Web: ASP.NET MVC

As some of you are (hopefully) aware of, our RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX work flawlessly on Windows Azure. We actually have a short blog series available here on our blogs that go through the necessary steps for creating an application (Part 1) and later deploying it (Part 2) to Windows Azure. However, do our ASP.NET MVC components work on this platform? The answer is: yes! (Note the usage of ‘!’, that’s how exciting it is!). The best thing is that the process is no more complicated than what you have to do for our RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. Note Since most of...

In my last blog post I did a quick overview of the Razor ViewEngine and showed a few examples of the new syntax working with the Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC.  If you haven’t read over the blog post yet I recommend that you do before you continue reading this one, especially if you are not familiar with the Razor ViewEngine yet. Today I wanted to take a look at a how the new Razor ViewEngine works with our Grid for ASP.NET MVC, specifically in terms of Server Hierarchy. Why just Server and not Ajax you say? Well the WebForms code...

As you may know, we just released our ASP.NET MVC extensions latest service pack. Beside the regular dose of fixes, this service release incorporates even better support of the official version of MVC3. One of those new MVC3 feature, which I want to bring to your attention, is the unobtrusive validation.   We all know how client validation from the previous version of MVC has worked; outputting a mass of JSON serialized validation rules. Although, this approach is still available, the newer one is far more pleasing. Enabled by default in the VS2010’s MVC3 project template, validation rules will be attached...

We’ve “signed off” the first service release of the Telerik Extensions (2010 Q3) just a few minutes ago and it’s on its way to you. Apart from the usual fixes this release adds full support for the new Razor view engine. The official MVC 3 release has been out only for a few days, but the interest in this new view engine is deservedly high. This view engine required some tinkering under the hood of the Extensions, but it has all been taken care of. Any issues you might have had until now (nested content rendering out of place, syntax errors in template...

We have just made a nice demo application showing how to bind Telerik Grid for ASP.NET MVC to OData using Telerik TV as OData producer. The grid supports paging, sorting and filtering using OData’s query options. To do that we implemented a helper JavaScript routine (defined in an external JavaScript file which is included in the sample project) which is used to bind the grid. Here is how the code looks like: @(Html.Telerik().Grid<TelerikTVODataBinding.Models.Video>() .Name("Grid") .Columns(columns => { columns.Bound(v => v.ImageUrl).Sortable(false).Filterable(false).Width(200).HtmlAttributes(new { style="text-align:center" }); ...
