Welcome back to my ongoing series on optimizing the Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. For those that are counting, this is the fifth installment in the series, so if you've missed the first four parts I suggest you go back and read them now. This article builds on some of the concepts we've covered previously, so a sound understanding of the earlier concepts is a plus. And before you get confused, you won't find the other installments on blogs.telerik.com. Up to now, this series has been running on my popular Telerik Watch blog, but going forward all installments will be...

ClickOnce is a great technology that blurs the line between web and client(windows) applications. You can use it to easily deploy windows forms and WPF (through XBAP) app's. However there is common problem with it. The application store (the place where all ClickOnce applications get stored) has the ability to corrupt it self ending in an appropriate version mix of your application. You can end up in situation where "it works on my machine", but in reality the application did not work correctly. To avoid such situation it is a good practice to clear your application store before testing the...

So much has been going on lately, I almost forgot to tell everyone about the integration application we released a while ago. We wanted to deliver an application which is built entirely with our RadControls for Winforms. However, we had to wait until the reengineered RadGridView shipped as a part of Q1 2008, in order to provide an application which integrates the latest and greatest technology we have to offer. Soon after our Q1 2008 release, which features a significantly improved grid control, we released the HelpDesk application – a sample contact management system, which uses a number of controls –...

We have updated the Telerik editor provider for Community Server to use the new RadEditor from the ASP.NET AJAX suite. The new provider is available for download from the following URL - http://blogs.telerik.com/Libraries/Stoyan_Stratev/RadEditorWrapper20080623.sflb?download=true (deployment instructions are included in the archive).   There are some major changes in the new provider.

You do not need to add a ScriptManager control on...
