    Filtering Options for Your Telerik ASP.NET AJAX PivotGrid

    RadPivotGrid’s development is gathering momentum and Q3 brings along a major improvement: our pivot grid control for Asp.Net Ajax already comes equipped with a powerful filtering mechanism.

    Easily Generate QR Codes with Telerik’s ASP.NET AJAX Barcode Control

    A typical scenario is for someone to browse a website on his computer, and then to wish to open a link of the site on his cellphone. It would be easier for the person to open it, if it’s encoded as an image that the phone can directly read, because smartphones cannot understand human readable text, but most of them can read images, called QR codes. What are QR (Quick Response) codes and how are they used? The QR is a two-dimensional code. It looks like a matrix which consists of black square dots (modules) on a white background.
