    Introducing: the telePhone

    After digging around in Telerik's old Visual Source-Safe server, I found a long-forgotten prototype of a RadMenu skin. I felt the urge to disclose it to you, and hope that you will like it. the telePhone prototype On second thought, this initial draft looks good enough, so we might switch to hardware production. Don't be evil, we were first! Maybe we could even go 3G... Ok now, getting serious - you could use this sort of menu for navigating when there is a large hierarchy in the site navigation (or, to be more specific, a hierarchy that has a wide tree). Currently, no...

    Full-featured RadEditor for MOSS 5.0

    Our RadEditor for MOSS product has reached version 5.0. There are some major changes that you should know before you upgrade from version 4.x.

    RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX and validation

    Our good friend Peter Blum recently announced official support for our upcoming RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX (aka "Prometheus"). All customers that are using his Data Entry Suite will be able to integrate validation into the Telerik controls almost invisibly and without much pain and effort.    For those of you that are not familiar with Peter Blum, he is an ASP Insider and the author of the BEST set of validation controls on the market. I don't have any reservations to recommend his products as they are well done, very stable and very well documented.

    Web Resources demystified: Part 2

    “Why is my page sprinkled with links to webresource.axd?” By default RadControls (both “Classic” and “Prometheus”) utilize Web Resources to embed external files. By external files I mean the following: JavaScript files – they contain the code implementing the client-side features of the controls CSS files –they define the visual appearance of the controls Images –various GIF, JPG or PNG files used by the CSS files RadControls "Classic" embed all JavaScript files and the default skin (thoughtfully named "Default"). If you use any other skin or create your own it will be served from the location specified via the SkinsPath property ("~/RadControls/<ControlName>/Skins" by default). Reducing the number...
