Hi James, I have properly applied the safe control entry in web.config and have specified that latest build number - 7.0.7200.306.

When I refresh the "Server Controls" in the designer I am able to see Webgrid listed and am able to drag it onto the design surface. It adds the control reference in the code vie. The error appears on the design surface: "Error rendering control Webgrid1 - An error occurred while fetching preview"

A few questions:

I am running Sharepoint designer on a dev server but am connected to the live site. All the web.config entries are in the web.config on the live server inclusing all the assemblies. Would that make a difference? I have the WebUI Studio instaled on both the dev and live servers, with all assemblies in both bins and GACs.

I have licensed WebUI Studio on the live server. Where do I add the runtime license? Do I add it to the web.config and if so, where?

I have attached a screenshot of the eror.

Thanks for your assistance.

Regards

Gary

Hi Glenn, thanks for the response. I have already used that document to configure WebGrid for Sharepoint. I have also chnaged the Trust Level to Full. I am getting the following error in Sharepoint Designer:

Showing a modal dialog box or form when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode is not a valid operation. Specify the ServiceNotification or DefaultDesktopOnly style to display a notification from a service application.
