    Legal-ese demystified, part 2!

    So, picking up where we left off yesterday...  Not too long ago, I received a question regarding our licensing policies, specifically section 3-1 in which we state: "Telerik does not provide technical support for modified source code" Which, to the customer, seemed a bit odd considering we do offer such useful tidbits in our documentation like how to inherit a RadGrid column, albeit with a disclaimer at the bottom reminding people about our support stance on modified source, which this would then fall into. This puts us into a little gray area that requires some explanation- namely, why provide info on inheriting...

    Getting Started with RadGridView for WPF - Webinar

    Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to present a webinar discussing the RadGridView for WPF.  The control was built from the ground-up to take advantage of the WPF platform and the .NET 3.5 framework.  RadGridView for WPF represents the next generation in flexible data presentation controls you need to build powerful line of business applications. In the webinar, I provided an overview of RadGridView to help you understand all of its capabilities.

With this release, we are introducing 3 techniques to significantly reduce page loading time and to provide better user experience. The unique RadCompression module allows you to compress the entire Web Service traffic in a completely codeless manner, resulting in smaller data transfer and better performance of your...

    Legal-ese demystified

    Hello Everyone! I'd like to begin by introducing myself to the Telerik Blog scene. My name is Evan Hutnick and I work as a Developer Support Consultant in our US Sales office. I began here back in September of 2008 and have been on a fast-track to learning everything about Telerik. But what does a Developer Support Consultant do, besides sound flashy? More or less, I'm one of the first lines of defense in the sales office for any sort of technical questions we receive. As a developer in my spare time, I've used Telerik controls (albeit only as a...

    RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX receive a major face-lift!

    lifting (noun) Face-lifting or face-lift is the plastic surgery for tightening facial tissues and improving the facial appearance. Q1 2009 Beta. RadControls just underwent a serious “surgical” intervention, cutting deep into the skin – removing excess CSS, streamlining look & feel across controls, adding transparent .PNG to replace .GIFs, you name it. For a taste of things to come, here is a link to our new Web Mail demo, and its source. You can also check the screenshots below.   Two complete skins were rolled out for the beta – namely a brand new (and color neutral) Default skin, as well as Vista. Another...
