    Launching a new blog

    I am pleased to announce that I am starting a new web development-oriented blog. I have been honored (Thanks, Joe!) to blog on weblogs.asp.net and I think that, after several years of active development on our ASP.NET control suite, I have something to say about web development. What will happen with this blog? Don't worry, I will keep posting interesting stuff here too. I am just trying to separate the general ASP.NET content from control development and Telerik-related news and announcements. What is the best way to stay on top of everything happening in my world? Go ahead and click the RSS...

    RadEditor Prometheus up to 76 percent faster

    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...

    Ultimate .NET Credit Card Utility Class

    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...

    How to: Create RadRotator Programmatically

    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. Let's solve that problem and take a quick look at how you can programmatically create your RadRotator and template. Step 1: Define your template. Defining a template for RadRotator in code is very similar to the process involved in programmatically creating a template...
