    Using Silverlight Upload control with ASP.NET MVC

    [Download the complete final project] We got a customer inquiry today about how to integrate the Telerik Silverlight Upload control within an ASP.NET MVC site.

These are the steps that need to be followed: 1. Create an ASP.NET MVC site: 2....

    Using Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC within an ASP.NET WebForms application

    If you really, really like the new and shiny extensions, you can use them in your WebForms application, too! Here are the needed steps: Add references to the following assemblies: System.Web.Abstractions System.Web.Routing System.Web.Mvc Telerik.Web.Mvc The first three are usually in the GAC. Copy the Content and Scripts folders from the extensions’ distribution into your project. The pages which will contain the MVC components will need to inherit System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage.

    Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC now support ASP.NET MVC2 RC

    As many of you know yesterday ASP.NET MVC 2 RC was released. We did our best to make Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC compatible with that release and I am glad to announce that you can now download the updated bits from here (open source) or here (licensed). Changes There are a few things that changed: We are now producing two dll files – one for ASP.NET MVC 1 and one for ASP.NET MVC 2. The files differ only in their version: For ASP.NET MVC 1 applications you should use Binaries\Mvc1\Telerik.Web.Mvc.dll. Its assembly version ends with 135 (which means MVC v1 .NET...

    Using ViewModel objects to improve the Ajax performance of Telerik Grid for ASP.NET MVC

    In this blog post I will demonstrate how to squeeze the most from Telerik Grid for ASP.NET MVC when using Ajax binding. Lets start with a simple grid bound to the Northwind Orders table: View: <%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<IEnumerable<UsingDto.Models.Order>>" %><asp:Content ID="indexTitle" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server"> Home Page</asp:Content><asp:Content ID="indexContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server"><%= Html.Telerik().Grid(Model) .Name("Grid") .Columns(columns => { columns.Add(o => o.OrderID).Width(100); columns.Add(o => o.Customer.ContactName).Width(200); ...

    Using Telerik Grid for ASP.NET MVC without any server-side code

    Since all Telerik UI components for ASP.NET MVC are actually jQuery plugins one can use them without any server-side code (or ASP.NET MVC). In this blog post I will show how to use the grid and bind it to Twitter. Here are the required steps:   Register the two CSS files to style the grid: <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="telerik.common.min.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="telerik.vista.min.css" /> </head> Then add the JavaScript files: ...
