    Telerik Wins Six STC Awards

    Encode and Decode URI(Uniform Resource Identifier) using JavaScript

    The current article is taken from https://developer.mozilla.org/ In some scenarios it is useful to encode and decode the URI. For example: To avoid unexpected requests to the server, you should call encodeURIComponent on any user-entered parameters that will be passed as part of a URI. For example, a user could type "Thyme &time=again" for a variable comment. Not using encodeURIComponent on this variable will give comment=Thyme%20&time=again. Note that the ampersand and the equal sign mark a new key and value pair. So instead of having a POST comment key equal to "Thyme &time=again", you have two POST keys, one equal to "Thyme " and another...

    "The strange case of Adobe Acrobat" or why do images in Telerik Reports get fuzzy when exported to PDF

    First, I would like to wish you all Happy New Year! Hope it brings you everything you have asked for! Now up to today's words (post) of wisdom: In the last couple of days a few people reported that images placed in Telerik Report, which normally look ok, start looking fuzzy when exported to PDF. We got scared for two reasons:  This has not been reported prior to our latest release We've introduced new rendering mechanism in the latest release When you combine those, you cannot help but feel that we have somehow messed things up. Fortunately, after a quick investigation, the problem proved...
