In the previous post we discussed how you could quickly create a new Visual Studio project, configured to use the Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC targeting ASP.NET MVC 3. In this one, we are going to talk about how our Visual Studio Extensions have improved in regards to ASP.NET MVC 3 and the Razor view engine. A significant amount of the settings the Project Configuration Wizard manages are applied to your master page. In cases where an appropriate master page has not been found, you will be prompted to create a new one: If your project targets ASP.NET MVC 3, you will be offered an...
Earlier this week we released Q3 Service Pack 1 of the Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC. The release has a full support for ASP.NET MVC 3 RTM. A change we introduced is the new Visual Studio Project Templates for creating new Telerik MVC 3 project. Using these Project Templates you can create new MVC 3 project configured to use the Telerik Extensions for MVC in seconds with just a few clicks. The Project Templates for Telerik MVC project can be reached either from the File | New menu or from the Telerik | MVC UI Extensions menu. The New Project dialog will be launched...
With the new SP1 release of Q3 2010 we added a new feature to RadScheduleView that helps you customize every slot in a different way. To do that you should create an instance of the Slot class, set its Start and End properties,
the Resources property - with this property you can define in which resource column the slot will be displayed,
and the RecurrencePattern property - with this property you can define whether the slot will be displayed for repeating days or events like Christmas, WeekendDays and Birthdays.
For example let's say that we have a schedule control and want to customize the days that...
As you may know, we just released our ASP.NET MVC extensions latest service pack. Beside the regular dose of fixes, this service release incorporates even better support of the official version of MVC3. One of those new MVC3 feature, which I want to bring to your attention, is the unobtrusive validation. We all know how client validation from the previous version of MVC has worked; outputting a mass of JSON serialized validation rules. Although, this approach is still available, the newer one is far more pleasing. Enabled by default in the VS2010’s MVC3 project template, validation rules will be attached...
Last week MVC 3 RTM was released. I’ve been able to play around with the various release candidates and I have to say that I love the new changes, especially the new Razor ViewEngine. For those of you that have not been looking into the changes for MVC 3, or you are just starting to look into MVC, I wanted to first introduce the Razor ViewEngine and then show you how to use the syntax with some of our extensions for ASP.NET MVC. First up is the Razor ViewEngine. Now a ViewEngine is essentially what takes all of the code in...
Another release of the Work Item Manager is here and we have some exciting new features to tell you about! By far the most requested features for WIM have been a parent/child task board view and the ability to use TFS 2010’s new hierarchical queries. This blog post will show you a quick overview of these features. Parent/Child Task Board View We have added a new option in the task board which allows you to group work items by parent work item. In this view, the parent work items are displayed in their own column, and the child work items ...
We just love inventing tools. It’s one of those things hardcoded in our genome. There’s a great joy in seeing your invention work for you and all you have to do is sit back and sip a beer debug the hell out of it. But I digress. During the conversion of our online examples to the Razor view engine we’ve came up with a simple tool to help us. We didn’t have great hopes for it, as completely automatic conversion is hardly possible. It’s purpose was to take care of the bulk of the conversion, leaving the more fine points to the human...
Happy New Year everyone! The time has come to get another round of Telerik ASP.NET service packs that add more power to your web development arsenal. This is especially true for the Telerik Q3 2010 SP1 MVC release that delivers official MVC 3 RTM/NuGet package manager support. What is more, starting with this SP release, you will be able to switch the live Telerik MVC demos from WebForms to Razor view engine using a button hosted within the source code viewer: Thus you can very easily explore how the view will look like using WebForms or Razor templates coding techniques. The source...
We’ve “signed off” the first service release of the Telerik Extensions (2010 Q3) just a few minutes ago and it’s on its way to you. Apart from the usual fixes this release adds full support for the new Razor view engine. The official MVC 3 release has been out only for a few days, but the interest in this new view engine is deservedly high. This view engine required some tinkering under the hood of the Extensions, but it has all been taken care of. Any issues you might have had until now (nested content rendering out of place, syntax errors in template...
