Web: ASP.NET MVC

Great news everybody! With its latest version and the addition of MVC3 specific build, you can now bind the MVC Grid to a collection of dynamic objects quite easily. Note that we will be using the new Razor view engine for extra fun. Just declare the View’s model to be IEnumerable<dynamic> 1: @using Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI 2: @model IEnumerable<dynamic> 3: @( 4: Html.Telerik().Grid(Model) 5: .Name("Grid") 6: .Columns(columns...

The purpose of this blog post is to show how to incorporate RadChart for Silverlight in an ASP.NET MVC application. Manol has already shown how to do this for ASP.NET and things are not much different for ASP.NET MVC. Let’s start with a simple Silverlight application with a single RadChart. For simplicity, I will populate it with a list of numbers, you can also use any of the techniques, supported by RadChart. The code is as simple as this XAML: <telerik:RadChart x:Name="RadChart1" /> And C#: RadChart1.ItemsSource = new double[] { 3d, 4d, 6d };   I will create two write-only properties of the Silverlight user control -- ShowItemLabels and SeriesType. They are marked with  ScriptableMemberAttribute so...

This may be common knowledge but I failed to quickly find the relevant info when it hit me.

When we pushed out Telerik TV, we ran into an interesting style issue.  We were using output caching on our index page to save the server a little work.  However, sometimes when a user navigated to tv.telerik.com/home it would look like this: This problem would only manifest itself on the production server, and shockingly there were no errors! By looking at the source of the page we quickly realized that neither the StyleSheetRegistrar, nor the ScriptRegistrar were outputting anything at all.  This made it clear that the Render method on the StyleSheetRegistrar / ScriptRegistrar was not firing, or something was causing them...

We just shipped the beta of the Q2 2010 release. Download instructions for the beta can be found in the announcement forum thread. Why a beta when other Telerik products had their betas a month ago? We decided to postpone the official release of Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC so we can deliver … three five new components! The official release would ship later this summer. New Components Telerik Editor for ASP.NET MVC In its first release the editor will contain only the most necessary text editing tools. We aim to keep it small thus more complex tools (image manager, table wizard etc)...
