    Optimization Tip: RadCompression for ViewState

    A few weeks ago, I showed you how you can use the new RadCompression HttpModule found in the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q3 2008 SP2 (and later) to easily (as in, automatically) compress your Ajax and JSON web service communication. While that technique is great for improving the performance of modern web apps that do lots of processing client-side, that’s not the only thing RadCompression can do. It can also automatically compress ViewState! This week, I’ll show you how you can quickly enable ViewState compression and show you the effects it has on overall ViewState size and server performance. HOW DO I ENABLE...

    Handling OnAjaxRequest in Content Pages with Ajax Proxy

    Here’s a quick tip for those of you using RadAjaxManager and RadAjaxManagerProxy. The scenario:   You have a MasterPage with a RadAjaxManager and a ContentPage with a RadAjaxManagerProxy (so far, so good, and you’re following Telerik’s best practice guidance). All declarative Ajax settings work fine with the Proxy- no trouble. But now you want fire an Ajax event on your ContentPage manually using JavaScript and handle the AjaxRequest event on the server. You’re shocked to discover there is no “AjaxRequest” event for the RadAjaxManagerProxy! What’s the solution?   Fortunately, the solution is easy. The RadAjaxManagerProxy is designed to make it easy to configure Ajax...

    Telerik on Windows 7 Beta – The Complete Overview

    For those of you that follow my TelerikWatch blog, you know that I recently made the jump to Windows 7 on my primary workstation (build 7000, to be exact). I’ve spent the weekend installing, tweaking, and testing the latest iteration of Windows, and like Vassil before me, my impressions are generally positive. Microsoft has definitely worked hard to ensure the compatibility nightmares of the XP to Vista jump are not repeated with Windows 6.1 7. I’m confident I’ll be able to use Windows 7- even in beta form- reliably as my full-time OS from this point forward. As far as Telerik is...

    The many localizations of RadEditor and RadSpell

    Did you know that there over 25 localized versions of RadSpell's dictionaries (30, to be exact)? Did you know there are over 10 localizations of RadEditor? When you're building a global site, you often need to support a number of languages, and thanks to Telerik's outstanding community, we are able to offer a huge range of localizations for the RadControls- especially those controls which depend heavily on localized strings. Not all controls require localizations- a RadSlider or ColorPicker, for example, communicate their UI without any built-in strings. Even controls like RadGrid don't have much need for localization. Other controls- like...

    Optimization Tips: RadInput vs. RadInputManager

    In the Q3 2008 release, Telerik introduced a new control to the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX suite called RadInputManager. Like RadInput, it is designed to enable you to provided textboxes to your users that give real-time validation and feedback based on the entered text. The big difference with RadInputManager, though, is that you don't have to add lots of Telerik Input controls on your page to get this real-time feedback. Instead, you can quickly convert "standard" ASP.NET TextBoxes to RadInput textboxes via the RadInputManager configuration- similar to how you can use RadAjaxManager to quickly ajaxify your page without littering it with...
