Cannot use GridControl

[Nimrod Shaulski]

Hi,

I am fairly new to SyncFusion controls but I got into a nasty bug which prevents me from using this control entirely!

When trying to add the SyncFusion GridControl into any form or panel in my designer I get the following Exception (attached): System.InvalidCastException etc.

I'm working with .NET 4.0, VS2010 and Essential Studio 10.1.0.44.

Any help will be much appreciated!

Thanks,

  Nimrod

If the toolbox item still refers the previous versions of assemblies then this exception will be raised when drag/drop the controls in the VS.

Please perform the below operations

     1.       Run Assembly manager and remove all versions of assemblies.

     2.       Install 10.1.0.44 version assembly alone (It would be better to ensure that only 10.1.0.44 assemblies alone are present in the GAC)

GAC : C:\Windows\assembly

     3.       Then Run the Toolbox configuration utility for VS2008 and VS2010.

     4.       Open VS and Reset the toolbox(RightCLick in Toolbox and select Reset Toolbox items)

     5.       Now open the project and drag/drop the controls,

           For Migrated project

     Please ensure that the 10.1.0.44 assemblies are present in the GAC and kindly refer the below link for clear details

Hi,

Problem is solved (in the meantime... hope it won't come back).

It appears that following the upgrade instructions is not enough...

I perform all the steps required for upgrading the project as explained in Syncfusion help.

Today I've decided to make a full textual search for old Syncfusion version references in the project.

I saw that some of the references appear in the Visual Studio as updated but the project file keeps the old references (to version 6.403, which doesn't exist on my PC).

After I cleaned all those project files manually and added the correct references the toolbox started working OK.
