencing for the project properties. Sure enough I was pointing to 2.0 rather than 3.5. Pointing to .NET Framework 3.5 fixed the problem and the code builds just fine.

Also just wanted to say how much I like your product. It is very well done.

I do have a suggestion for Telerik concerning documenting the Client API. It would be nice if all the controls had a more consistent Client Side API documention.

For example, under RadEditor we have:

RadEditor
    Client Side API Reference
        Methods
        Events

Where for RadComboBox we have:

RadComboBox
    Client Side Programming
        RadComboBox object
        RadComboBoxItem
        Client Side Events

A possible alternative for RadComboBox could be:
RadComboBox
    Client Side API Reference
        RadComboBox Methods
        RadComboBoxItem Methods
        Client Side Events
or
RadComboBox
    Client Side API Reference
        Methods (both combo box and combo box item methods but denoted as such )
        Events
The basic idea is to keep the help heirarchy as consistent as possible so that we always go to the same place for the same type of information.

Also it would be nice if all the controls had a visible and display property that behave like the CSS counterparts.

It looks like if I want to hide a combo box like css display:none does, that I have to wrap it in some kind of inline or block HTML element and then invoke the css display attribute for that elementary HTML element. Maybe it is there and I missed it, but it is easy enough anway to just wrap it and work with whatever it is wrapped with.

In closing, thanks for the help and this is a world class library.

Best regards,
Carl

It seems like all the controls could benefit by being organized similarily.
