I was dealing with a forgotten [WebResource] attribute that did not have a matching resource built in the assembly and both generated a server side exception and gave browsers a 404 HTTP error.

Many of us (“us” being ASP.NET developers) probably decided to use Ajax because Telerik’s radAjax component made it very easy to add Ajax to our existing projects. We figured what the heck? Telerik makes it easy to add Ajax to my site and the boss will love to see the Ajax buzz word in my list of accomplishments. As radAjax developers, though, we often take for granted what’s actually happening under...

    radControls and ASP.NET AJAX RTM

    As some of you probably know telerik was very quick to ensure that radControls for ASP.NET are fully compatible with the official v1.0 release of ASP.NET AJAX. (The full announcement) We have had the opportunity to follow the development of this new framework quite closely and to hear a wide range of comments on the new extension for the ASP.NET platform. Historically, we have been among the pioneer control vendors to make sure that customers can take full advantage of all radControls capabilities when used in ASP.NET AJAX applications. This new client-side framework release is very important ...
