After update the Copy Local is set to False

Since version 2014.1.226 when adding a Telerik item template (e.g. RadForm) inside a project folder, VS extensions crash with the following error:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Upgrade utility miss to change the TelerikData.dll reference. In result, the reference remains pointing to older version of that assembly, which could lead to unexpected exceptions.

Resolution: The issue is no longer reproduced. In Q3 2011 we introduced Upgrade Wizard which replace the Update Utility. 

VS 2022 17.5.1 successfully converts a blank WinForms project without any Telerik control in it.

VS 2022 17.6.2  hangs:

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen

Currently I am trying in vain to upgrade to the latest version Telerik UI for WinForms 2022.1.118.
However, the update fails with the error given below.

I have already uninstalled and reinstalled VS2019. Unfortunately this did not help.

Can you help?

Best Timo

To reproduce: please refer to the attached sample video

1. Uninstall the already existing version of the Telerik UI for WinForms suite. Ensure that you don't have any installation and the Telerik menu is not visible in Visual Studio.
2. Open Visual Studio >> Tools >> Extensions and Update and search for Telerik WinForms VSExtensions. Install it.
3. After restarting Visual Studio, create a new Telerik project. You may be prompt to download the latest version during the creation process. 
4. Run the Toolbox configurator in order to obtain the proper version in the toolbox.
5. After the project is created, open the form's designer and drag a Telerik control from the toolbox and drop it onto the form. Open the Designer.cs and you will notice that control's declaration is inside the InitializeComponent method, not outside as expected.

The issue is not reproducible each time you follow the steps. It was reproduced with Visual Stidio 2012 on Windows 10. 

Workaround:

Download the Telerik UI for WinForms msi from your account and install the suite.

Hello,

 

I am using my own nuget server to deploy the Telerik Packages.

So I downloaded the file"Telerik_UI_For_WinForms_2020_3_915_Nuget_Dev.zip"

Unfortunately, the contained file "UI.for.WinForms.GridView.2020.3.915.nupkg" is broken:

For any reason, in the subfolder "lib\net40\" there are three different TelerikData.dll and TelerikData.XML files. When importing in our Nuget server, this leads to an error

Error: An exception occurred while rebuilding the package store: System.ArgumentException: Das Element wurde bereits hinzugefügt. Schlüssel im Wörterbuch: "lib/net40/TelerikData.dll". Hinzuzufügender Schlüssel: "lib/net40/TelerikData.dll".

Could you please fix your build-and-deploy process and re-upload the package?

 

Best regards

Telerik VS extensions may cause performance issues that impact both the responsiveness and the overall performance of Visual Studio.

1. Extract in some folder the dev version dlls.
2. Open the Bin40 folder.
3. Try to start VisualStyleBuilder or ThemeViewer tool.

To reproduce: - build a sample porject and sign it; - build the dlls from the source code using the OEMKEY approach, specifying the public token for the certain application; - use these dlls in the purposed application; - after withing more than 10 attempts, the evaluation copy message appears;

The strings in the Project Update Utility form are white on a white background, so they are invisible for the user.

We just upgraded our WinForm UI from Q3 2013 to Q2 2014 and we started getting a "An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeinitializationException' occurred in unknown module" before our 'Main' method is ever hit in Program.cs. This didn't occur when we referenced the Q3 2013 assemblies. I've attached the error and our reference list from Solution Explorer in VS 2013 Update 2.

 To reproduce: 
 1. Download the Telerik_UI_For_WinForms_2014_3_14_1202_Dev_NuGet.zip and extract on computer
 2. Create a project which contains RadPdfViewer and RadPdfViewerNavigator
 3. Install all nuget packages
 4. You will see that the Telerik.WinControls.PdfViewer.dll is not installed because is not included in the package.

Workaround: 
Download the zip file with Dlls and themes only (Telerik_UI_For_WinForms_2014_3_14_1202_Dev_hotfix.zip) from your account.

Resolution: 

The new nugget package is added in our suite. Its name is UI.for.WinForms.PdfViewer.[Version].nupkg. 

I have updated my OS to Win 10 from Win 8.1 and now none of the RadForms will open in VS 2015 Designer. Some esoteric error message: "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: instance" is displayed. Is there something I could do other than re-installing the entire Telerik product line?

hi,

when upgrading from telerik winforms r3 sp1 2018 to r1 2019 using vb.net 2012 i received an error

what is we have to do

regards

Theme Names aren't sorted in the Properties window of VS2019

I upgraded to latest version of Win UI controls, and opened a project for an Outlook COM Addin. There has been no problems upgrading Telerik controls in that project until now. It's a Class Library project with Telerik forms in it. Now I have to change project type to Windows Forms, upgrade Telerik and then back to Class Library. Silly really... :)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install R1 2021 SP1 (2021.1.204)
2. Create a Telerik WinForms project and drag a RadTostNotificationManager from the Toolbox and drop it onto the form. The following two references are required for using RadToastNotification:

   

   

   The important information here is the version of the Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.Notifications: 6.1.0.0

   

3. Run the Upgrade Wizard and upgrade to R2 2021 (2021.2.511):

After the upgrade process is successfully completed, you can see that the Toolbox version is successfully updated as well as the Telerik references in the project:

However, the version of the Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.Notifications still remains 6.1.0.0 even though in the installation folder we distribute the updated version 7.0.0.0:

Then, if you try to build the project, you will see the following error message:

Workaround: Remove the existing Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.Notifications assembly and add it anew using the references from the installation folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\Telerik UI for WinForms R2 2021\Bin40 It is expected to be the correct version 7.0.0.0.  

 

 

Below is the error.  I had removed all the references and was trying to add them back through the configure project extension vs 2019 and vs 2022 threw the same error. 

 

An error occurred while running the wizard.

Error executing custom action Telerik.WinControls.VSX.Actions.UpdateReferencesAction: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): This reference cannot be removed from the project because it is always referenced by the compiler.
