    IMS London 2008 – First European Thrills for Sitefinity

    … And surely not the last ones! This massive event on content management and Web 2.0 technologies gave us the chance to see the way a conference goes in Europe. We were definitely not disappointed – the event was huge, all of the usual suspects were there of course :) It turned to be a very interesting experience – our staff at the booth quickly learned that the approach here should be different – the audience primarily consisted of business users who were not exactly into coding; the attendees seemed to be more reserved and shy when approaching the exhibitors;...

On the right side of the window click the "Turn Windows features on or off" link and a dialog will open: Installing required features You can select and check the Internet Information Services feature.

    RadMessageBox for WinForms

    Hello folks. I am sure all of us are enjoying with Telerik’s good looking and reach theming mechanism for WinForms. But in every application there is a need for user interaction and very often it uses some type of question or message to guide the user what he is supposed to do.   I am sure that you have used the default WinForms MessageBox class and its Show method  The standard appearance of this message box, however, does not fit nicely in the slick design of an application built with RadControls for WinForms, and I know how boring it is to implement your own...
