Ivo, I'd really like to see that Promethius-specific doc. I'm working with the current trial and the old tutorial and the differences are causing a lot of stuttering. I'll even take a beta at this point, it has to be better than trying to apply old demos to new code. For example:
- The very first example in the tutorial has a screenshot of markup code – it’s missing a script manager, which means it couldn’t possibly run as documented. As mentioned elsewhere, the tutorial in general is great but it wasn't really QA'd well.
- The namespace for RadAjaxManager is now Telerik.Web.UI, not Telerik.WebControls.
- Page 35, LoadingPanel should be LoadingPanelID.
- There is no "EnableOutsideScripts", only "EnableEmbeddedScripts".
- Page 36, Images are here:
C:\Program Files\Telerik\RadControls for ASPNET AJAX Q1 2008\Live Demos\Ajax\Img
There's also:
C:\Program Files\Telerik\RadControls for ASPNET AJAX Q1 2008\Live Demos\Skins\Default\Ajax
- I don’t think people need to worry about the visibility issue with dpEnd anymore, and divEnd isn’t required anymore, so a copy/paste of the code will need some tweaks.
- It’s not AjaxLoadingPanel1, it’s RadAjaxLoadingPanel1.
- The DateTime properties need to be nullable, so the return types for them need to be changed to “DateTime?".
Yes, and the list goes on, but I fully understand that this doc was written against a different release of the software. In fact, by paying very close attention and actually making things work I'm sure I've learned even more about the software. But I really don't have time for forensic analysis of doc vs software right now, I need to evaluate this product and try to do some prototypes to justify the expense, so I'm on the fast-track and can't afford to be slowed down by old docs. So please... updates are welcome, even partial updates as they become available...
Apologies for the gripes, and simultaneous thanks to Lino and the folks at Falafel. I don't know you guys at all but I recently saw the TelerikTV session and was very impressed with your app. Then I saw a ton of the other vids on this site that you guys do - Wow - major thanks for all your community effort, and good luck with your software offerings.
