Have you ever been working with the Telerik Quickstart examples and wondered why all of the demo pages inherit from XhtmlPage instead of System.Web.UI.Page? Even if you guess that this custom base page somehow ensures that all rendered demo pages are XHTML valid, have you ever wondered how the base page manages to deliver that functionality? In this post, we’ll take a close look at the XhtmlPage class and see what it’s doing to deliver easy XHTML validity. The lessons learned from this class can easily be applied to your own custom page classes and used to make your web...

Have you thought whether it’s easy to automate tests, simulating key pressing?  How is this handled in a browser-oriented tool like Selenium? Fortunately Selenium provides API for keyDown/Up and keyPress as well as a command to fire any event, which triggers correspondingly “on”-handler (of course - “fireEvent”). On the other hand the “type” command just sets the value of an input field, so that one can set new value of the input element without the need to fire any event. What if we need to see how a control behaves in case of some specific user input, though? An input ...

Hello, my name is Manol Donev and I'm part of the ASP.NET team responsible for the development and maintenance of our grid, ajax, calendar, input, and chart components. With time ticking away and the September release date closing down I can assure you there is a lot going on here at the moment -- gradually orienting our ASP.NET product line towards ASP.NET AJAX is by far our main focus of course and probably you will find some of the ASP.NET AJAX tips and tricks I'll be writing about useful in your own projects as well. OK, this one does not qualify exactly...

Hi everyone,We decided to start series of blog posts targeting interesting examples which can be easily implemented with RadControls. These short posts will be accompanied by flash movies (they will start in new window when you click the image at the bottom of the message) which outline the main parts of the demos. That is where the name of blog comes from - Telerik corporation presents. We hope you will enjoy the reading and do not spare your ideas about videos you would like to see here - who knows, may be you can become the producer/director of the next movie from the series :)Now up to...

We have just updated our RadEditor for MOSS with a new build. You can get it from the usual place. Visit http://www.telerik.com/products/sharepoint/radeditor.aspx for more information. The new version (4.31) has a bunch of enhancements and bug fixes. The most important new feature in my opinion is the addition of a base editor class, which you can use in your own custom MOSS solutions. The new class (MOSSRadEditor) is available only in the full-featured version of the RadEditor for MOSS. It allows you to easily add an instance of RadEditor, which will have the MOSS specific features like the ability to use MOSS asset...
