    Maximum performance with minimum output using Telerik RadDatePicker client-side API

    Very often you need to use RadDatePicker inside a grid or list component and if you have lots of records the standard approach is not the best choice. Example: <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">   <MasterTableView>     <Columns>       <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="OrderDate" SortExpression="OrderDate">         <ItemTemplate>           <telerik:RadDatePicker ID="RadDatePicker1" DbSelectedDate='<%# Eval("OrderDate") %>' runat="server" />         </ItemTemplate>       </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>     </Columns>   </MasterTableView> </telerik:RadGrid> In this case you will get new date picker component for...

    Visual Studio Tips &amp; Tricks

    Being a professional developer requires that you invest some time in learning your tools. Working with .NET my tool of choice (not that there is a whole lot of choice) is Visual Studio.  It’s an excellent IDE that’s very customizable and can be extremely productive if you learn how to use it well. The best way to increase your productivity is to learn some keyboard shortcuts. Yes, the toolbars are all nice and pretty, but you can do pretty much absolutely everything with the keyboard. I even know some people who don't use any toolbars at all! In my opinion that's...

    RadWindow for Silverlight

                  My first post for the Telerik blog community is already here. After I have been part of the Silverlight team for a while, I learned that there are two ways you can get noticed here. Either you blog about some of the most interesting and top-notch stuff happening around, or you post some funny stuff on the internal newsgroups of the company. OK, I hope this post won’t make it for the newsgroups.  So lets get to the point, as our CTP2 release is underway, I am pleased to introduce one of the new controls included in the pack...

    Page Request Manager Parser Error with ASP.NET AJAX 1.0

    How many times you get this in your ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 applications? After several support tickets we manage to isolate this to very simple case - standard UpdatePanel and a Button writing in Session. How weird? Here is the code:   <%@ Page Language="VB" %> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <script runat="server">     Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)         Page.Session("test") = "test"     End Sub </script> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head runat="server">     <title></title> </head> <body>...

    Placing 2D labels in a 3D scene

    Hello everyone, Since that is my first blog, I suppose a short introduction won't do a harm. My name is Evtim Papushev and I am Software Developer @ Telerik. I'm in the Charting division and I currently work on the new RadChart for WPF. Well, that's enough about me, now let's move to the today's topic.   Placing labels in a 3-dimensional scene isn't an issue at all. Well, at least technically, it is simple - place a 3D model, then set text box as diffuse material, set the texture coordinates and you are ready to roll. What such a solution lacks is business...
