    RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX SEO Paging with Routing in ASP.NET 4.0

    URL Routing with ASP.NET 4.0 has never been easier. While it was first a luxury of ASP.NET MVC, WebForms applications got routing support with .NET 3.5 SP1. With version 4.0 of the framework, setting up URL routing is now a piece of cake. For those of you who have never heard of it: URL Routing enables your application to use URLs that do not directly map to physical files, but can instead represent a user-friendlier, more descriptive, logical structure. It is not URL rewriting and not URL mapping, where these effectively restore the original physical URL of the page down the request pipe. With version 2010.Q2 of Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX,...

    Column Animations for RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX

    Coming with 2010.Q2 release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX is some eye candy for RadGrid users. In fact, never has an HTML grid been more interactive. RadGrid column animations will have your column headers fly around when you reorder columns or drag them over to the group panel. To get an idea of what column animations really are, try reordering some columns in Windows Explorer on Windows 7: What you get is a nice animation where headers move aside to make room for the dragged header. The idea is the same with RadGrid too. You drag one header to reorder the columns and the rest of the headers move...

    Breadcrumb hierarchy navigation for RadGridView

    For my first blog post I’m going to present a little pet project inspired by requests from some of our customers. And so, without further ado: The Breadcrumb is a simple control that analyzes the type of the collection found in the RadGridView’s ItemsSource property and automatically resolves data hierarchies. Usage is pretty straight-forward. Place the control anywhere you like and then connect it to the RadGridView, all in XAML. Example: <bread:Breadcrumb Grid.Row="0" Margin="5" SourceGridView="{Binding ElementName=radGrid}"/> The logic behind the type analysis algorithm is simple: represent every collection as a generic IEnumerable<> and get the type of the generic argument. So if you have an array of...

    Scroll And Slider ToolTip Extenders for RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX

    ASP.NET Extender Controls are cool. They allow you to add rich client capabilities to other server controls. The ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit is a wonderful example of unleashing the power of extenders to give regular ASP.NET server controls rich client capabilities. We tried this approach to further enrich RadGrid's otherwise quite solid set of client functionalities. The result is even richer. The sample project attached contains 2 custom extender controls that can be used with RadGrid. The two are similar in purpose, but different in usage. GridSliderToolTipExtender The GridSliderToolTipExtender is used with RadGrid's Slider pager. It provides you with a handy tooltip that is dynamically loaded over the RadSlider when you slide...

    Enable RadGridView&rsquo;s rows reorder functionality using Behaviors

    Using RadControls can boost the development process, using bunch of built-in features. However, sometimes we encountered scenarios where we need something very specific. In addition, we do want to make our custom logic encapsulated and easy reusable.  So,when this is the case,using behaviors is our best choice. In this blog I will show small example how to use the behavior power to enable row reorder functionality.     In order to enable drag and drop functionality, it simply uses our RadDragAndDropManager, giving us simple solution for the drag/drop functionality. So in order to use it and customize it we can even go the...
