Hi Folks, My name is Vladimir Enchev and some of you may already know me from telerik forums. I am part of team1 @ telerik and I’ll try to inform you regularly about all cool things related to r.a.d.ajax, r.a.d.grid, etc. and of course some other hot stuff about my daily tasks. Ok :-) .. so my first top secret confidential info is that the next version of r.a.d.grid will support some really useful client-side operations such as “Delete”. Here is a link with small online demo: http://betas.telerik.com/examples/clientdelete/  ... and here is the code: <radG:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" DataSourceID="SessionDataSource1"AllowAutomaticDeletes="True" runat="server">  <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="ProductID">     <Columns>       <radG:GridClientDeleteColumn ConfirmText="Are you sure?" />     </Columns>  ...

The conversion contest announced some months ago by Mike Swanson ended a few days ago: http://wpf.netfx3.com/content/ConversionContest.aspx It's a pity that none of the contestants has written a Flash (SWF) to XAML converter so far. Although to me, it looks like a hard job to do I think soon there'll be some third party tools which will successfully convert some simple flash files to XAML. I found a good tool by Kinesis Software which decompiles SWF to RVML. The task gets simplified and now someone should write an extension which converts RVML to XAML. As easy as that :) Btw I've got another favorite missing - Maya to...

As some of us have found the latest installment of MS AJAX is not backwards compatible. Shortly after ScottGu’s official statement our QA team reported that none of our controls worked with MS AJAX Beta 1. That is really bad news if you happen to claim to be the first ASP.NET component vendor with official ATLAS support. This called for a desperate debugging session which happens to be what I and Hristo Deshev like the most :). So I downloaded and installed the latest version (kudos to Microsoft for the painless install). I created an “Ajax enabled web site” and wired up r.a.d.input....

Vista must be getting popular these days! We've been hit with some support requests that basically sounded like "Why don't your installers create virtual folders on IIS7 under Vista?". Our installers run fine and copy all needed files, but our virtual directory creation custom task seems to have some problems with IIS7. We are yet to throw in some efforts and research the issue in greater detail, but I assume we just have to look into the new "official" way to create virtual folders and just add support for it. Until that time, you can use the IIS6 compatibility mode. This...

My team and I have been working hard to bring you the cool web services functionality that shipped with r.a.d.ajax in Q3 a week ago. And now, when the goodies are out in the open, people are beginning to explore the new features and looking for suitable ways to use them. I have been reading some of the initial support tickets we received about the web services support in r.a.d.ajax and it seems that quite a few people would appreciate some guidance with this somewhat advanced feature of the product. This blog post is meant to get you guys started. Scared...
