    Third-party controls and support for Atlas

    So much to blog about and so little time... It has been almost a couple of months since my last blog post and there were quite a few things to comment - new initiatives, interesting updates, participation in events, etc. For some reason I felt guilty for having so much to say and not blogging about it and I was looking for "THE blog post" to get back into the game:)Luckily for me, and for all telerik customers, the dev team came up with some pretty exciting news - with a great sense of pride we are happy to announce the first major third-party component suite...

    IE Memory Leak Best Practices with AJAX in Mind

    Am I getting obsessed with memory leaks?  Give me a non-leaking browser and I'll cut it out .Yesterday I was hunting for a hard-to-find memory leak with r.a.d.treeview.  Our component cleans up its DOM element references and DOM event handlers when it is being destroyed.  Control destruction and resource disposal occurs on two occasions:  when the page unloads and when the control is updated by an AJAX call (r.a.d.callback, Atlas, etc -- the mechanism is framework-agnostic).  Now the treeview, being a good citizen, follows the leak prevention pattern of keeping references to DOM elements to a minimum.  Most of the...

Now, a lot of people love and use Watir, and we have been getting requests for help on scripting our web controls with Watir.  All of our controls are pretty complex beasts and require...

    Drip -- some exciting news

    I should have posted this a few days ago, but I have been so busy that this Easter (Orthodox Easter, is THE Easter in Bulgaria) Saturday morning is my first blogging opportunity for the whole week. I was writing an article on Drip and contacted Matthias Miller, the tool's developer, about some of the limitation of the tool that I've described here . He confirmed my findings, and while I wasn't watching he pulled some ninja coding skills and sent me a new build that detected more leaks and had none of the original limitations. It worked like a charm, and Drip...
