How to set a custom height for RadButton and RadFormDecorated buttons in ASP.NET AJAX
Lately we’ve been receiving one question quite often - is it possible to increase the RadButton and / or RadFormDecorator’s button default height. Usually people are trying to set the needed value to the Height property: <telerik:RadFormDecorator runat="server" DecoratedControls="All" /> <asp:Button runat="server" Text="RadForm Button" Height="40" /> <telerik:RadButton runat="server" Text="RadButton" Height="40"> </telerik:RadButton> But the result is not pretty: By default the RadButton as well as ASP Buttons and inputs of type=”button” decorated by the RadFormDecorator are visually built with sprite images that apply a specific gradient to the element. The sprite image has a specific height, which means you cannot just change the button’s height property because the sprite image will be either cut off or...April 23, 2012 -

One Second ~ 7% Customer Conversion Loss
What does one second of performance degradation in web and e-commerce applications cost? It depends, but according to the Aberdeen Group (June, 2008 Benchmark report), customers are won or lost in just one second, based solely on the performance of the web or e-commerce application. Just this single second of delay for an online retail site equates to a “seven percent reduction in customer conversion” and thus lost revenue, seven percent! Telerik Test Studio Performance test can help customers achieve a higher level of web or e-commerce performance, and mediate this risk.April 22, 2012 -

Does JustDecompile Contain Bundled Software?
Some developers have been surprised to discover JustCode and JustTrace installed on their system after installing JustDecompile. Whereas most simply try out the tools or uninstall them, some have expressed concern that we’re bundling software in the installer. Suffice to say, we’re not. But, if we’re not bundling other products in the installer, what’s really going on? Web Installer Launcher When you download JustDecompile (which is free) or one of our trial products, you actually receive a lightweight web installer launcher. This program simply allows you accept the license agreements and select products. It then downloads the individual installers and runs them. Of course,...April 20, 2012
