    CS0103: The name 'ViewBag' does not exist in the current context

    Technorati Tags: .NET,ASP.NET MVC I hit this error today while working with an MVC3 application.  It appeared out of the blue – but don’t they always?  Fortunately, I make a habit of committing my work into SVN every time my tests pass, so I could have just reverted back to my last Revision, but I wanted to know what I did to cause this. Much to my demise, the optimistic fixes didn’t work: Restart the debugger several times, because surely that will fix it :-) Close Visual Studio and reopen it. Just kidding.  But we do tend to try those don’t we? Back on topic,...

    OData Binding for Navigation Controls (ASP.NET AJAX)

    Nowadays, it is more and more common for web developers to utilize RESTfull like services in their projects. There is nothing surprising in that, since in the nature of REST is to provide uniform interface to access the data. One may ask, what uniform means at all?

    RadAsyncUpload for ASP.NET AJAX Revisited

    File API and Drag and Drop RadAsyncUpload has undergone significant changes since it's initial release back in Q1 2010. With the advent of the HTML 5 FileAPI and the updates to the XMLHttpRequest object, it is now easier than ever to utilize AJAX mechanisms when uploading files, a practice that was hardly possible prior to that. As you may have expected, RadAsyncUpload is not lagging behind these concepts and since Q2 2011 it utilizes a FileAPI module, which is now the default one under FireFox 4.0+, Safari 5+ and Google Chrome and will be used by default in the upcoming IE10. The File API module provides all functionalities provided by the other modules (multiple...

    Get Better Performing Input Fields in Your ASP.NET AJAX Apps

    As we are constantly trying to improve our controls, in Q3 2011 we are introducing new HTML rendering for Telerik’s ASP.NET AJAX Input control – single input rendering. First of all I should assure you that the old rendering is still available, so all your custom styles and complicated scenarios with RadInput will still work. Let’s check some of the advantages of the single input rendering mode comes with:  No table is used when having buttons and/or labels, which results in quicker rendering. Less HTML is rendered as a whole, which leads to less data transferred to the client. The control can show readable text when...
