Telerik RadGrid Section 508 Compliance
Ever wonder how to make a pageable & sortable grid Section 508 compliant? Well with RadGrid this is trivial task! The tricky part is to tell the grid to not render or require any JavaScript on the page: 1. Inherit from RadGrid and override three methods: public class MyGrid : RadGrid { public MyGrid() { // } protected override void RegisterScriptControl() { // do not register as ScriptControl } ... -

Top 5 Firefox Add-Ons for Developers
I'm a Firefox user, have been for years. I love Microsoft products and most of their software is fantastic, but I have never been much fond of Internet Explorer. Maybe its IE's UI, or maybe its the fact that it doesn't have many great plug-ins. Either way, I much prefer to use Firefox as my browser of choice when developing web applications. There are tons of great add-ons available to Firefox users to make their web developing lives easier. Here are my favorite 5: Firebug - This one's got it all: JavaScript debugger, DOM inspector, traffic analyzer, CSS inspector, and much more....May 27, 2021 2 min read -

Un-Breaking the Back Button
I often see developers (myself included) get frustrated when Ajax and the browser back button don't play nice together. The fact is, they have never really worked together and having the ability to use one means you have to sacrifice the other. But what if you want both? Let's take a look at why in the past we have not been able to have these features together and what we can do now to get them. Back in the "olden days" of the Internet each web page was a stateless, static entity. With the advent of new web frameworks like ASP.NET...May 27, 2021 6 min read -

Change Skins dynamically for all Telerik RadControls
I've spent few minutes to create small control called RadPageStylist which will style all Telerik RadControls on desired page with desired Skin. The control is fairly simple - you have Skin property where you can set your skin and ApplySkin() method which can be executed for particular ASP.NET Control. The method is recursive and will locate all child ISkinableControls to set selected Skin. Other possible approach is "Global skin setting for the entire web site/web application project" however in this case the skin registration is static. Live Demo | ... -

Some RadToolTip tips & tricks
I wrote this blog post together with our support officer Svetlina, who is in charge of answering tickets submitted for RadToolTip, RadSplitter and RadWindow. She has prepared a short list of tips and tricks based on some recurring questions that we have noticed over time. The original tips&tricks list had 12 entries, but some of the solutions were eventually built into the RadToolTip code, so it was reduced to 7 :) We hope this post will be useful to all who try to combine the tooltip with other RadControls and use it in more advanced scenarios that are not always covered in... -

Maximum performance with minimum output using Telerik RadDatePicker client-side API
Very often you need to use RadDatePicker inside a grid or list component and if you have lots of records the standard approach is not the best choice. Example: <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"> <MasterTableView> <Columns> <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="OrderDate" SortExpression="OrderDate"> <ItemTemplate> <telerik:RadDatePicker ID="RadDatePicker1" DbSelectedDate='<%# Eval("OrderDate") %>' runat="server" /> </ItemTemplate> </telerik:GridTemplateColumn> </Columns> </MasterTableView> </telerik:RadGrid> In this case you will get new date picker component for... -

Visual Studio Tips & Tricks
Being a professional developer requires that you invest some time in learning your tools. Working with .NET my tool of choice (not that there is a whole lot of choice) is Visual Studio. It’s an excellent IDE that’s very customizable and can be extremely productive if you learn how to use it well. The best way to increase your productivity is to learn some keyboard shortcuts. Yes, the toolbars are all nice and pretty, but you can do pretty much absolutely everything with the keyboard. I even know some people who don't use any toolbars at all! In my opinion that's... -

RadWindow for Silverlight
My first post for the Telerik blog community is already here. After I have been part of the Silverlight team for a while, I learned that there are two ways you can get noticed here. Either you blog about some of the most interesting and top-notch stuff happening around, or you post some funny stuff on the internal newsgroups of the company. OK, I hope this post won’t make it for the newsgroups. So lets get to the point, as our CTP2 release is underway, I am pleased to introduce one of the new controls included in the pack... -

Page Request Manager Parser Error with ASP.NET AJAX 1.0
How many times you get this in your ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 applications? After several support tickets we manage to isolate this to very simple case - standard UpdatePanel and a Button writing in Session. How weird? Here is the code: <%@ Page Language="VB" %> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <script runat="server"> Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Page.Session("test") = "test" End Sub </script> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head runat="server"> <title></title> </head> <body>...
