Hello,

My company has just purchased the Telerik Radcontrols for asp.net ajax.

We are currently at DNN version 6.1.1.

In order to use the new DLL's within DotNetNuke; this is what I did:

Changed the web.config:

from:

<bindingRedirect oldVersion="2008.0.0.0-2020.0.0.0" newVersion="2011.2.915.35" />

to:

<bindingRedirect oldVersion="2008.0.0.0-2020.0.0.0" newVersion="2012.1.215.40" />

installed the module(from Telerik Web Site):

Telerik.Web.UI_2012_1_215_DNN.zip

Then I copied the new dll(2012.1.215.40) into the DNN bin folder.

My first question: is there anything I missed from procedure above?

Second Question: The file manager does not work now - but everything else seems to work.  Is it because of the dll version?  

Third Question: Is there even a need to upgrade the DLL version? Besides the fact that the Telerik DLL in DNN is .net 3.5?

Hello, whilst dotnetnuke ships with telerik it's important to note that it is a version that does not support design time controls (which is very handy if you are developing a new page which uses telerik controls). In addition DotNetNuke's version only allows you to work with the wrappers and not direct telerik - if you want to do so then you need to update the telerik.web.ui.dll (and supply it's licence file dll). However all of this should just work as long as the version of telerik you deploy is equal to or greater than the current dll and as long as you update the bindingRedirect accordingly. It seems you've done both of those steps (though you didnt mention if you deployed the licence file) so this should work as expected - please check admin->event viewer to see if any unexpected exceptions are logged when using the file manager.
