The days are getting longer here, at Telerik Central, as we are working hard to bring you the next top-notch release. Much attention is directed at RadScheduler and we have some good stuff coming down the pipeline. The beta is due today, so we have decided that it is about time to spill the beans. Looks count, really. That is why we have decided to add a touch of class to RadScheduler and make it a stylish part of your even more stylish applications. The changes are more than skin deep. The markup and the CSS were simplified and reduced in size for...

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.

Fortunately there is an easier way to detect the problem instead of wandering around the code in a manual “debugging” session – the Visual Studio...

Immediately after word got out that we acquired Vanatec, customers started asking us what are our plans for the tool, how much it is going to cost and whether they would get it for free or they would have to upgrade. While we will be releasing information about our future plans for OpenAccess and will publish the ORM roadmap in the weeks to come, I wanted to make a quick note about licensing. The good news for customers with an all-inclusive subscription is that they will get the tool free of charge, as well as any updates that are out during their subscription....

Who would not like to implement a sleek drag and drop in minutes? I definitely would. This is why I find the new RadDragAndDrop a welcome addition to the controls. Straight to the point then: How to implement a simple drag/drop? To answer this question I will walk you through the DragDrop example that is available here: http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#Examples/DragAndDrop/FirstLook This example shows that the DragDrop can be used with any controls/objects, not just the Telerik RadControls.
