RadTips, Episode 15: Introducing the RadInputManager for ASP.NET AJAX

I’m happy to announce another episode of RadTips, a series of screencasts offering tips and tricks for using Telerik's RadControls. If you've missed previous episodes, be sure to check them out. Each is only a few minutes long and covers a specific feature of the RadControls. Here is a list of the last few episodes...

• Add an 'Export to PDF' Button to the RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX
• Customizing the Look of the RadAjaxLoadingPanel for ASP.NET AJAX
• Sharing Toolbars with the RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX
• Using Declarative Client-Side DataBinding in the RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX, Part 1

This Tip

No longer is there a need to scatter RadInput controls in different parts of your page. In this episode I'll show ASP.NET AJAX developers how to easily replace RadInput controls with the traditional ASP.NET TextBox, and then configure advanced functionality for the controls in one place on the page. Then, I’ll demonstrate how this approach results in optimal performance, especially when using many input controls in the same page.

As always, code and video are available for download. Enjoy!
