Release

It’s that time of the year again and we’re getting ready for the next quarterly release here at telerik. This time we have a major visual update coming for the ASP.NET product line. Almost all skins will get a refresh – some a minor QA to bring back to original designs, others a more thorough facelift. Wanted to get back to you even before the beta release next week with a sneak view of what’s coming so you can have your say. Here’s the major planned changes in skinning: Black skin preserves its general look only gets a bit less….well,...

As you most probably know (see Falafel Releases Telerik Trainer At TechEd 2008, Telerik Trainer Sneak Preview) we have been working on a new training tool for Telerik products. Telerik Trainer is a state of the art learning tool which we have produced together with our great partners at Falafel Software.   You can now get your hands on the Telerik Trainer at: http://www.telerik.com/support/teleriktrainer.aspx (signing in required). We are initially releasing a total of 27 training sessions (for RadControls ASP.NET AJAX and Telerik Reporting) and we plan to regularly add more tutorials for all Telerik Products. Telerik Trainer is an important milestone in our...

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. I will list them here: 1. ScriptManager - since the new editor is built on top of the Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX Extensions, it requires that the System.Web.Extensions.dll assembly is either in the bin folder of the CommunityServer web site or in the machine's GAC. You do not need to add a ScriptManager control on...
