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>... -

Placing 2D labels in a 3D scene
Hello everyone, Since that is my first blog, I suppose a short introduction won't do a harm. My name is Evtim Papushev and I am Software Developer @ Telerik. I'm in the Charting division and I currently work on the new RadChart for WPF. Well, that's enough about me, now let's move to the today's topic. Placing labels in a 3-dimensional scene isn't an issue at all. Well, at least technically, it is simple - place a 3D model, then set text box as diffuse material, set the texture coordinates and you are ready to roll. What such a solution lacks is business...May 27, 2021 3 min read -

Optimizing the load size of Telerik Silverlight controls
Following the expansion of our Silverlight suite (more than 15 controls coming out next week) and the feedback we’ve got from the community, we are now in a process of optimizing the size of the assemblies. Instead of including all our controls into one big assembly, we decided to group them into several smaller ones. This will reduce the size of the XAP file when you are not using all the controls in the suite. We came up with the following list of assemblies: Telerik.Windows.UI.dll Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation.dll Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input.dll Telerik.Windows.Controls.Web.dll Apart from this list there will be assemblies that hold the themes of the controls - e.g. separate assemblies for the Telerik, Vista and Default themes.

Web ASP.NET MVC
Catching up with ASP.NET MVC
I wouldn't normally consider myself an early adopter. In fact, I prefer the 'tried and true' to the 'hip and new', especially when it comes to software development. However, that doesn't mean I should keep my head in the sand. While I might not always live on the bleeding edge of .NET development, I should definitely be aware of what's going on there. With that goal in mind, I'm going to dedicate a series of posts specifically to looking at the new ASP.NET MVC framework. ASP.NET MVC was introduced last October at the ALT.NET conference and Preview 3 is readily available...May 27, 2021 4 min read -

[ReSharper] Directory name donates namespace Yes or No ?
If you like us are passionate user of ReSharper you know that ReSharper "did not like" when a class' namespace did not correspond to the directory structure the file belongs to. To illustrate this lets look at a simple example. Imagine that we have a project named MyProject. By default its namespace is MyProject. Lets have a folder named MyControls in the project as well. Now lets add a class file in that folder, naming it "MyControl.cs". The default namespace that will be generated for the class will be MyProject.MyControls. It is constructed using the default namespace and joining it with the folder...
