Integrate RadMediaPlayer's Telerik theme into Microsoft Expression Media Encoder
Before we step to the actual integration, there are few requirements that need to be met. Download and install RadControls for Silverlight Download and install Microsoft Expression Media Encoder Download and unzip TelerikThemePackage.zip (The archive contains 3 files - Default.html, player.xaml and preview.jpg) I assume that you have successfully completed the above three tasks. 1. Go to where you have installed Microsoft Expression Media Encoder. Then navigate to the Templates folder. Usually this is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Expression\Media Encoder 1.0\Templates\en\ 2. Create a copy of any of the folders (E.g. "Pilot") and rename it to Telerik 3. Replace Default.html, player.xaml, preview.jpg from the newly created "Telerik" folder with the three files from the TelerikThemePackage.zip archive. 4. Open Microsoft Expression...May 27, 2021 1 min read -
Web ASP.NET AJAX
Force update of an ASP.NET AJAX UpdatePanel using JavaScript
Since the beginning of ASP.NET AJAX era I have seen very few examples on how to manually force update of an ASP.NET AJAX UpdatePanel using JavaScript and I have decided to post very simple approach how to do this. First of all you will need to create your own UpdatePanel which will inherit from the original ASP.NET AJAX UpdatePanel and will implement IPostBackEventHandler interface: Now you can call explicitly Update() method of the UpdatePanel: ... and that's it! :-) ... however we can extend this control with an event which will be raised on explicit updates: Now you can use the new UpdatePanel in your pages like this: Enjoy!ReleaseFree Distribution of RadControls for Silverlight 1.0
I am now pleased to announce immediate availability of the public Beta of RadControls for Silverlight. Telerik is really eager to promote the Silverlight technology in the community and we have decided to ship a free distribution of our RadControls for Microsoft Silverlight 1.0. The bits are now available as a free download from our website . The latest version of RadControls features the new RadMediaPlayer control. Some of the key features of the media player include: Support for chapters and playlists Full customization through themes that can be easily modified/created with Microsoft Expression Blend Integration with Microsoft Expression Media Encoder Flexible...Productivity TestingSelenium IE performance issues; Tests optimization
As started in my previous post Selenium supports XPath expressions, which is actually one of the most commonly used DOM element location strategies. Unfortunately people complain about slower tests in IE (the problem is explained in details and discussed here) because of the XPath as well as of some failing tests in IE, created for example with Selenium IDE in Firefox. These are due to the fact that Selenium includes external library in order to support XPath in IE too and Firefox supports it internally. So in other words, Selenium XPath support definitely differs in IE ...May 27, 2021 3 min readMobileRadControls on iPhone: Part 1
Love it or hate it (as those seem to be the only two options), the iPhone is here and there are already over a million people using it to surf the "real Internet" in their pockets. And if there is anything I love more than ASP.NET and the RadControls, it's gadgets. So naturally I had to replace my "so last season" BlackBerry 8300 with an 8GB iPhone soon after it came out (which, for those that care, I love and fully recommend).One thing Steve Jobs and Apple stressed during the marketing blitz leading up to the iPhone's release is that...WebWorking with Zip Files: Part II, Zipping Files
In part one, we looked at how you can use RadUpload and the open source SharpZipLib to easily upload and expand zip archives. Today, we'll look at the other end of the process: creating new zip files on the server and then making them available for users to download. To do this, we'll extend the sample we created in part one. As you recall, our sample already enables users to upload a zip file that contains image files and then the server automatically extracts all images to a target directory. We'll extend this demo by creating a text file and then zipping...WebWorking with Zip files: Part I, Uploading and Expanding
Have you ever wondered how hard it would be to automatically zip and unzip archives with ASP.NET? It may be easier than you think thanks to the powerful SharpZipLib open source library. This library provides you with a number of easy to use tools for working with Zip (and GZip, Tar, and BZip2, for that matter) archives in .NET code that make the task of creating and expanding compressed archives relatively easy. Today we're going to look at how you can use RadUpload and SharpZipLib to upload a Zip archive and then expand it on the server. For our scenario, let's pretend...Productivity TestingSelenium Scripts for RadControls; Firebug and XPath Support
How do you, guys, use Selenium to test your RadControls? That question is really my favorite! It has been asked by our customers and I would like to answer it with this post. Actually I've been closely watching Selenium forums for the past several months. People often think using Selenium is difficult but I would disagree. This reference explains the basics of writing Selenium tests. It seems people identify easily which command to use. However, most people experience difficulties getting a proper locator. Should the respective element contain an ID its locating is trivial, but what should we ...May 27, 2021 3 min readWeb ASP.NET AJAXHierarchical data sources and RadControls
In his recent post Bertrand Le Roy announced that he migrated his ObjectHierarchicalDataSource and CompositeHierarchicalDataSource controls from GotDotNet to CodePlex. I just downloaded the sample projects and tried binding RadMenu and RadTreeView to those data source controls. Everything went according to plan: I’ve made two demo web sites – ObjectHierarchicalDataSource.zip and CompositeHierarchicalDataSource.zip. Feel free to check them...
