    A Sneak Peek at our ASP.NET AJAX RibbonBar development

    A few months ago, I blogged about Telerik’s ASP.NET RibbonBar control (or just ribbon for short) in general: why use it; a few words about the ribbon spec; improvements we have made and future plans we have for it. Now, few days after the 2012 Q3 release, I am blogging about our progress in this area, as well as bringing up some other lesser known features of the ribbon.

    Telerik’s Major ASP.NET Data Visualization Controls in a New Sample App

    You must have noticed we have been working aggressively on improving the data visualization arsenal of Telerik's ASP.NET AJAX controls over the past year. This is why we thought it was about time we combined the new Gauge, PivotGrid and AutoCompleteBox controls with the enhanced HTML5 Chart into a simple and compact website application. Naturally, with all the hype about this year's Olympic Games the theme for the app was quite obvious. ;) The sample ASP.NET app Olympic Games showcases how easy it is to provide data presentation and management functionality to your users and how you can integrate several major controls with just a few lines of code.

    Uploading Files with Telerik’s ASP.NET Async Upload Control More Flexible than Ever

      Following closely our customers’ feature requests and the latest browser implementations concerning the Html5 FileApi, we keep on our development tradition by adding to Telerik’s ASP.NET Async Upload five new features and support for uploading files in iPad/iPhone iOS.

This is easily achieved by setting the DropZones property which lists CSS selectors (with comma separators) allowing users to have a more intuitive functionality. More details can be found in this demo. Manual Upload  Another functionality that provides more flexibility in the process of...
