The Ajax Papers Part I: The Intro and the Basics. Download formatted PDF version for easy reading. Ajax. We’ve all heard of it and most of us have already started to use it. Many of us (“us” being ASP.NET developers) probably decided to use Ajax because Telerik’s radAjax component made it very easy to add Ajax to our existing projects. We figured what the heck? Telerik makes it easy to add Ajax to my site and the boss will love to see the Ajax buzz word in my list of accomplishments. As radAjax developers, though, we often take for granted what’s actually happening under...

With the pending release of the Telerik Reporting product (should go live by the end of March) and forthcoming price tag on the Windows Forms UI controls, many customers asked what do we plan to do with those two product lines and what existing customers will get. Some good news for existing customers – all Subscription holders WILL get updates for Windows Forms and Reporting AT NO COST till their subscription expires. That is, our system will assume that you have an all-inclusive license (that is, a license which includes ASP.NET and Windows Forms UI Controls and Reporting). Like every great deal,...

Since we released the first version of our Windows Forms UI controls we've received quite a lot of questions about our plans for WPF. Basically the questions revolve around the following: - Is Telerik going to offer products for WPF? - When will they be public? - What controls will be included? Most of you probably know the answer to the first question and is an unequivocal “Yes”! Even though there are some misconceptions that WPF is good only for displaying cool things on the sides of a rotating cube, we believe that even in its current form it offers a lot to build upon....

As promised earlier, here are the slides and the sample code from my WebDD talk.The code builds an image slide show control and an extender that will zoom its target in on mouse hover and zoom out on mouse unhover doing that with a fancy animation stolen from the AJAX Control Toolkit. Some info that you may find useful when reading the code in no particular order:The ScriptControls project is the real control library. It contains the JavaScript and server-side controls and is being used by some of the pages in the demo site (ImageSlideShowServer, ImageSlideShowUpdatePanel, HoverZoomExtender).The DemoSite project is well... a...
