4.1 SP3 RadControl version
If 4.2 was/is going to be 3-4 weeks late (at least), why didn't we get the updated control suite (2011 Q2) for RadControls and corresponding update for Open Access in this SP3?? I didn't want to wait a month before everything of mine is synced up.
I tried using bindingRedirects for RadControls as well as Open Access (as I have referenced assemblies pointing to the latest versions (2011 Q2) of the control suite), but I am still running into problems. I got past initial errors referencing Telerik.Web.UI and some things with Open Access regarding the assemblies themselves with my bindingRedirects, but the app is crashing immediately now with this error:
variable 'l' of type 'Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Model.UserLink' referenced from scope '', but it is not defined
I can only think this has something to do with Open Access.
My binding redirects look like this:
<runtime> <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="Telerik.Web.UI" publicKeyToken="121fae78165ba3d4" /> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-65000.65000.65000.65000" newVersion="2011.2.712.40" /> </dependentAssembly> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="Telerik.OpenAccess" publicKeyToken="7CE17EEAF1D59342" /> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-65000.65000.65000.65000" newVersion="2011.2.713.3" /> </dependentAssembly> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="Telerik.OpenAccess.35.Extensions" publicKeyToken="7CE17EEAF1D59342" /> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-65000.65000.65000.65000" newVersion="2011.2.713.3" /> </dependentAssembly> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="Telerik.OpenAccess.Runtime" publicKeyToken="7CE17EEAF1D59342" /> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-65000.65000.65000.65000" newVersion="2011.2.713.3" /> </dependentAssembly> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="Telerik.OpenAccess.Web" publicKeyToken="7CE17EEAF1D59342" /> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-65000.65000.65000.65000" newVersion="2011.2.713.3" /> </dependentAssembly> </assemblyBinding></runtime>Hello,
there is another problem if you are working with Sitefinity embedded Telerik RAD User Controls ASP.NET AJAX. - This does not work with the installed Telerik version 2011.1.413.40 any longer ,,,,
,,,, and there is no information which version would be compatible with SF 4.1 SP3. Is Telerik ASP.NET AJAX Tools Q2 2011 now right or not ??? - No information like in former versions release notes for instance 3.7: "RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX version 2010 Q2 SP1" ..... is nobody using these perfect Telerik Rad Controls within Sitefinity?
As always, a lot of promises are coming from Sitefinity, then a lot of delays folowing AND a lot of problems crashing project AND NOT to bring projects running at a higher version. ;-(((

Hi,
The RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax are going to be updated to their latest official release with the upcoming Sitefinity 4.2 release. If you take a look at the the Sitefinity SDK you will see that we distribute the full packages of both the Silverligh and Ajax controls. If you are eager to upgrade the controls before we release the official upgrade (which has been tested for breaking changes in the RadControls to ensure that the UI will be working properly) you can upgrade them as you will in any other ASP.NET web application. You have to perform the binding redirect.
Upgrading OpenAccess however is not recommended. Our assemblies are enhanced with a particular version of the tool and upgrading the OA will mean that you have to reenhance the assemblies.
All the best,

Is there a forum post that goes through the process of upgrading ONLY the Rad controls for Sitefinity 4.x? And an example of the proper way to do the binding redirect?
Thanks,
Tony
Hello Tony,
We do have a KB article which explains how to do the binding redirect. Please note that you must use the versions in your current release.
