    Using the Performance Analyzer for HTML5 Apps in Windows 8

    If you have built a Windows 8 app, you are probably familiar with the WACK (Windows App Certification Kit).

    How to set a custom height for RadButton and RadFormDecorated buttons in ASP.NET AJAX

    Lately we’ve been receiving one question quite often - is it possible to increase the RadButton and / or RadFormDecorator’s button default height. Usually people are trying to set the needed value to the Height property: <telerik:RadFormDecorator runat="server" DecoratedControls="All" /> <asp:Button runat="server" Text="RadForm Button" Height="40" /> <telerik:RadButton runat="server" Text="RadButton" Height="40"> </telerik:RadButton>   But the result is not pretty:      By default the RadButton as well as ASP Buttons and inputs of type=”button” decorated by the RadFormDecorator are visually built with sprite images that apply a specific gradient to the element. The sprite image has a specific height, which means you cannot just change the button’s height property because the sprite image will be either cut off or...

    New Sample Application Available for ASP.NET AJAX – Image Gallery

    An image gallery is a popular feature in a website, so we decided to demonstrate how easy and quick it is to build a gallery with the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX and OpenAccess ORM. The finished app is compatible not only with the latest desktop browsers, but also with the major mobile ones.   The list of images on the main page was a perfect opportunity to show off the new client-side data-binding of our RadListView control. To get the data to the browser, we settled on a WCF Web Service. The same approach is used for populating the images in a...
