    WPF, Silverlight and the Telerik MIX Show Off videos

    This year the  MIX conference had a very cool Show Off contest. Here's what the organizers had to say about it: "At MIX08, we’re hosting what will be a world famous Show Off event.

We want you to inspire others with your unique software, tip, tool, technique, animation, or anything else we can’t think of. All you need to do is create a short, 3-minute-or-less video demonstrating what you want...

    RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX and validation

    Our good friend Peter Blum recently announced official support for our upcoming RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX (aka "Prometheus"). All customers that are using his Data Entry Suite will be able to integrate validation into the Telerik controls almost invisibly and without much pain and effort.    For those of you that are not familiar with Peter Blum, he is an ASP Insider and the author of the BEST set of validation controls on the market. I don't have any reservations to recommend his products as they are well done, very stable and very well documented.

    IE strikes again

    After the MIX announcement about IE8 I immediately downloaded the beta to check how RadGrid behaves. Unfortunately, it seems that TABLE elements are not fully implemented and this leads to a lot of issues. If you try to access table rows or tBodies you will get "Unexpected call to method or property access".   For some reason, some of the new properties are prefixed with "ie8_" and I am wondering when they will get an "ie9_" prefix.

    A Preview of the RadEditor Prometheus provider for DotNetNuke

    Today we have released a preview of the new RadEditor Prometheus provider for DotNetNuke 4. The provider configuration remains basically the same, so people should have no problem enabling and configuring the new editor in DNN. The installation for the new provider is greatly simplified. We tried to eliminate most of the manual steps, which were required with the original RadEditor HTML editor provider. Basically, the provider now comes packaged as a module PA, so you can install and enable it directly from the web site. Detailed installation instructions (both for the automatic and manual installation) are available in the distribution...

    Web Resources demystified: Part 2

    “Why is my page sprinkled with links to webresource.axd?” By default RadControls (both “Classic” and “Prometheus”) utilize Web Resources to embed external files. By external files I mean the following: JavaScript files – they contain the code implementing the client-side features of the controls CSS files –they define the visual appearance of the controls Images –various GIF, JPG or PNG files used by the CSS files RadControls "Classic" embed all JavaScript files and the default skin (thoughtfully named "Default"). If you use any other skin or create your own it will be served from the location specified via the SkinsPath property ("~/RadControls/<ControlName>/Skins" by default). Reducing the number...
