    IE7 Scrolling Is Slower If Hover Pseudo CSS Classes Are Used on the Page

    This has been something like a tale of the unexpected for me. A client recently reported a problem with scrolling being slow in IE when the mouse wheel is used. It took about two afternoons of testing different scenarios and head scratching, and this is where we got: it seems that if a :hover pseudo CSS class is used on the web page, scrolling in IE7 becomes slower, even if the CSS selector, which contains the :hover pseudo class does not select anything, i.e. the CSS rule is not relevant to any of the web page elements. The longer the page, the...

    ASP.NET Ajax Controls and jQuery - What about IntelliSense?

      UPDATE: Please see this blog post for updated instructions on enabling IntelliSense in the Q1 '09 version. We have recently announced that we are shipping jQuery with RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax. You can use this completely unmodified version of jQuery in your projects, as long as you have the RadControls assembly in your bin folder. This way you do not have to include jQuery and this can translate into 50kB less traffic. You can enable IntelliSense, just like with the standalone jQuery, in VS2008 with a few simple steps. 1. Install the Visual Studio 2008 IntelliSense patch, if you have not already done so. 2. Download...

    Pictures from the Road

    Conference season has been in full swing for the past couple of months, and I must say I'm glad things are settling down so I can get back into my normal routine. All this traveling has been fun - especially the opportunities to meet Telerik customers and many great members of the .NET community - but I'm ready to see the end of airports and conference halls for a few months. Those of you who travel to all the conferences and speak for a living, I have a newfound respect for you! One of the cool things that I've brought home...

    Conditional Formatting rows in RadGridView

    It can be useful at times to draw the users attention to a certain row or rows in a grid.  You might want to point out an account that is about to expire or show that an entry requires approval.  Normally, you would evaluate the data in the grid yourself to change the BackColor of a row.  The RadGridView offers you the ability to create a condition that will apply certain formatting for you.  I have created a simple class that will allow us to display a few laptop orders.      public class Laptop     {         public string Manufacturer { get; set; }         public double Price {...

    Using Report parameters UI to sort by column

    Our 'series' of tips and tricks for Telerik Reporting continues with this neat approach to sort the report by column. We would create a sample report using the AdventureWorks database that comes with our examples and use a single table with few columns that are easy to remember namely FirstName, LastName, Title .. you know the drill :) In order to use the built-in parameters area of the report, we would need to create a report Parameter that lists the column names. We can do that by creating a Business object that holds this for us:   public class ColumnSelector : DataTable     {        ...

    Tweaking the Theme colors for Telerik Silverlight Controls

    Its been a while since my last blog post. But this is all for good. It was a busy month for the Telerik Silverlight Team. We did a couple of public releases in the last few weeks.

Our next release will be in the middle of December when we will release our next essential control - the Docking Manager for Silverlight. Now back on the topic.

    Image Centering Techniques You Should Know About

    The following new code library entry demonstrates two alternative techniques for centering an image inside a RadAjaxLoadingPanel. Both techniques should not be something new for CSS-savvy devs, however, we receive queries for them from time to time, so it will be good to have an example available online: How to Center Image In a RadAjaxLoadingPanel  ...
