    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

My favorite is RadDateInput as it posed...

    Security: JSON Hijacking and the telerik web controls

    I have been too slow to get to this! The security experts at Fortify Software have recently discovered a new Web 2.0-specific security vulnerability that may affect some sites passing JSON-encoded data to the client, and I got some nudges from both coworkers and customers to investigate this deeper. So, what is this vulnerability all about? In short, you have to be extra careful when using HTTP GET requests to stream JSON-encoded data to the client. You may be thinking that you are using ASP.NET's authentication mechanism and you are conveniently hidden behind the session and forms authentication cookie, but that may not be...
