In part one of this three part series, we looked at RadAjax, RadCalendar, RadChart, RadCombobox, RadDock, and RadEditor running on the iPhone. We found most of those controls run relatively well on the iPhone with the exception of RadEditor. In this second installment, we'll look at another batch of RadControls and pass judgment on their usability. Each control will be deemed either usable, semi-usable, or unusable on the iPhone so that you can quickly tweak your applications (or build new ones) for iPhone users. Today's lucky controls are RadGrid, RadInput, RadMenu, RadPanelbar, RadRotator, and RadSpell. During all of my tests with these controls, the...

Below is a summary of the new online resources available for our ASP.NET controls: RadInputHelp topics: How-to -> Set focus on RadInput controls - not uploaded yet How-to -> Get and set values in RadInput controls (client-side) - not uploaded yet Resolve RadInput flickering in Ajax scenarios under Firefox - not uploaded yet General functionality -> Data-Binding - not uploaded yet

Before we step to the actual integration, there are few requirements that need to be met. Download and install RadControls for Silverlight Download and install Microsoft Expression Media Encoder Download and unzip TelerikThemePackage.zip (The archive contains 3 files - Default.html, player.xaml and preview.jpg) I assume that you have successfully completed the above three tasks. 1. Go to where you have installed Microsoft Expression Media Encoder. Then navigate to the Templates folder. Usually this is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Expression\Media Encoder 1.0\Templates\en\ 2. Create a copy of any of the folders (E.g. "Pilot") and rename it to Telerik 3. Replace Default.html, player.xaml, preview.jpg from the newly created "Telerik" folder with the three files from the TelerikThemePackage.zip archive. 4. Open Microsoft Expression...

Since the beginning of ASP.NET AJAX era I have seen very few examples on how to manually force update of an ASP.NET AJAX UpdatePanel using JavaScript and I have decided to post very simple approach how to do this. First of all you will need to create your own UpdatePanel which will inherit from the original ASP.NET AJAX UpdatePanel and will implement IPostBackEventHandler interface: Now you can call explicitly Update() method of the UpdatePanel: ... and that's it! :-) ... however we can extend this control with an event which will be raised on explicit updates: Now you can use the new UpdatePanel in your pages like this: Enjoy!
