For months now we have been talking about the new RadEditor being built in the "Prometheus" suite and how it is going to be the best version of RadEditor to date. Today an early preview of that work was released in the "Prometheus" Futures build and made available for general testing in the Telerik community. Obviously, the version that was released today looks a lot different from the final version that will be released- dialogues are still rough, features are unpolished, and some features are missing- but it is still a great look at what's coming. Today I ran the RadEditor Futures release build through...

Have you ever thought about processing credit cards in your .NET application? If you have, then you know one of the first things you need to do is find some code to validate that credit card numbers entered by your users appear correct before you send them along to your payment processor. Having created applications in the past that process credit cards, I know that this task can be surprisingly harder than it should be. There are plenty of code snippets scattered across the 'Nets that show you how to do individual parts of the validating process, but there are few...

It recently came to my attention that there is no good documentation on the Telerik website showing you how to create a RadRotator (with a defined template) programmatically. There is some documentation out there showing you how to programmatically data bind a RadTicker, and the RadControls Learning Guide has some good guidance, but nothing exists online for easy Rotator reference.

Microsoft has just released a new search service, called Tafiti. From the very beginning should be clarified that Tafiti is more of an example of what Silverlight is capable of rather than a real search engine product.  It is based on the 1.0 RC plug-in of Silverlight and uses the Live Search API, which means that you will get the same results as if you search in MSN or Live.Tafiti is rich, interactive and provides the user with some very nice features which the ordinary searches lack. As it name implies, Tafiti in Swahili means "do research".ShelfThe shelf is a space on the screen where you...
