    Enabling Asp.net development on Vista 64

    Well as I figured it out it was not a complicated thing, but there are some specifics of course: Installing IIS By default IIS7 is included in the distribution (I use the Enterprise edition of Windows Vista), but is not installed by default. To do so open ControlPanel > Programs and Features. On the right side of the window click the "Turn Windows features on or off" link and a dialog will open: Installing required features You can select and check the Internet Information Services feature. By default not everything required gets selected. You have to check also the Internet Information Services>World Wide Web Services>Security>...

    Optimize your ASP.NET data entry validation

    With RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q3 2008 we introduced our brand new component called RadInputManager. You can find more info about this unique control on following articles: Introducing the RadInputManager control for ASP.NET AJAX Using Regular Expression TextBox Using RadInputManager RadInputManager First Look I've made small demo to check how the input manager will perform compared to standard validation approach in ASP.NET and here is the result: - RadInputManager: 200 standard TextBox controls with skins (hover, focus, empty, negative, enabled/disabled, read-only & invalid styles), in-place validation and formatting and many more.   - Standard Validation controls: Huge render size & JavaScript, no in-place validation (only on...

    Taming Ajaxified asp:HiddenField Controls in Internet Explorer

    If you are using asp:HiddenField controls (rendered as <input type="hidden" />) in your website and update their values with AJAX requests, you may observe some unexpected changes in the page layout in Internet Explorer (IE).

The behavior is observed only in IE and looks like a problem caused by the browser or the MS AJAX client-side framework. A quite easy workaround for this glitch is to wrap the HiddenField in a container with no height and reduced font size. Here is an...

    How To: Export grid to PDF file and show the result using the window

    I've made small demo how to export the grid content to a PDF file and show the result using RadWindow: When you click the "Export" button in RadToolBar the page will be reloaded and if the export is successful the application will open RadWindow to show the exported file. Initially the "Delete" button is disabled however once the window is shown the button will be enabled. To delete the exported file you can click the "Delete" button or just close the window.

    Easily persist RadTabStrip Selected Tab using client-side API

    While working on a recent "real" project for Telerik, I used the RadTabStrip for ASP.NET AJAX to provide users with a list of content they could navigate. It was simple enough. A RadTabStrip with a few tabs, a RadMultiPage holding each tab's content, and content on each pageview that linked to new pages in the website. With very little effort, I had a rich, tabbed interface that worked completely cross browser. But then during beta testing, a tester reported a bug: if they navigated to a new page by clicking on content in the TabStrip, then clicked their browser's back button,...
