    Maximum performance with minimum output using Telerik RadDatePicker client-side API

    Very often you need to use RadDatePicker inside a grid or list component and if you have lots of records the standard approach is not the best choice. Example: <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">   <MasterTableView>     <Columns>       <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="OrderDate" SortExpression="OrderDate">         <ItemTemplate>           <telerik:RadDatePicker ID="RadDatePicker1" DbSelectedDate='<%# Eval("OrderDate") %>' runat="server" />         </ItemTemplate>       </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>     </Columns>   </MasterTableView> </telerik:RadGrid> In this case you will get new date picker component for...

I even know some people who don't use any toolbars at all! In my opinion that's...

    RadWindow for Silverlight

                  My first post for the Telerik blog community is already here. After I have been part of the Silverlight team for a while, I learned that there are two ways you can get noticed here. Either you blog about some of the most interesting and top-notch stuff happening around, or you post some funny stuff on the internal newsgroups of the company. OK, I hope this post won’t make it for the newsgroups.  So lets get to the point, as our CTP2 release is underway, I am pleased to introduce one of the new controls included in the pack...

    Page Request Manager Parser Error with ASP.NET AJAX 1.0

    How many times you get this in your ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 applications? After several support tickets we manage to isolate this to very simple case - standard UpdatePanel and a Button writing in Session. How weird? Here is the code:   <%@ Page Language="VB" %> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <script runat="server">     Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)         Page.Session("test") = "test"     End Sub </script> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head runat="server">     <title></title> </head> <body>...
