    Meet the RadRotator’s Cousin, the RadTicker for ASP.NET AJAX

    I recently posted an in-depth look at the RadRotator for ASP.NET AJAX. I feel it appropriate to follow-up that post with a discussion about another oft-overlooked control in Telerik’s ASP.NET AJAX suite, the RadTicker. The RadTicker is closely related to the RadRotator for ASP.NET AJAX, but boasts its own unique functionality. Whereas the RadRotator is best suited for richer content, such as images and HTML markup, the RadTicker is designed specifically to display text. The RadTicker uses client script to display a single character of text in a given interval, simulating a “typewriter” effect. While it has many of the same...

    Paying Homage to the RadRotator for ASP.NET

    The RadRotator is a control that is easily overlooked in the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX suite. It is not one of the more compelling controls like the RadGrid or the RadEditor, but it certainly provides a key set of functionality that is important in order for Telerik to claim that our suite is the most complete ASP.NET AJAX suite on the market. I’d like to take some time to show you what we have done to make the RadRotator a control that makes it easy for you, dear developer, to add rich functionality to your web applications. Overview The RadRotator for ASP.NET AJAX is...

    Simplifying OpenAccess Scope in ASP.NET with HttpModule

    Whenever you start working with a modern ORM tool, one of the biggest challenges is figuring out how to manage the "scope" (or sometimes called "context" or "data context"). It is this transactional space where the ORM tool keeps track of changes being made to "persistent objects" in your application so that they can be saved to your "persistence layer" (usually a database) when you're ready to commit them. But figuring out when to create a scope, when to close it, and all the annoying problems that result from closing a scope too early can be very frustrating, and they...

    RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX are now compatible with DotNetNuke 5.0.0

    At the very end of 2008, the DotNetNuke Corporation released a new major version of their web application framework - DNN 5.0.0. Our modules and skinobject PAs were not compatible with the new release because of a change in DotNetNuke's handling of files and subfolders in the PA archive. With the new RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX service pack release (2008.3.1314), we updated our DNN resources to be compatible with the 5.0.0 installer. The new build of the RadControls modules and skinobjects for DotNetNuke can be used in version 5 and 4 as well. If you find an issue with the...
