    Meet the Visual Style Builder CTP

    It's alive. Before anything else, it's a preview, so it may burn you. You've been warned! Colorization Surprise, surprise! I hope you didn't see that one coming. I've had a hard time keeping the secret... Every color that you may desire. By moving a humble slider that rotates the color wheel. Simple as that. And if you don't know what you're looking for, there's a "surprise me!" "randomize" button, just to make your life easier.

    Executing JavaScript function from server-side code

    This is a pretty common scenario when working with WebForms. There are many ways to achieve the desired result, but they have one thing in common – you should make sure that the controls are fully loaded in the page before trying to get a reference to them and use them in your JavaScript code. In ASP.NET it is pretty straightforward to do that. For example you could use a label: ASPX <head runat="server">     <title>Untitled Page</title>     <script type="text/javascript">     function calledFn()     {         alert("code fired");      }     </script> </head> <body>     <form id="form1" runat="server">         <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Run JavaScript Code" OnClick="Button1_Click" />         <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server"></asp:Label>    ...

    Integrating RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX with the WIRIS family of products

    We have received several requests to integrate a formula editor for RadEditor or allow editing of MathML. The wonderful guys at WIRIS(http://www.wiris.com/) have the right tools for this job so we decided to post an example of the WIRIS formula editor and CAS working as RadEditor dialogs.   A couple of words about the formula editor - it uses a Java applet so be sure to have the Java plugin installed in your browser. We used the basic ASPX demo that WIRIS offers as a base for our integration example. The demo can be seen here - http://www.wiris.eu/demo-aspx/pluginwiris/generic/. There are two editors...

    Web 2.0 font sizes with RadInput

    If you’ve spent much time visiting “web 2.0” sites, you know that large font sizes are totally “in vogue” for data entry forms. Not only are they easy for all audiences to read, but they also imply a certain level of simplicity on a website. In fact, there are even some UX experts suggesting larger font sizes are better now that high-resolution monitors are the norm and not the exception. If you’ve got a “beautifully designed” web 2.0-style site, though, and you’re working with RadInput, you know that the default skins “force” their own font size. What do you do if you...
