    Create Your Own T4 Item Template with “RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX VS Extensions” - Part 2

    In this post we will look into the properties determining the structure of the template from our last blog post. If you haven’t read that post you can check it out “Create Your Own T4 Item Template with “RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX VS Extensions” - Part 1”! The most important file to examine is “TemplateInfo.xml”.     This is the actual template and contains the declaration of the template. The “TemplateInfo.xml” file can be divided in two major parts, the “Wizard” and the “UnfoldFiles”.  The “Wizard” - node contains a number of general properties for the wizard, such as its Pages, Input...

    Deploying RadControls to Azure

    In the first part of this short series covering the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX in the cloud, I showed you how you could quickly (and easily) start a new Azure Cloud Service project, add the RadControls, and then debug the project locally. The next step, of course, is taking that locally built and debugged project and deploying it to the “real” cloud fabric, hosted by Microsoft in their data center (not yet data centers…).

    RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX on Azure (Part 1)

    Those of you paying attention to “conference news” are probably aware of Microsoft’s entrance in to the cloud computing space via their platform code-named “Windows Azure.”  This version of “Windows in the cloud” essentially makes it possible to easily build and deploy .NET web applications to Microsoft’s hosted cloud infrastructure. The benefits of deploying your application to the cloud are (potentially) many, but I am going to assume you are already aware of the key “selling points” (such as scalability, scalability, and…oh yeah, scalability). TELERIK IS CLOUD READY I’m pleased to report that Telerik is “Cloud Ready.” This is a bit of...
