    RadWindow for Silverlight

                  My first post for the Telerik blog community is already here. After I have been part of the Silverlight team for a while, I learned that there are two ways you can get noticed here. Either you blog about some of the most interesting and top-notch stuff happening around, or you post some funny stuff on the internal newsgroups of the company. OK, I hope this post won’t make it for the newsgroups.  So lets get to the point, as our CTP2 release is underway, I am pleased to introduce one of the new controls included in the pack...

    Page Request Manager Parser Error with ASP.NET AJAX 1.0

    How many times you get this in your ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 applications? After several support tickets we manage to isolate this to very simple case - standard UpdatePanel and a Button writing in Session. How weird? Here is the code:   <%@ Page Language="VB" %> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <script runat="server">     Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)         Page.Session("test") = "test"     End Sub </script> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head runat="server">     <title></title> </head> <body>...

    Optimizing the load size of Telerik Silverlight controls

    Following the expansion of our Silverlight suite (more than 15 controls coming out next week) and the feedback we’ve got from the community, we are now in a process of optimizing the size of the assemblies. Instead of including all our controls into one big assembly, we decided to group them into several smaller ones. This will reduce the size of the XAP file when you are not using all the controls in the suite. We came up with the following list of assemblies: Telerik.Windows.UI.dll Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation.dll Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input.dll Telerik.Windows.Controls.Web.dll Apart from this list there will be assemblies that hold the themes of the controls - e.g. separate assemblies for the Telerik, Vista and Default themes.   I...

    Catching up with ASP.NET MVC

    I wouldn't normally consider myself an early adopter. In fact, I prefer the 'tried and true' to the 'hip and new', especially when it comes to software development. However, that doesn't mean I should keep my head in the sand. While I might not always live on the bleeding edge of .NET development, I should definitely be aware of what's going on there. With that goal in mind, I'm going to dedicate a series of posts specifically to looking at the new ASP.NET MVC framework. ASP.NET MVC was introduced last October at the ALT.NET conference and Preview 3 is readily available...

    New features in RadComboBox, RadTreeView, RadUpload and RadScheduler

    Hi all, In this blog post I will show you some of the new features of RadComboBox, RadTreeView, RadUpload and RadScheduler which will appear in our Q2 2008 release. First I will introduce you with a cool new RadComboBox feature. Did you become a Telerik fan on Facebook yet? If not you can do so by going to http://telerikwatch.com/2008/06/become-official-telerik-fan.html. The reason I am talking about Facebook is that the new filtering functionality of RadCombobox works quite similarly.   To enable this new feature you will need to set the Filter property to either one of the 3 different modes –None, Contains and StartsWith. Here's what they mean:    ...
