    RadChart: AutoLayout

    Hello, We have been quite busy lately here in the Charting Labs and I would like to draw your attention on another slick feature we are adding to the Charting toolset -- RadChart AutoLayout. The AutoLayout functionality instructs the control to perform out-of-the-box layout arrangement that provides optimal utilization of the whole chart area and ensures that all chart elements are fully readable and do not overlap with one another. Here are a few samples that illustrate the described functionality: AutoLayout calculates the necessary space for all elements so they are fully readable and not clipped (notice the axis item labels --...

    RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX and validation

    Our good friend Peter Blum recently announced official support for our upcoming RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX (aka "Prometheus"). All customers that are using his Data Entry Suite will be able to integrate validation into the Telerik controls almost invisibly and without much pain and effort.    For those of you that are not familiar with Peter Blum, he is an ASP Insider and the author of the BEST set of validation controls on the market. I don't have any reservations to recommend his products as they are well done, very stable and very well documented.

    Squeezing the last millisecond from the page load time

    Hi, my name is Erjan Gavalji. I am a developer in the ASP.NET division at Telerik. I am new to blogging, but I hope the topics I present will be of a real use. RadControls for ASP.NET provide rich client-side functionality and nice look trough a number of external files - JavaScript code and CSS definitions. Those resources are registered through <script> or <link> tags and are downloaded by the browser. Part of the client-side code in RadControls “Prometheus” is shared between all controls. It is contained in a different file to prevent downloading it multiple times when several controls coexist in a...

    Standard Compliant RadInput With No Tables

    By popular demand, some Telerik web controls such as RadInput behave like inline-block elements, i.e. they do not force new lines on the page and at the same time, they obey width, height and other block-level-specific CSS properties. In addition, RadInput supports a scenario in which several HTML elements (Label, TextBox and a Button) occupy a preset amount of space, without calculating and changing these elements' widths with Javascript on the client. Unfortunately, all these requirements cannot be met with the current browser CSS support and CSS specification. That's why some of the features and functionalities are implemented at the cost of compromising web standards - we use some...

    Licensing for RadControls "Prometheus" for ASP.NET

    It seems that despite our best efforts to educate customers, we haven't done a great job at letting everyone know that: When you buy a RadControls for ASP.NET license, with subscription or not, you get a matching license for "Prometheus" controls and you can download the developer build of the controls from your Client.net account. It is up to you to decide whether you want to use the classic controls or the "Prometheus" ones. Everyone who buys an ASP.NET Subscription or a subscription license for the all-inclusive SKU (which includes all UI components for web and desktop development plus Telerik Reporting) gets "Prometheus" as a...
