Syncfusion controls missing from toolbox

[Paul Meems]

After upgrading to 'Essential Studio 2013 Volume 3 Final Release v11.3.0.30' the Syncfusion controls are missing from my VS2012 toolbox.

I already tried the 'Toolbox installer', that gave no errors but the controls did not came back.

I tried adding the controls manually but I have 3 versions of most controls making it a very tedious task to perform because I can's select multiple controls at once.

Please assist.

Thanks,

Paul

Unfortunately, I also have the same problem.

In the registry key indicated the componentoi Syncfusion were not present, I proceeded to record them manually and delete the cache folder indicated.

All operations have not given positive results.

To get the updated toolbox in VS2012 I made a recording of components.

Hi Ramin Alirezaee,

We regret for the inconvenience caused.

It seems that the reported compilation error has occurred due to our .NET Framework 4.5 version controls were referred to your application which has the Target Framework 4.0. You can resolve this compilation error by configuring our 4.0 Framework controls in Visual Studio 2012 Toolbox and referred to your application.

We would like to inform you that from the v11.3.0.30, we can configure the corresponding .NET Framework Syncfusion controls alone in respective Visual Studio toolbox through Syncfusion Toolbox Installer. For Example: We can configure .NET Framework 4.0 Syncfusion controls in Visual Studio 2010 toolbox alone through our Toolbox Installer. We have removed the options such as configure .NET Framework 4.0 Syncfusion controls in Visual Studio 2012 toolbox in Syncfusion Toolbox Installer from our latest version(11.3.0.30). But, we can configure the .NET Framework 4.0 controls in Visual Studio 2012 by perform the below steps.

i)Ensure that .NET Framework 4.0 Syncfusion controls are installed in below mentioned GAC location. 

GAC Location: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL

ii)If .NET Framework 4.0 Syncfusion controls are not installed in GAC, then please run the Assembly Manager from the Syncfusion Dashboard to install the .NET Framework 4.0 Syncfusion assemblies in GAC. Please refer the below link to know about Assembly Manager.

http://help.syncfusion.com/ug/common/default.htm#!documents/assemblymanager.htm  

iii)Open the command prompt with an administrator privileges and navigate to the below location.

{ProgramFilesFolder}\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\11.3.0.30\Utilities\ToolBoxInstallers\

Eg: C:\Program Files\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\11.3.0.30\Utilities\ToolBoxInstallers\

iv) Run the 'ToolboxInstallerConsole.exe' with arguments.

/action:reinstall /framework:4.0in4.5 /version:11.3.0.30 /platform:wpf

Please refer the screenshot below

v) Click Ok.

vi) Now, .NET Framework 4.0 Syncfusion Controls will be configured in Visual Studio 2012 Toolbox.

Please let us know if you need any further assistance on this.

Hello,

I have the same problem with 113030.

I'm using Visual Studio 2010.

What should I do?

Also I have some projects that run the version 111021 and I expected to find both sets of controls.

Thanks
