    RadChart: AutoLayout

    Hello, We have been quite busy lately here in the Charting Labs and I would like to draw your attention on another slick feature we are adding to the Charting toolset -- RadChart AutoLayout. The AutoLayout functionality instructs the control to perform out-of-the-box layout arrangement that provides optimal utilization of the whole chart area and ensures that all chart elements are fully readable and do not overlap with one another. Here are a few samples that illustrate the described functionality: AutoLayout calculates the necessary space for all elements so they are fully readable and not clipped (notice the axis item labels --...

    RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX and validation

    Our good friend Peter Blum recently announced official support for our upcoming RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX (aka "Prometheus"). All customers that are using his Data Entry Suite will be able to integrate validation into the Telerik controls almost invisibly and without much pain and effort.    For those of you that are not familiar with Peter Blum, he is an ASP Insider and the author of the BEST set of validation controls on the market. I don't have any reservations to recommend his products as they are well done, very stable and very well documented.

    Web Resources demystified: Part 2

    “Why is my page sprinkled with links to webresource.axd?” By default RadControls (both “Classic” and “Prometheus”) utilize Web Resources to embed external files. By external files I mean the following: JavaScript files – they contain the code implementing the client-side features of the controls CSS files –they define the visual appearance of the controls Images –various GIF, JPG or PNG files used by the CSS files RadControls "Classic" embed all JavaScript files and the default skin (thoughtfully named "Default"). If you use any other skin or create your own it will be served from the location specified via the SkinsPath property ("~/RadControls/<ControlName>/Skins" by default). Reducing the number...
