    Q3 2010 brings a new look for the RadColorPicker for ASP.NET AJAX

    Our third official release for the year 2010 will come with a major visual improvement for RadColorPicker for ASP.NET AJAX. While we focused on adding new functionality to the control the past few releases, we decided it was time for a thorough appearance review. Without further ado, here is the comparison between the old the new look (click to open in a new page): Apart from the polishing of the overall look & feel, we “rounded” corners for all palettes and added shadows for the popup palettes. Another major difference is the order of colors in the Default preset palette. I know...

    First Look at RadButton for ASP.NET AJAX!

    We will extend our ASP.NET AJAX suite in Q3 2010 with a new control.

    RadGrid's client-side databinding capabilities got boosted to a new level with the Q3 2010 release of Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. RadGrid now supports automatic databinding to OData web services.

OData exposes your data over the web to a variety of consumers, building on technology that is widely adopted. With the Q3 2010 release, we have added automatic client-side databinding support for OData services. To configure RadGrid for binding to an OData service, you...

    RadScheduler for ASP.NET AJAX - Improvements to provider interface in Q3 2010

    The Q3 release RadControls will come packed with shiny features and a couple of new controls, but that’s not all! We’ve fiddled with the complex machinery under the hood and made it better too. Let me introduce you the new and improved provider interface (ABC, actually) for RadScheduler: public abstract class SchedulerProviderBase : ProviderBase {     public virtual IEnumerable<Appointment> GetAppointments(ISchedulerInfo schedulerInfo) { }     public virtual IDictionary<ResourceType, IEnumerable<Resource>> GetResources(ISchedulerInfo schedulerInfo) { }     public virtual void Insert(ISchedulerInfo schedulerInfo, Appointment appointmentToInsert) { }     public virtual void Update(ISchedulerInfo schedulerInfo, Appointment appointmentToUpdate) { }    ...

    Isolating a Problem in a Sample Project

    If you have contacted Telerik support before, chances are that you have been asked to send us a sample project. The time invested in isolating a problem before opening a ticket is well paid off. Such tickets require less time for investigation and are usually closed with only one or two replies. In almost all cases the problem can be easily isolated by following a few simple guidelines. Here they are.
