    Introducing the RadInputManager control for ASP.NET AJAX

    Last week the ASP.NET team released a Beta of Q3 2008 for RadControls ASP.NET AJAX.  You can download it from http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/thread/b311D-bgmcha.aspx  , and run examples built with it on the online samples page here http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax-beta/Controls/Examples/Default/DefaultCS.aspx.  The Q3 2008 will be shipped with a new server control - RadInputManager. The RadInputManager offers an easy and intuitive way to extend a standard ASP.NET TextBox. Sometimes web apps will contain, for whatever reason, a large number of Input controls that can significantly impact the page performance. A great solution in these cases is to use RadInputManager. The big benefit with this control is that it...

    AJAX >> Using AJAX to load a usercontrol that has JavaScript declared in it

    Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4   /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} One of the things one needs to take care of when converting an existing application to use MS AJAX is inline script blocks inside pages or user controls. Problem with these is that if the control is sent to the client as a result of a partial page update (e.g. AJAX call) the inline script block simply won’t execute at all. The...

    The days are getting longer here, at Telerik Central, as we are working hard to bring you the next top-notch release.

    RadCombobox with disabled javascript

    Hi, all. We have a couple of requests from customers to do something and make RadComboBox working when javascript is disabled. And we did it. We implemented a new AccessibilityMode property which will render noscript tag containing a select html element. This will make the combobox control usable even if the javascript of the browser is disabled. Yes, it will be displayed like an usual drop down list but still it will be RadComboBox on the server. The following RadComboBox definition : <telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server" Width="250px" ForeColor="Green" AccessibilityMode="True" OnSelectedIndexChanged="RadComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged" AutoPostBack="True"> <Items> <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="RadComboBoxItem1" Value="RadComboBoxItem1" ForeColor="green"/> <telerik:RadComboBoxItem...
