Web ASP.NET AJAX
Client-side data-binding with RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX, WebServices and LINQ
As a TRUE ASP.NET AJAX Control you have almost unlimited possibilities with RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX client-side API. I've spent ~ 30 minutes to create small and powerful demo with client-side data-binding to 1 mil. records using WebService and LINQ. No traditional post back/ajax requests to the same page, no ViewState - just pure JSON. To see the traffic between client and server you can use FireBug, HttpWatch, Fiddler or any other similar tool. Here is a small screenshot from FireBug: Enjoy! [Source code]Web ASP.NET AJAXTitle Attributes in CSS Link Tags Prevent Styles from Being Applied
I have been aware for some time now that title attributes in CSS <link> tags trigger problems and prevent some CSS styles from being applied on the web page. Today I invested a couple of hours in finding out what actually happens and this is what we've got. If you have several <link> tags in the page <head> and one of them has a title attribute, then the <link> tags coming after it must either have a title attribute with the same value or no title attribute at all, otherwise the styles in the latter CSS files the will not be applied on the...WebAre you LINQed?
As you may probably know, since the middle of September last year, RadGrid for ASP.NET provides native and codeless support for LinqDataSource. You can edit, update, delete and insert records without a single line of code. Furthermore, since the beginning of this year we added codeless hierarchy support - as a result RadGrid for ASP.NET has become the first ASP.NET DataGrid on the market with native LINQ support. With the newly released RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX we moved our LINQ support to the next level and now the grid will perform all operations like sorting, filtering, paging, etc. using pure LINQ to Objects internally -...WebIncreasing the compression ratio of the XAP files
Today I was hacking around with a Silverlight application and decided to check if it is possible to recompress its XAP file in order to save some bytes. As you might already know, the XAP files are just renamed ZIP files and you can open and view their contents with almost any archiver. I created a simple batch file that extracts an archive to a temp folder, deletes it and then compresses the extracted files into a new archive with the same name as the original (I am using the open source archiver 7-Zip, which was installed in its default location): @if...ReleaseVisual Studio 2008 SP1 Beta is now available!

Issue Many NBSPs added and tag name corruption when editing a page that uses Telerik controls (popular custom controls) Description When there are multiple register directives for the same namespace in different assemblies, multiple NBSPs may be generated in your page and your markup could possibly be changed incorrect. This can be ...ReleaseTelerik CAB Enabling Kit Got Rid of Its Beta Tag
Now that the 2008 Q1 release is out the door, I finally managed to spare a couple of hours for blogging. Telerik is one of the few vendors that offer support for the Composite UI Application Block (CAB). Till recently, however, the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit (TCEK) was in beta as we wanted to hear your feedback on our implementation. The feedback was not grand, but it was enough to tell us that it is time to release TCEK to the public. The beta came with an example application which mimicked the famous WPF Woodgrove Finance Application. For our official release...May 27, 2021 2 min readWeb ASP.NET AJAXNew online resources for the past three weeks (04/14/2008 - 05/04/2008)

As Hristo Deshev is quite busy working on getting the WPF beta shipped, I thought I’d make a small plug that his book on PowerShell is available on Amazon! Here’s the link: http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Windows-PowerShell-Hristo-Deshev/dp/1590599403/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210281519&sr=8-1 Unlike many of the others books on the topic, Hristo’s goal was to make things more practical and teach readers not what PowerShell is but rather how it can be beneficial for them in many common scenarios. So, if any of you buy Hristo’s book – PLEASE share your feedback on Amazon....PeopleAnother year, another 10 awards from asp.netPRO Magazine
Just found out (from Telerik's homepage:) that we have done pretty well in this year's asp.netPRO Reader's Choice Awards - 10 awards overall, one in each category in which we participated. Even though there's nothing more gratifying than a demanding, happy customer, the fact that we've collected 2 dozen asp.netPRO awards in the last 3 years is a reason to open up a bottle of champagne. I would like to thank all of you who voted for us! Thank you so much! We appreciate every single effort you guys make - from voting in the annual magazine awards, to submitting a bug or...Web ASP.NET MVCIntroduction to ASP.NET MVC – slides and demo project
I had a presentation last week at MS DevDays Bulgaria and I thought I’d share it with you. I was very excited and somewhat nervous - this was my first presentation ever. Nervousness aside, the feeling cannot be compared to anything else – I was glad there are so much people out there who are curious about the topic I’m interested in. It’s a kind of a win-win situation, where the attendees learn something new or see the things from another person’s point of view and the presenter learns even more on the topic from the questions the audience asks. Back to the...
