    RadAsyncUpload arrives with Q1 2010 Beta

    Nowadays responsive, user-friendly websites are the norm and no longer the exception. Thanks to using AJAX for partial page updates and real-time updates users don’t need to wait for the browser to finish its communication with the server after every action – they are free to open new messages, accept friend requests or browse image galleries while the browser works in the background. One operation though often needs to block the user interaction while it completes – file uploading. As always Telerik is here to help in this tough situation – meet the RadAsyncUpload. In its essence RadAsyncUpload lets the user...

    If you have been using RadComboBox frequently in your projects, you have probably written the following or very similar code many times: protected void RadComboBox1_ItemsRequested(object sender, RadComboBoxItemsRequestedEventArgs e) { SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter( "SELECT * from Customers WHERE CompanyName LIKE @text + '%'", ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["NorthwindConnectionString"] .ConnectionString); adapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@text", e.Text); DataTable data = new DataTable(); adapter.Fill(data); int itemOffset = e.NumberOfItems; int endOffset = Math.Min(itemOffset + ItemsPerRequest, data.Rows.Count); e.EndOfItems = endOffset ==...

    Why do teams succeed?

    The story of human achievement is almost always one of teamwork. While we celebrate individual accomplishments, like Neil Armstrong stepping foot on the moon, it is always the team that makes or breaks the effort. I have always been interested in why teams succeed; it is easy to figure out why teams fail. A lot of time we think that we need a team of “Ninjas” in order to succeed, or a superstar team leader. In reality we need neither the Ninja team nor rock star team leader. For better or worse, I have been leading teams for a long time and I maybe a decent...

    Telerik RadControls for Silverlight - the concept of performance with facts and examples

      We have been asked many times about the performance of our RadControls for Silverlight. We completely understand that “performance” is a key evaluation factor that makes users decide whether to go with a certain product or not. We also know that it is not only the fast performance that turns you, it is also a combination of several key factors, like Feature-set, Slick UI, Better User Experience, Rich API, etc. We have always tried to deliver all these in the best way so that as a result our controls keep on performing extremely fast and at the same time...

    Q1 release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX will require .NET 3.5 Service Pack 1

    Starting with the Q1 2010 release we’ll be building against .NET 3.5 SP1. This is a new requirement and older releases are still compatible with .NET 3.5 RTM. There is no change in the requirements for the .NET 2.0 builds. Generally speaking, there is no reason why you shouldn’t install .NET 3.5 SP1 on your servers and workstations since this is the current official version of the framework. The reason for this requirement is that we’ll start shipping official .NET 4.0 builds of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX when VS 2010/.NET 4 RTM comes out. The service pack is a prerequisite for using the 4.0...
