    Visual Studio Tip: Spice Up the IDE

    Developing .NET applications is fun stuff. However, if you're like me sometimes using the same tools every day can get a little boring. That's why I often like to spice things up by changing the look of my IDE. Lucky for us, Visual Studio makes it easy to change the look of your development environment in just a few clicks.

These settings are saved in...

    AJAX >> Using AJAX to load a usercontrol that requires a custom css file

Using AJAX in an application is probably the standard now. Partial page rendering offers a number of benefits such as increased page responsiveness, as well as close-to-desktop experience using AJAX-based toolkits such as RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. However, adding UpdatePanels to the page and expecting that all of your “postback” logic will continue to function without changes is only true for simple scenarios. There are many more advanced...

    Page Navigation for Silverlight 2 RC0

    Hi my name is Boryana Miloshevska and  I’m a member of  Telerik`s Silverlight team. This is my first blog post and it is about the new RadPageNavigation framework that we just released  for Silverlight 2 RC0. RadPageNavigation is a framework that allows you to easily add navigation service to your application. To do that you can use the provided RadPage, RadFrame, RadFrameContainer and NavigationService classes, or you can use your own classes to implement the IFrame and ITransition interfaces. The framework is 100%  compatible with the WPF navigation service. Navigation between pages is supported. You can also use frames inside each page and to...
