    New and Updated Demos for RadScheduler (ASP.NET AJAX) Part I

    I have provided technical support for RadScheduler since its inception and I can say that it is truly like an iceberg - the more you dive in knowing the control the more you come to appreciate its power, richness of features, potential for customization and flexibility. But what good is something if you don't know that it exists? For the Q3 2011 release, we have made a thorough review of the RadScheduler demos and realized that they show only a fraction of RadScheduler's potential. So, we have updated some old demos and added a few new ones. We will continue this practice in the future...

    RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX client-side databinding to OData services

    RadGrid's client-side databinding capabilities got boosted to a new level with the Q3 2010 release of Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX.

For those of you who have never heard, OData (short for Open Data) is a data exchange protocol that enables data transactions to be carried over standard web protocols (HTTP, Atom, and JSON). OData exposes your data over the web to a variety of consumers, building on technology that is widely adopted. With the Q3 2010 release, we have added automatic client-side databinding support for OData services. To configure RadGrid for binding to an OData service, you...
