    r.a.d.controls and support for DotNetNuke

    DotNetNuke 4.0 was officially released about a month ago, giving a major revamp to the project, now specifically designed for .NET 2.0 and offering Visual Studio 2005 support. Although there were some inevitable glitches, in my opinion DNN 4.0 is a solid release. Porting the existing r.a.d.controls for DNN to 4.0 proved to be a straightforward task. Almost all our DNN controls compiled right away after simply replacing the old .NET 1.1 assemblies with the 2.0 ones (e.g. RadEditor.dll -> RadEditor.NET2.dll). The main task was to simplify the new distributions by taking advantage of the new functionality offered by .NET 2.0. All skinobjects and...

    r.a.d.controls Q4 2005 is out!

    The Q4 release finally went live last Friday! It was our hardest, but also our best release so far. We added 5 new controls to the suite (upload, input, calendar, window, toolbar), released major updates for r.a.d.grid and r.a.d.combobox, extended the in-built AJAX support of most products, and on top of that, we were on the front line with full support for Visual Studio 2005. Here's a link to the complete news release: http://www.telerik.com/Default.aspx?PageId=1861&b21ActiveNewsId=bBj&b21CategoryId=drh I am particularly thrilled by r.a.d.grid 3.0. and r.a.d.window. The latter offers some unique capabilities and is a great addition to the r.a.d.controls suite as it allows developers to easily build applications with...

    VS2005 RTM is buggy!

    I thought I was the only one.  I thought it was just me and that I was doing something wrong or extraordinary.  I shut up.  Now the genie is out of the bottle.  First it was Roy Osherove's frustration with VS2005.  Now, my colleague and friend Atanas forwarded Ayende Rahein's complaints and his rant about VS2005 getting in the way of TDD.  minimsft has collected a lot of other rants about all the defects that have long been known and have not been fixed for the final version. I have two problems with VS2005: Web site projects compiles are sloooow.  The r.a.d.controls suite installer packs a...

    r.a.d.telepathy

    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...

    It's time to replace FreeTextBox with r.a.d.editor in the Community Server blog engine

    Now that I entered the blogosphere, I am finding out that apart from the time spent writing the content of a blog entry, you often have to spend time to properly format the content, include code, links, images and so on. In all internal applications we are using r.a.d.editor and I've been having some real issues with the FreeTextBox control that comes with Community Server by default. Some of the things I have struggled with:- table management- link management- <P>s and <BR>s- image management (I don't like going into HTML view to add an image)- absence of a spellchecker (FreeTextBox...
