    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 {...

    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     {        ...
