    RadCallback vs. RadAjax vs. 'Prometheus' Ajax

    (Cross posted content from Telerik Watch) For many of you, your excitement for the new "Prometheus" Ajax is tempered by your well grounded caution for what will be involved in moving to the new Ajax Framework. Many of you, like me, remember the work done to upgrade our applications about a year ago when RadAjax replaced RadCallback. It took me a little more than a year to replace all instances of RadCallback controls in some of my larger projects, so I know this can be a long process and a good reason to pause when the next Telerik Ajax is introduced. Thankfully, the transition to "Prometheus" Ajax from RadAjax is...

    Who says the web can't be interactive?

    Three days ago we made the biggest release so far in the history of Telerik.

    Prometheus, brother of Atlas

    (Cross posted from Telerik Watch)One of the big secrets revealed by the Quest is the introduction of a new ASP.NET product line from Telerik code named "Prometheus". In Greek mythology, Prometheus is famous for bringing fire to the people and beginning an age of enlightenment for man. And in a way, that's exactly what the RadControls based on ASP.NET AJAX will do for ASP.NET developers. RadControls "Prometheus" will deliver new controls, experiences, and performance improvements based on the OpenAjax-enrolled Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX client-side framework. Also fitting, in Greek mythology Prometheus' brother is Atlas (usually represented as the guy holding the earth on his shoulders). As you may remember, the code name...

    Ribbon UI for RadControls for...ASP.NET

    (Cross posted content for Telerik Watch)That's right. Office 2007 Ribbon UI for ASP.NET. In what is the absolute best implementation of the Ribbon UI I have seen on the web to date, Russel Masson has contributed an outstanding project to the Telerik Code Library. The project, which will likely become a Telerik Open Source Project soon, provides everything you need to implement the Office 2007 Ribbon UI in an ASP.NET application. The project includes a number of custom Ribbon controls built by Russel that work closely with the Telerik RadControls to work their magic. You must check out the online demo to understand the quality of this implementation....

    RadInput 2.0 and Date Parsing: Where Compiler Theory Meets User Needs

    Todd beat me to releasing details on our Q1_2007 release, but here it is again: we are finally releasing an update to the RadInput product: RadInput 2.0!!! The new version will include three brand new controls: RadTextBox: a nice, skinnable <asp:TextBox> replacement control that will help you build slick-looking applications; RadNumericTextBox: a textbox control, specifically created for numeric data entry: think quantities, currency, percentages; RadDateInput: a completely rewritten version of the v1.x RadDateInput control that takes a different approach to date entry. My favorite is RadDateInput as it posed...
