    Deploying RadControls to Azure

    In the first part of this short series covering the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX in the cloud, I showed you how you could quickly (and easily) start a new Azure Cloud Service project, add the RadControls, and then debug the project locally. The next step, of course, is taking that locally built and debugged project and deploying it to the “real” cloud fabric, hosted by Microsoft in their data center (not yet data centers…). That is where the rubber meets the proverbial road and we find out if the Telerik RadControls are really “cloud ready.” HOW DO YOU DEPLOY TO AZURE? Assuming you’ve built a...

    RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX on Azure (Part 1)

    Those of you paying attention to “conference news” are probably aware of Microsoft’s entrance in to the cloud computing space via their platform code-named “Windows Azure.”  This version of “Windows in the cloud” essentially makes it possible to easily build and deploy .NET web applications to Microsoft’s hosted cloud infrastructure. The benefits of deploying your application to the cloud are (potentially) many, but I am going to assume you are already aware of the key “selling points” (such as scalability, scalability, and…oh yeah, scalability). TELERIK IS CLOUD READY I’m pleased to report that Telerik is “Cloud Ready.” This is a bit of...

    Easy appointment styling with RadScheduler for ASP.NET AJAX

    Say you've assigned a resource to an appointment and you want to make it visually distinctive from the rest.  The resource can be anything - room, status, priority and so on. Until the Q1'09 release this required writing some code, but not any more. You can now define a set of resource filters that will apply a CSS class when a match is found. For example: <telerik:RadScheduler runat="server" ID="RadScheduler1" ...> <ResourceStyles> <telerik:ResourceStyleMapping Type="Calendar" Text="Development" ApplyCssClass="rsCategoryGreen" /> <telerik:ResourceStyleMapping Type="Calendar" Text="Marketing" ApplyCssClass="rsCategoryRed" /> <telerik:ResourceStyleMapping Type="Calendar" Text="Work" ApplyCssClass="rsCategoryOrange" /> </ResourceStyles></telerik:RadScheduler> .csharpcode, .csharpcode pre { font-size: small; color: black; font-family: consolas, "Courier New", courier, monospace; background-color: #ffffff; /*white-space: pre;*/ } .csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; } .csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; } .csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; } .csharpcode .str { color: #006080; } .csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; } .csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; } .csharpcode .asp { background-color: #ffff00; } .csharpcode .html { color: #800000; } .csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000; } .csharpcode .alt { background-color: #f4f4f4; width: 100%; margin: 0em; } .csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; } You can match resource's type, key and/or text. All matching rules will be applied. For your convenience, we've included a number of predefined styles: rsCategoryBlue...

    How To: Use WCF services with ASP.NET AJAX databound controls

    As you know RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX controls fully leverage .NET 3.5 and come with built-in support for LINQ, LinqToSQL, EntityDataSource, ADO.NET DataServices, and WCF Web Service. With Q1 2009 our online examples feature .NET 3.5 examples for all databound controls (Grid, Scheduler, ComboBox, Menu, TreeView, PanelBar). In this post I will guide you through the process of creating a RadComboBox which loads its items on demand using WCF services. This will be a step by step tutorial, but if you are familiar with the process you can jump directly to the online demo. The steps below show how to load the items of RadComboBox...

    XML Syntax Rules

    All XML Elements Must Have a Closing Tag In HTML, you will often see elements that don't have a closing tag:  <p>This is a paragraph  <p>This is another paragraph    In XML, it is illegal to omit the closing tag. All elements must have a closing tag: <p>This is a paragraph</p>  <p>This is another paragraph</p>        Note: You might have noticed from the previous example that the XML declaration did not have a closing tag. This is not an error. The declaration is not a part of the XML document itself, and it has no closing tag. XML Tags are Case Sensitive XML elements are defined using XML tags. XML tags are case sensitive. With XML, the tag <Letter> is different from the...
