Summary: Learn how to control HTML encoding in the RadAutoCompleteBox for ASP.NET AJAX. You’ll encode entry/item text (e.g., via HttpUtility.HtmlEncode) to prevent XSS, and use item/token templates to render intended HTML when you need markup in the dropdown or tokens.
Article: https://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/documentation/knowledge-base/grid-reorder-columns-with-keyboard-shortcut
Summary: This article explains how to implement keyboard-based column reordering in Telerik ASP.NET AJAX RadGrid. You enable client-side reordering, hook a keydown handler to move the focused header left or right via the RadGrid client-side API, and optionally persist the new order by setting the columns’ OrderIndex on the server.
Article: https://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/documentation/knowledge-base/retrieve-visible-columns-radgrid-aspnet-ajax
Summary: This article shows how to retrieve the currently visible columns in a Telerik RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX at runtime. It covers server-side enumeration via MasterTableView.RenderColumns (or filtering Columns by Visible and Display) and a client-side approach using masterTableView.get_columns() with column.get_visible()/get_display(), including considerations for columns hidden via the ColumnMenu and built-in utility columns.
Article: https://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/documentation/knowledge-base/grid-scrolling-with-frozen-columns-with-mousepad
Summary: This article shows how to make two‑finger touchpad (mousepad) scrolling work correctly in the ASP.NET AJAX RadGrid when Frozen Columns are enabled. You’ll capture wheel/touchpad events over the frozen area and forward the delta to the grid’s scrollable container so horizontal and vertical scrolling stay synchronized, with a concise JavaScript example and guidance on wiring it on grid load.
Article: https://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/documentation/knowledge-base/autocompletebox-disabling-dynamically-added-tokens-server-side

Hello everyone,
Here are the highlights of the new online resources we published this week from 29 Oct 2025 to 05 Nov 2025:
Article: https://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/documentation/controls/speechtotextbutton/overview
Summary: Use the SpeechToTextButton control in Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX to capture microphone input and insert recognized text into a specified input or textarea using the browser’s Web Speech API. The overview shows how to configure the target element and recognition settings (language/culture, interim/continuous results), lists HTTPS/permission and browser support requirements (e.g., Chrome/Edge), and details the server- and client-side API and events (start, result, end, error) so you can manage the recognition lifecycle in JavaScript.
Article: https://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/documentation/controls/speechtotextbutton/appearance
Summary: This article shows you how to style the ASP.NET AJAX SpeechToTextButton using built‑in skins and custom CSS, including setting the Skin property, toggling EnableEmbeddedSkins/EnableEmbeddedBaseStylesheet, and applying a CssClass.

This sticky thread lists known issues and breaking changes introduced in the UI for ASP.NET AJAX releases.
Q3 2011 (Version number: 2011.3.1115)
Problem: When adding items to OData-enabled controls (RadMenu, RadTreeView, RadListBox, RadComboBox) through design time erroneous markup is applied to the control:
<telerik:RadListBox runat="server" ID="RadListBox1">
<Items>
</Items>
<WebServiceSettings>
<ODataSettings InitialContainerName="">
</ODataSettings>
</WebServiceSettings>
</telerik:RadListBox>Please note the added ODataSettings section. It will cause JavaScript errors on the page.
Solution: Remove the ODataSetting section and the issue will vanish. The problem is also fixed in the Q3 SP1 release, version number 2011.3.1305When I run my project I'm getting this error
Could not load file or assembly 'Telerik.Web.UI' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
In my web.config I checked that the version in the web.config is the same as the version I'm using in references
<assemblyIdentity name="Telerik.Web.UI" publicKeyToken="121fae78165ba3d4" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-2020.2.617.45" newVersion="2020.2.617.45" />

I'm trying hide a couple of columns in a RadGrid. I can do this in RadGrid1_ItemDataBound with the GrdiHeaderItem setting visible = false.
However, the output still uses space for the 2 columns that were hidden at the end of the grid.
Looking at the page source when I run my app there are 2 extra <col /> tags in <colgroup> and the <tfoot> tag has 2 extra <td></td> tags. There is the correct number of <td> tags in each row in <tr> in the table body.
Could this be from css? Is there a way in override this in RadGrid1_ItemDataBound manually?
On our side the update to version 2025.4 is failing because of browser inlog issue, see attaches screenshot.
What to do?
Marc

Hey everyone, I'm working on an ASP.NET AJAX project and am having some confusion about handling delta updates within partial postbacks.
Specifically:
I am waiting yours valuable replies. Thanks in advance!

Is there any way to get a list of all items from a RadMultiSelect?
I've found the solution of get it from the datasource, but I'm remodeling exiting code that is replacing RadListBoxes and it would be simpler if I could read the items from RadMultiSelect.Items.

If the user selects the highlighted text individually (by double clicking their mouse and highlighting the words) and paste it into an Editor, all is good.
However, if the user triple clicks to highlight the entire sentence and then paste that into an Editor, this is what shows up in the HTML view:
<div>
<div id="ctl00_Main_Content_ctl00_Main_Content_RadMultiPagePanel">
<div id="ctl00_Main_Content_RadMultiPage">
<div id="Main_Content_SummaryPage">
<div>
<div>Please load claims from QNXT Production 09/12/2025 into Test Reports.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>

<div>
<div id="ctl00_Main_Content_ctl00_Main_Content_ddlQuickLinksPanel">
<div id="ctl00_Main_Content_ddlQuickLinks" tabindex="0"> </div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Using the following client script to change the selected value of the slider. However, it does not seem that the "item" or slider "set_value()" function is doing anything. The selected value nor the position of the of the slider changes on the client.
Thank you in advance for any help resolving this issue.
Client Script:
var dateValue = dayjs(selectedDate).format("M/D/YYYY");
var slider = $find("<%=RadSlider1.ClientID%>");
var items = slider.get_items();
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
var item = items[i];
var sliderDate = item.get_value();
if (sliderDate == dateValue) {
item.set_value(dateValue);
slider.set_value(dateValue);
slider.repaint();
break;
}
