    First Look: RadGrid 5 PDF Export (updated)

    By now you probably know that one of the biggest new features in RadGrid 5.0 is support for export to PDF. For quite some time, RadGrid has supported direct export to Microsoft Word and Excel formats, but the addition of PDF export elevates the Grid's exporting capabilities to unprecedented levels. Using the new export feature couldn't be easier. As with previous export formats, all that is required is a call to a single simple RadGrid method: this.RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ExportToPdf();When you call this method, all of the data in the Grid is exported to a new PDF that the users can then save to their local...

    How to Change the Silverlight Installation Message

    NOTE: From the very beginning I would like to state that this custom solution is temporary and will most probably change with the next release of Silverlight Plug-In. There is no straightforward approach to changing the Silverlight Download logo. However, a workaround exists. 1) Download the modified TelerikSilverlight.js and add it to your project 2) Within the Default.aspx of your project, reference TelerikSilverlight.js <script type="text/javascript" src="TelerikSilverlight.js"></script> 3) Create a javascript function right bellow the previous line of code <script type="text/javascript">    function GetInstallHtml ()    {        var imgUrl = "http://www.telerik.com/images/editor/OverviewImages/SilverlightLogo.gif";        var myInstallHtml = 'This is my custom text<br/>' +                                         '<div style="width: 205px; height: 67px; background-color: #FFFFFF">' +                                             '<img onclick="javascript:Silverlight.followFWLink({0});"' +                                             'style="border:0;...

    RadEditor Prometheus up to 76 percent faster

    For months now we have been talking about the new RadEditor being built in the "Prometheus" suite and how it is going to be the best version of RadEditor to date. Today an early preview of that work was released in the "Prometheus" Futures build and made available for general testing in the Telerik community. Obviously, the version that was released today looks a lot different from the final version that will be released- dialogues are still rough, features are unpolished, and some features are missing- but it is still a great look at what's coming. Today I ran the RadEditor Futures release build through...

    Ultimate .NET Credit Card Utility Class

    Have you ever thought about processing credit cards in your .NET application? If you have, then you know one of the first things you need to do is find some code to validate that credit card numbers entered by your users appear correct before you send them along to your payment processor. Having created applications in the past that process credit cards, I know that this task can be surprisingly harder than it should be. There are plenty of code snippets scattered across the 'Nets that show you how to do individual parts of the validating process, but there are few...
