• RadAjaxLoadingPanel control has new images for its build-in Skins. These new images are suitable for any background. The obsolete loading images which are not part of the RadAjaxLoadingPanel Skins are removed from the Telerik.Web.UI assembly.

• RadTimeView control can be used on a page standalone, without RadTimePicker/RadDateTimePicker added on the page. When you are using it with disabled embedded scripts, you need to reference the below script files as described here.

• RadGrid has a base stylesheet file for its skins. Note that when you are using a custom skin with the latest release, you need to set the EnableEmbeddedBaseStylesheet property to false.

• RadInputManager textboxes will by default have no CSS class if the Skin is set to an empty string (no skin). This ensures interoperability with RadFormDecorator, which only decorates textboxes with no CSS class. When using RadInputManager with custom CSS classes and no Skin, it is recommended to set all state CSS classes for the InputSettings, instead of just one or two - EnabledCssClass, HoveredCssClass, FocusedCssClass, InvalidCssClass, EmptyMessageCssClass, ReadOnlyCssClass, DisabledCssClass (or at least all CSS classes for states that will be used).In order to decorate RadInputManager textboxes with RadFormDecorator, set Skin="" and EnableEmbeddedBaseStylesheet="false" to the RadInputManager control.

• RadFormDecorator: Buttons' height is increased to 22px. in order to fit and look better when placed next to RadInput or RadComboBox items. The previous button height was 21px. If you are using a custom skin, based on previous version, you should change your main skin's CSS as shown in this sticky forum thread.

• From Q3 2009 SP1, RadToolTip uses a base stylesheet file for its skins. If you want to use a custom (pre-Q3 2009 SP1) skin with the latest release, you need to set the EnableEmbeddedBaseStylesheet property to false.

All controls from the RadControls suite are fully backwards compatible with their previous version with the following exceptions:

• RadDock for ASP.NET AJAX - Custom RadDock skins are not compatible with the improved rendering of the control that was introduced with Q3 2009. An article that explains how to rework old custom skins is available on the following page:http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/docking/using-old-custom-skins-with-raddock-q3-2009.aspx

• RadXmlHttpPanel for ASP.NET AJAX - public delegate void XmlHttpPanelEventHandler(object sender, RadXmlHttpPanelEventArgs e); is taken out from RadXmlHttpPanel class

• RadScheduler for ASP.NET AJAX - Cumulative list of removed or obsoleted properties over the last few releases and their counterparts for Q3 2009 if applicable.

  • SchedulerFormCreatingEventArgs.Time -> e.Appointment.Start or e.Appointment.End

  • SchedulerNavigationCommandEventArgs.SelectedDay -> e.SelectedDate.Day

  • SchedulerStrings.Insert -> Localization-Save

  • SchedulerStrings.Update -> Localization-Save

  • SchedulerStrings.AdvancedMoreDetails -> Localization-ShowAdvancedForm

  • SchedulerStrings.AdvancedRecurringAppointment -> Localization-AdvancedRecurrence

  • RadScheduler.StartInFullTime -> ShowFullTime

  • RecurrenceRange.MaxOccurences (misspelling) -> MaxOccurrences

  • RecurrenceState.Occurence (misspelling) -> Occurrence

  • SchedulerViewType.ResourceView -> N/A

• RadMultiPage for ASP.NET AJAX - some changes have been introduced in the rendering of the RadMultiPage in order to improve its SEO performance.The control now relies on a base stylesheet instead of inline styles.If you have set Telerik.EnableEmbeddedBaseStylesheet to "false" in the web.config/appSettings RadMultiPage will not render correctly.You have to set EnableEmbeddedBaseStylesheet to "true" on the control itself to fix this issue

• RadComboBox for ASP.NET AJAX control in Q3 2009 has a brand new base stylesheet instead of skin file only. This could be a possible breaking change if you use custom skins. You have to set EnableEmbeddedBaseStylesheet to "false" in order to fix the issues introduced by this change.

All controls from the RadControls suite are fully backwards compatible with their previous version with the following exceptions:

Breaking change:

Customized advanced templates will not be styled correctly due to rendering changes. Please, see this KB article - http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/scheduler.aspx

Potentially breaking changes:

• The Subject text box in the integrated advanced form is now of type RadTextBox (was TextBox)

• The custom attribute editing text boxes in the integrated advanced form are now of type RadTextBox (were TextBox)

• Skinning: background-position declarations were moved from base stylesheet to skins. Migration tool is available here.

• Facelift for all skins and consistency in CSS naming conventions which result in breaking changes for ceratin scenarios. Please, test before upgrading to the new version. For more details refer to this blogpost

• Default2006, Gray, Inox and SkyBlue skins are discontinued -- we are recommending the new Default skin for anyone that might have used the obsolete skins. If you decide that you still want the obsolete skins in your application please contact us in a support ticket.

  Note
  To apply the old embedded skins of RadControl for ASP.NET AJAX as external with versions of the control after Q1 2009 (2009.1.311), download them from this location and follow the steps concerning how to register an external skin from here and this topic.

• New Telerik.Web.Design.dll to separate the design-time code from the web control implementation code. If you do not have VS 2008 SP1 installed you might have desgin-time problems. For possible solutions please refer to this blogpost as well as the bottom paragraph of this help topic.

• Embedded skins improvements - all calendar skins received major improvements/enhancements. See this forum thread explaining how to apply the old skins as external if necessary.

• Animations are using the jQuery library now. If you have disabled the embedded scripts you need to manually register the jQuery.js and jQueryPlugins.js files as described here: Disabling Embeded Resources

In this version of the control, a number of changes have been made with respect to the pager rendering, styling, as well as the status item. Below is a short list, introducing the changes:

• The main wrapper for the pager has a CSS class name of rdPager. In terms of html this renders as:<tr class="rgPager">

• GridStatusBarItem is now obsolete. Presently, the pager hosts a table, with one or two cells, depending on whether there will be some status indication or not. The GridStatusBarItem is actually replaced by the first of these two cells.The second cell hosts most of the elements of the pager. Its CSS class name is created by concatenating "rgPagerCell", and the present paging mode, for example "NextPrev". Within this cell are rendered the blocks, pertaining to the individual elements of the pager - number links, arrows, labels and drop downs to change the page size, along with the information element showing "page x to y from z". The CSS classes, related to these elements are as shown below:rgArrPart1 - left arrows, associated to "First Page" and "Previous Page"rgArrPart2 - right arrows, associated to "Last Page" and "Next Page"rgNumPart - numeric part, associated with the numeric representations of the page indexes (e.g. 1, 2, 3)rgAdvpart - advanced part, associated with the controls to change the page sizergInfoPart - right info text, associated with the information element, reflecting the rows and items countThe slider block has no special CSS class, associated with it.

• Within the numeric part of the pager, each number is an <a> element with a <span> inside, and no CSS class.

• The current page (the page that the user has presently chosen as a CurrentPageIndex) has a CSS class of rgCurrentPage.

• The Labels nested within the advanced pager part have a CSS class of "rgPagerLabel".

• Each TextBox within the pager has a CSS class of "rgPagerTextBox".

• Each Button within the advanced pager has a CSS class of "rgPagerButton".

• The Label, associated with the slider has a CSS class of "rgSliderLabel".

• Embedded skins improvements - all grid skins received major improvements/enhancements. See this topic from the documentation for more info about the changes and this forum thread explaining how to apply the old skins as external if necessary. Below is the most important part of it:

  CSS Classes Description

  Each CSS class should have a suffix with the name of the skin, e.g. "_Vista" before the Q1 2009 release of the product. The table below shows the classes used by the embedded Telerik RadGrid Default skin (the non-embedded skins css classes signature conforms to the same concepts):
