    Un-Breaking the Back Button

    I often see developers (myself included) get frustrated when Ajax and the browser back button don't play nice together. The fact is, they have never really worked together and having the ability to use one means you have to sacrifice the other. But what if you want both? Let's take a look at why in the past we have not been able to have these features together and what we can do now to get them. Back in the "olden days" of the Internet each web page was a stateless, static entity. With the advent of new web frameworks like ASP.NET...

The method is recursive and will locate all child ISkinableControls to set selected Skin. Other possible approach is "Global skin setting for the entire web site/web application project" however in this case the skin registration is static. Live Demo | ...

    Some RadToolTip tips & tricks

    I wrote this blog post together with our support officer Svetlina, who is in charge of answering tickets submitted for RadToolTip, RadSplitter and RadWindow.

    Maximum performance with minimum output using Telerik RadDatePicker client-side API

    Very often you need to use RadDatePicker inside a grid or list component and if you have lots of records the standard approach is not the best choice. Example: <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">   <MasterTableView>     <Columns>       <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="OrderDate" SortExpression="OrderDate">         <ItemTemplate>           <telerik:RadDatePicker ID="RadDatePicker1" DbSelectedDate='<%# Eval("OrderDate") %>' runat="server" />         </ItemTemplate>       </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>     </Columns>   </MasterTableView> </telerik:RadGrid> In this case you will get new date picker component for...
