History Enabled Script Manager and Silverlight
A.k.a Deep Linking in Silverlight Undoubtedly Silverlight offers a myriad of useful features that can enhance the user and development experience – Binding, Multithreading, Layout System, Animations to name a few. But the fact that it is in essence a browser plug-in leads to certain limitations or “hurdles” for the user experience. Deep Linking? Why? One such thing is the lack of Deep Linking, i.e. the browser’s address bar contains the starting page for the application but any change in its state is not reflected in the address. Some people argue that there is difference between Web Applications and Web Pages and while the... -

RadEditor... on msdn2.microsoft.com
It has been some time this was in the making... and as of the beginning of this week RadEditor is the editor one uses to submit community content in MSDN. Here is a hasty screenshot I made for you: To my best knowledge, this is the fifth Microsoft team that adopts the RadEditor, yet I believe it is the first team to use it on a public Microsoft site (besides, such an important one). The other teams using the editor are doing internal MS content, and since I have not explicitly asked for permission to list their names here, I will... -

The new Reporting designer - New user experience for everyone
Have you ever been addicted to something? Well I am now in the Q1 2008 Telerik Reporting Designer. The new state of the art design surface, available in Visual Studio, will definitely grab you from the very beginning. It will bring new user experience to all of you who like your reports to look better then just a list of records, items and numbers. But let me start from the beginning. The graph paper background of the designer is specially chosen to assist you in designing your layout and gives you an excellent visual presentation of what your report will look...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

The dark side of static members
Often we find it easy to create a class with a static event to keep the controls in our web application loosely coupled. The easiest way to make a number of controls interact without “knowing” about each other is to have a static event distributor class. public class EventDistributor { public static event EventHandler SomethingHappened; public static void RaiseSomethingHappened(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (SomethingHappened != null) { SomethingHappened(sender, e); } } } Some of the controls raise the events of the distributor… protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { … EventDistributor.RaiseSomethingHappened(sender, e); … } …and others subscribe to them protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { ... -

Breaking changes in RadGridView for WinForms Q1 2008
We at Telerik know that you, our clients, do not like breaking changes. With each release we get complaints that something has changed, even when it as small as a change in the name of a single property. We understand why you find them dreadful. More often than not software vendors do not speak of them openly and try to hide them at all costs. Often such changes are not well documented. As a result, a lot of time is spent on getting all issues resolved after the upgrade. We know that you are terrified from this process and prefer...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

RadControls for WPF CTP
This week we are about to release a private CTP of RadControls for WPF. We will be sending the CTP build to all people who have previously requested WPF controls. If you still haven't requested WPF controls from our support or sales folks don't hesitate to drop them a line and we'll send you a build. If you're reading regularly the Telerik blogs may be you haven't missed Vassil's post about the Show Off videos which we prepared for MIX 08. In case you've watched carefully the "Telerik Resort Explorer" video you probably are asking yourself at least a couple of questions: 1) Oh my! Telerik will... -

Items drag and drop for RadGrid
In the eve of the official release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX suite (formerly known as Prometheus) I have decided to present you with a new feature of the RadGrid control. Besides of .Net 3.5 data binding optimizations, calculated columns and more other new enhancements, in the latest version of the control you can now find built-in support for items drag and drop. Through both the client and server -side events you can precisely handle dragging and dropping to same or other RadGrid instances as to other html elements. -

RadControls and ASP.NET Dynamic Data - Part Deux
UPDATE: You can download the latest Dynamic Data bits from here. It seems that I've managed to mess things up in my previous blog post. The sample web site and user controls work but ... they are using the December CTP release of ASP.NET Dynamic Data! Kudos to Scott Hunter for spotting the problem. It seems that albeit I installed the latest Dynamic Data bits I forgot to uninstall the December CTP and Visual Studio 2008 was still using the old Web Site template. Be careful when installing the new bits - uninstall any previous releases first! The sample web site and...
