    It recently came to my attention that there is no good documentation on the Telerik website showing you how to create a RadRotator (with a defined template) programmatically. There is some documentation out there showing you how to programmatically data bind a RadTicker, and the RadControls Learning Guide has some good guidance, but nothing exists online for easy Rotator reference. Let's solve that problem and take a quick look at how you can programmatically create your RadRotator and template. Step 1: Define your template.

    ASP.NET AJAX Inheritance Gotcha

    Hello, my name is Manol Donev and I'm part of the ASP.NET team responsible for the development and maintenance of our grid, ajax, calendar, input, and chart components. With time ticking away and the September release date closing down I can assure you there is a lot going on here at the moment -- gradually orienting our ASP.NET product line towards ASP.NET AJAX is by far our main focus of course and probably you will find some of the ASP.NET AJAX tips and tricks I'll be writing about useful in your own projects as well. OK, this one does not qualify exactly...
