RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX

The Telerik RadControls For ASP.NET AJAX offer intellisense information for the code-behind out of the box as Visual Studio automatically loads the needed information from our assembly. It can display it without any futher configuration, because the type of the variables is known.

The case with JavaScript is a bit more complex, because it is a weakly typed programming language, i.e. a variable does not need a type to function and thus Visual Studio cannot know what information to load for it.

You can overcome this difficulty by casting the objects which hold references to the RadControls to their respective type by using the method each control provides in the Telerik static client library, for example:

CopyJavaScript
<telerik:RadScriptManager runat="server" ID="rsm1"></telerik:RadScriptManager>
<telerik:RadWindow runat="server" ID="RadWindow1"></telerik:RadWindow>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var oWnd = $find("RadWindow1");
    oWnd = $telerik.toWindow(oWnd);
</script>

A similar approach allows Visual Studio to show the intellisense for this variable:

Tip

This cast is not needed for production environment, it is useful for development and would not yield any benefit when the site is live - it will work just as well without it, it is actually an extra operation.
