    WPF/Everywhere, somewhere?... Anywhere?

    The last time I've heard something about WPF/e was at the Mix conference this year in Las Vegas. Because of all the noise around WPF, and some really good community sites which started showing up and were mostly dedicated to WPF, I almost forgot about WPF/e. Several days ago I searched about WPF/e and found a blog post by Joe Stegman who says that an external CTP is expected to be released soon. I've been waiting for quite some time to put my hands on WPF/e and see exactly what are its limitations comparing it to its big brother - WPF. I...

    Search Engine Optimized (SEO) grid paging

    First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to all US readers! I guess the holiday is a good occasion to announce a new feature we added to our ASP.NET grid control - Search Engine Optimized paging is finally ready. The grid will handle automatically crawlers and a special pager will be initialized in this case. The good news are the this feature can be turned on/off explicitly using PagerStyle.EnableSEOPaging and page indexes will be persisted via query strings even in multiple grids on the same page. Live example can be found @ http://betas.telerik.com/examples/seopaging/Cheers,Vlad ...

    Creating Skinnable Checkboxes

    It is a widely known fact, that form controls, and especially comboboxes, checkboxes and radiobuttons are not that flexible as the other html elements and are hardly susceptible to css skinning. Here is a simple client-side solution for checkbox skinning. The tutorial is divided into four chapters, supplied with code listings, and explaining the different parts of the control – xhtml markup, css classes, javascript, checkbox states and more. In the beginning of each chapter there is a list of reference files. Before starting, you may download the script from here.1. Considering the (X)HTML Markup Reference files: • CheckBox.html Prior to the W3C recommendations for xhtml compliance, semantics,...

    Installing r.a.d.controls on Vista and IIS7

    Vista must be getting popular these days! We've been hit with some support requests that basically sounded like "Why don't your installers create virtual folders on IIS7 under Vista?". Our installers run fine and copy all needed files, but our virtual directory creation custom task seems to have some problems with IIS7. We are yet to throw in some efforts and research the issue in greater detail, but I assume we just have to look into the new "official" way to create virtual folders and just add support for it. Until that time, you can use the IIS6 compatibility mode. This...
