How to Use Google Spellcheck with RadSpell
Sometimes the default spellchecking algorithms in RadSpell are not providing the best possible suggestions for misspelled words. For example, the phonetic algorithm works best with English words, but is not very accurate with Russian. The edit distance algorithm is language independent, but will not recognize easy mistakes if the word spelling is not very similar to the original. Unfortunately, implementing your own custom algorithm for a specific language is not an easy task. The latest Q3 2009 release of the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX features a new example for RadSpell, which shows how to use an existing service provided by... -

Using Telerik Grid for ASP.NET MVC without any server-side code
Since all Telerik UI components for ASP.NET MVC are actually jQuery plugins one can use them without any server-side code (or ASP.NET MVC). In this blog post I will show how to use the grid and bind it to Twitter. Here are the required steps: Register the two CSS files to style the grid: <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="telerik.common.min.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="telerik.vista.min.css" /> </head> Then add the JavaScript files: ... -

In this blog post I will highlight the most common problems you may encounter while using the extensions and their solutions. Here we go: The control renders fine but its client-side features do not work The most common reason is that there is no ScriptRegistrar or it is placed before the UI components. It is mandatory that you add a ScriptRegistrar because the UI components require it... -

As usual, we are prepared in time for another great developer conference, this time Microsoft TechEd Europe taking place in Berlin, Germany.

Smooth scrolling in RadGridView for WinForms
Up until Q3 2009, RadGridView for WinForms used a scrollbar in every child view when in hierarchy mode. This however can be a problem when there are many nested levels, i.e. it can lead to a situation where you do not have enough visual estate to scroll through the hierarchy: In our latest release RadGridView is using only one scrollbar that scrolls the root level and all the child views, with no performance loss whatsoever, because we have optimized the scrolling mechanism to be better performing and smoother: Since there are cases where using nested scrollbars is the better option, we still offer the... -

Introducing the RadScrollablePanel
A common question that we received from our customers regarding our RadPanel control was whether the scrollbars can be customized so that they are consistent with the current theme used in the application. Since RadPanel supports the standard Windows Forms scrolling behavior and the customization of the standard scrollbars is basically impossible, we decided, by using some nice trickery, to introduce a new control that provides the RadPanel functionality and also supports theming of the scrollbars. Here is a picture of what we achieved: In a nutshell, the RadScrollablePanel control is composed of two RadScrollBars and a panel that represents the container for the controls added....May 27, 2021 1 min read -

Data-binding Telerik CoverFlow for Silverlight + some Routed Commands goodness
With our still hot Q3 2009 release we introduced a brand new RadCoverFlow control, that was rewritten from scratch in order to be able to exploit some new features in Silverlight 3 that improved both its performance and appearance. We are now using matrix projections to transform the items’ content and pixel shader effects to render the reflection. This allows us to show and properly transform any element in RadCoverFlow, including UI Elements, controls and video, as well as instantly synchronize the reflection. This major change in the control caused major changes in its API and usage patterns. We provide some...May 27, 2021 7 min read
