Q2 Asp.Net skinning
It’s that time of the year again and we’re getting ready for the next quarterly release here at telerik. This time we have a major visual update coming for the ASP.NET product line. Almost all skins will get a refresh – some a minor QA to bring back to original designs, others a more thorough facelift. Wanted to get back to you even before the beta release next week with a sneak view of what’s coming so you can have your say. Here’s the major planned changes in skinning: Black skin preserves its general look only gets a bit less….well,... -

Caveats with WPF dynamic resources and animations.
Recently we've been building some cool stuff in WPF with resources and animations. In this post I will share some experience with a bug from our code base I fought recently. The actual code is complex, so here is a simple example that I used when hunting the nasty bug (source code is in the bottom of the page): <Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300"> <Window.Resources> <Style TargetType="{x:Type Rectangle}" x:Key="RectangleStyle"> <Setter Property="Fill" Value="Blue" /> </Style> </Window.Resources> <Grid Name="testGrid" > ...May 27, 2021 3 min read -
Web ASP.NET AJAX
RadGrid Client Data Binding And ADO.Net DataServices example
With the release of the .Net 3.5 SP1 Beta more and more people have started to ask us if the RadGrid for ASP.NET Ajax supports binding to ADO.Net DataServices. And what is the answer, you may have asked yourself? Yes it does! To demonstrate this I have updated one of Vlad's well-known client data binding examples. As you may notice there are only a few changes to the code, mostly the parts where the web service calls are concerned. Download the example.ReleaseTelerik Trainer is LIVE!
As you most probably know (see Falafel Releases Telerik Trainer At TechEd 2008, Telerik Trainer Sneak Preview) we have been working on a new training tool for Telerik products. Telerik Trainer is a state of the art learning tool which we have produced together with our great partners at Falafel Software. You can now get your hands on the Telerik Trainer at: http://www.telerik.com/support/teleriktrainer.aspx (signing in required). We are initially releasing a total of 27 training sessions (for RadControls ASP.NET AJAX and Telerik Reporting) and we plan to regularly add more tutorials for all Telerik Products. Telerik Trainer is an important milestone in our...May 27, 2021 1 min readProductivityPNDs, UMPCs, MIDs – what’s it all about?
Let me clarify first that the title is a bit misleading. You may think that the story will comment on these devices in general, but you are wrong :). I will comment NVidia’s* entry in the handheld and portable devices business in particular, and what it means for the whole industry. Will they shape the landscape the way they did in the GPU market? Why is this event important enough to compel a guy that develops software to blog about hardware? Why the Nvidia Tegra? Why not the IPhone 3G? Or the HTC Diamond? A lot of tough questions to answer...May 27, 2021 3 min readWebOptimization Tips: Optimizing Custom Skins
Welcome back to my ongoing series on optimizing the Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. For those that are counting, this is the fifth installment in the series, so if you've missed the first four parts I suggest you go back and read them now. This article builds on some of the concepts we've covered previously, so a sound understanding of the earlier concepts is a plus. And before you get confused, you won't find the other installments on blogs.telerik.com. Up to now, this series has been running on my popular Telerik Watch blog, but going forward all installments will be...ReleaseNew online resources for the past four weeks (05/26/2008 - 06/20/2008)

ClickOnce is a great technology that blurs the line between web and client(windows) applications. You can use it to easily deploy windows forms and WPF (through XBAP) app's. However there is common problem with it. The application store (the place where all ClickOnce applications get stored) has the ability to corrupt it self ending in an appropriate version mix of your application. You can end up in situation where "it works on my machine", but in reality the application did not work correctly. To avoid such situation it is a good practice to clear your application store before testing the...May 27, 2021 1 min readReleaseHelpDesk ready for action
So much has been going on lately, I almost forgot to tell everyone about the integration application we released a while ago. We wanted to deliver an application which is built entirely with our RadControls for Winforms. However, we had to wait until the reengineered RadGridView shipped as a part of Q1 2008, in order to provide an application which integrates the latest and greatest technology we have to offer. Soon after our Q1 2008 release, which features a significantly improved grid control, we released the HelpDesk application – a sample contact management system, which uses a number of controls –...ReleaseRadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX in Community Server
We have updated the Telerik editor provider for Community Server to use the new RadEditor from the ASP.NET AJAX suite. The new provider is available for download from the following URL - http://blogs.telerik.com/Libraries/Stoyan_Stratev/RadEditorWrapper20080623.sflb?download=true (deployment instructions are included in the archive). There are some major changes in the new provider. I will list them here: 1. ScriptManager - since the new editor is built on top of the Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX Extensions, it requires that the System.Web.Extensions.dll assembly is either in the bin folder of the CommunityServer web site or in the machine's GAC. You do not need to add a ScriptManager control on...
