Actually Cathal (or anyone else),

If I build a module using the latest from Telerik and NOT the one shipped with DNN, the dev environment works well, isn't slow, behaves and functions properly. Yet, using what IS shipped with DNN (along with its associated designer.dll) really slows things down. If I change a property in the propertylist, it takes 20-30 seconds to affect the change!

Something isn't right trying to develop using the DNN version of telerik.

Can someone please tell me / show me what is needed to build using the latest from Telerik and put the right entries in the Web.Config file?

Latest Telerik version is 2011.2.712.40 and not sure if the PublicKeyToken stays the same or if it is different, where to find it.

Any help would be great!

Yet more to add...

I decided to not use the Telerik controls directly but use the dnn-wrapped controls, SO...I'll share the experience!

Add a DNNScheduler to the ascx, amended some properties like all StartTimes and EndTimes are set to 06.00 and 24.00 so my "business hours" ought to be displayed thus, right?

Set the standard bound properties, compiled the module and installed into DNN.

The toggle between 24 hours and business hours does not work. The time always starts at 12am and not the property-set time of 6am, regardless of 24-hour or business hour view. The business hours mode shows hours and hours and hours, well over 72hours and not just the hours specified - 6.00 to 24.00. Gridlines don't even show up.

Added an appointment or two to the schedule, added ok, tried editing or deleting, no go. values remain the same, can't delete. Relevant properties allowing actions are all set to true.

Lastlyly before you're all bored to death - the week-view displays the week AHEAD of the current date. If I wan tto see the current week, I need to set "today" to a week ago.

After trying the same with the Telerik controls instead of the dnn-wrapped controls AND getting the same results, I think Telerik dropped the ball on this one. THAT scheduler is unuseable. I have no faith in the rest of the controls as a result...

If anyone is having success with it, please let me know.

I'd really like to use these controls and get on building some new modules!

Lindsay, I use Telerik in many of my modules and I also wrote most of the Telerik wrappers in DNN 6. The wrappers are no different then the Telerik controls you use without DotNetNuke involved, they just have different names (there is absolutely no functionality or bug differences between the two). The design time problem you ran into is not one I have ever attempted to resolve (I don't really use design time in Visual Studio in any project), so I can't help you much there. I also haven't spent much time w/ the scheduler. I can, however, provide you some samples where I have used the core wrappers for multiple Telerik controls in DotNetNuke modules, here are a couple:
For the most part, you can follow the Telerik online demo's. Usually, the core wrappers are just named with a Dnn instead of a Rad. Grid column wrappers have Dnn as a prefix (Telerik just usually starts w/ Grid in these controls). The tabs (from RadTabStrip) is one difference (long story, just be aware).

Chris, THANKS for those samples and the explanation!

I'll jump onto those shortly.

I have found I can ignore design time errors for now.

Will post any other issues OR fixes I might figure out.

thanks again
