Boy, did I have fun this morning... Here's what we received as a feature request from a customer:"I would like such a control for my clients that will make them understand that consulting on how to do projects is not free and that they should expect a bill when they get a solution, whether verbal or delivered. Could you create a control that I could embed in my correspondence and web projects that would change their ethical thinking? I am thinking r.a.d.Morality is a good name for it. Of course, you can wait until you have completed r.a.d.Telepathy as there is more demand...

One of the most common questions we are getting in the last couple of months is - "What will you be releasing in Q4"? For a number of reasons our typical answer has been - “It's going to be one of the best releases ever! Don’t waste time, buy a r.a.d.controls subscription license, and get the updates for free”.

Enable or...

Hi. My name is Atanas Korchev and I am a Product Manager here at telerik. I am involved in the development of r.a.d.controls MCMS Edition and r.a.d.editor SharePoint Edition. On this blog I will be sharing my experience with Microsoft SPS and WSS and Microsoft Content Management Server 2002, as well as anything else I find interesting. So here it goes… My first entry is about packaging resources for web parts. Web parts are deployed in most cases as CAB (Microsoft cabinet) files. A developer needs to package all web part files (manifest.xml, dwp files, assemblies or anything else) in a single cab file and distribute it. That file is then...
