    New Sample Application for ASP.NET AJAX - Telerik Store

    As a follow up to the webinar hosted by our colleague Carl Bergenhem "Build an E-Commerce ASP.NET AJAX Application", we decided to pick up from where he left the example and extend it to a fully working application incorporating RadControls and the EBay's OData feed. We loved the idea of a MetroUI based layout and introduced the new Metro Skin for RadControls, which fit the initial design with almost no customizations.

    Get Better Performing Input Fields in Your ASP.NET AJAX Apps

    As we are constantly trying to improve our controls, in Q3 2011 we are introducing new HTML rendering for Telerik’s ASP.NET AJAX Input control – single input rendering. First of all I should assure you that the old rendering is still available, so all your custom styles and complicated scenarios with RadInput will still work.

    Separate Skin Assembly in RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX with Q3'11

    Probably all of us have identified at some point the following trend in software development — newer version usually means bigger assemblies. Sure, some of the new stuff is features that we use on a daily basis; but some of the new stuff is just eye candy that we don't always use. In fact, wouldn't it be nice if we could get just the software with the default looks; get the job done then and, if needed, add that sweet UI candy to it later? And in order to tackle this problem — maintain a reasonable file size of the main Telerik...
