    I'm back online - Another blog to follow

    Hello all! It has been quite a while since I last posted on the official Telerik Blogs. The reasons and excuses range from technical problems to unbelievable busyness, but I won't bore you with them here. What is important is that I've restored my connectivity to the Telerik Blogs and I fully intend to begin making regular updates here in the future. If you purged this blog from your feed readers in my absence, be sure to re-add it so you won't miss a thing. In the mean time, while I haven't been active on these blogs, I haven't been absent from the...

    How To: Format RadGrid PDFs

    On Monday, I showed you some the new settings in RadGrid 5 the enable you to control certain aspects exported PDFs. We looked at how you can easily set the PDF's metadata, change its filename, and even control the PDF's security settings. All of these settings- along with the ability to force the PDF to open in a new window- can be set with a single property in the Grid's new ExportSettings configuration block.

    RadEditor Prometheus up to 76 percent faster

    For months now we have been talking about the new RadEditor being built in the "Prometheus" suite and how it is going to be the best version of RadEditor to date. Today an early preview of that work was released in the "Prometheus" Futures build and made available for general testing in the Telerik community. Obviously, the version that was released today looks a lot different from the final version that will be released- dialogues are still rough, features are unpolished, and some features are missing- but it is still a great look at what's coming. Today I ran the RadEditor Futures release build through...

    Ultimate .NET Credit Card Utility Class

    Have you ever thought about processing credit cards in your .NET application? If you have, then you know one of the first things you need to do is find some code to validate that credit card numbers entered by your users appear correct before you send them along to your payment processor. Having created applications in the past that process credit cards, I know that this task can be surprisingly harder than it should be. There are plenty of code snippets scattered across the 'Nets that show you how to do individual parts of the validating process, but there are few...
