    Replay: Client-side Tips & Tricks of the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX

    Last week I hosted a live webinar featuring the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. If you missed it, I discussed some of the client-side features of the RadControls. Specifically, I demonstrated how to take control of the functionality of your controls on the client to build better, more performant web applications. In addition, I discussed client-side data binding with web services as well as how you can get started using jQuery with the RadControls. If you’d weren’t able to make it on Thursday, or if you would like to review the content a second time, you can check it out now on...

    Telerik OpenAccess headed towards a year full of new features and enhancements

    With Q1 2009 Telerik will introduce the first set of major improvements to OpenAccess ORM that are part of the aggressive 2009 roadmap. The first major enhancement in this release is the improved LINQ support, which has been validated with the Microsoft 101 LINQ Samples. This will give you more control and make data access even easier. Another highlight is the implementation of stored procedures for read and write operations. This will allow developers to reuse existing SQL code. Under higher security requirements the stored procedures can be used for all insert, update and delete operations to inject additional checks in the...

    Download Section Changed

    Yesterday we launched a new, significantly updated version of our 'Purchases and Downloads' pages. We listened to your feedback and we made a lot of improvements. The ambiguously named 'Purchases and Downloads' section is gone. Now we have just a 'Downloads' page, as well as a 'Billing History' page, both accessible straight from the main 'Your Account' section. What was wrong with the old version? The page consisted of a list of expandable panels for each product. The panels were slow to expand. Each panel used to have 4 tabs. The first tab didn't contain a lot of useful information, since most people...

    RadDock for WinForms in Q1 2009 and beyond

    A couple of months back we posted the Q1 2009 WinForms Roadmap and gave you a brief overview of what the new version of RadDock (or should I say RadDockingManager) will offer. I know that some of you have been waiting for it for some time now, so I decided to give you a detailed overview of what to expect. In next week’s Q1 2009 you will find improved memory disposal, and numerous bug fixes. Although memory management has been given a nice upgrade, the rest is not too exciting, because we will release the same old RadDockingManager, with a facelift. The exciting...

    Meet Telerik.Web.Design.dll

    This blog post has been updated !!! If you tried our Q1 2009 Beta you have probably noticed that there is a brand new assembly installed in your GAC - Telerik.Web.Design.dll. We decided to separate the design-time code from the web control implementation code. The reasons are many - better separation of concerns, less assembly references for the main assembly (Telerik.Web.UI.dll). We now have the freedom to extend the design time capabilities of RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax without bloating the main control assembly. Why didn't we make it that way from the beginning? The only reason is that Visual Studio 2008...
