    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:    ...

    RadGrid Client Data Binding And ADO.Net DataServices example

    With the release of the .Net 3.5 SP1 Beta more and more people have started to ask us if the RadGrid for ASP.NET Ajax supports binding to ADO.Net DataServices. And what is the answer, you may have asked yourself? Yes it does! To demonstrate this I have updated one of  Vlad's well-known client data binding examples. As you may notice there are only a few changes to the code, mostly the parts where the web service calls are concerned.   Download the example.

    Optimization Tips: Optimizing Custom Skins

    Welcome back to my ongoing series on optimizing the Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. For those that are counting, this is the fifth installment in the series, so if you've missed the first four parts I suggest you go back and read them now. This article builds on some of the concepts we've covered previously, so a sound understanding of the earlier concepts is a plus. And before you get confused, you won't find the other installments on blogs.telerik.com. Up to now, this series has been running on my popular Telerik Watch blog, but going forward all installments will be...

    Formatting RadChart Labels

    Hi everyone, My name is Vesselin Georgiev and I am a technical consultant here at Telerik. This is my first blog post and it is dedicated to labels in RadChart. By default RadChart will display the value corresponding to the bar (point, slice) as a label.  But RadChart allows you to control the label content. This is possible thanks to the DefaultLabelValue property, which has been around for quite some time now. You can use several “special words” in this property -- "#Y", "#X", “#%”, “#SUM”, “#STSUM”, “#SERIES”, “#ITEM”. They are all listed in the dedicated help topic . This is all good, but...
