Installing r.a.d.controls on Vista and IIS7
Vista must be getting popular these days! We've been hit with some support requests that basically sounded like "Why don't your installers create virtual folders on IIS7 under Vista?". Our installers run fine and copy all needed files, but our virtual directory creation custom task seems to have some problems with IIS7. We are yet to throw in some efforts and research the issue in greater detail, but I assume we just have to look into the new "official" way to create virtual folders and just add support for it. Until that time, you can use the IIS6 compatibility mode. This...October 17, 2006 -
Web ASP.NET AJAX
r.a.d.ajax and web services
My team and I have been working hard to bring you the cool web services functionality that shipped with r.a.d.ajax in Q3 a week ago. And now, when the goodies are out in the open, people are beginning to explore the new features and looking for suitable ways to use them. I have been reading some of the initial support tickets we received about the web services support in r.a.d.ajax and it seems that quite a few people would appreciate some guidance with this somewhat advanced feature of the product. This blog post is meant to get you guys started. Scared...October 16, 2006 -
Web ASP.NET AJAX
Creating ASP.NET AJAX client-side classes
Does that subject looks lame or what! I'm trying to stop using the “Atlas” name -- it's ASP.NET AJAX now, and getting used to the new name is a major pain in the backside. Even though the official name Jessie-James-Garett-certified name is Ajax (note the capitalization), Microsoft chose AJAX. Anyway, I hope I'll get used to it eventually. So, how do you create a class in a language that has a classless object model? Why would you want to do that in the first place? Prototype-based object oriented programming is way more powerful than your grandma's classes that you are used...October 14, 2006 -

How to close Netscape 8.1.2.0 with JavaScript
Hi there. I am still kicking. It has been some time since my last post as most of my efforts were concentrated on the quarterly release (which is a lame excuse). Anyway here is an interesting thing that I tackled a minute ago:The following script closes immediately the latest installment of Netscape:<html><body> <div id="div1"> <div id="div2"> </div> </div> <button onclick="return CloseNetscapeNow()">Close Netscape</button> <script type="text/javascript"> function CloseNetscapeNow() { var div1 = document.getElementById("div1"); var div2 = document.getElementById("div2"); div1.appendChild(div2); } </script></body></html>Just click the button and enjoy. It turns out that the appendChild method does not work very well when you try to add...October 12, 2006 -

My first public speaking!
Monday and Tuesday have been very exciting for me! Rumen already mentioned the DevReach conference: I was not only an attendee -- this was my first speaking experience! My talk was about building and testing Atlas components, so that you actually get a chance succeeding at a large JavaScript development project. Maybe I am getting a bit arogant when it comes down to client scripting, but I am starting to believe that after working for telerik for 2.5 years, I think I have seen it all. We maintain a huge JavaScript code base and our only chance of keeping our sanity was to naturally move to writing...October 11, 2006 -

r.a.d.controls - source code and redistribution
In my last blog post about Q3 I forgot to mention two VERY VERY important benefits for customers: firstly, we changed the license agreement and secondly, we started to ship the source of the r.a.d.controls with every purchase of a Subscription license (the one that costs $999 per developer). Over the last few months many customers contacted us with questions about our redistribution policies as our license agreement wasn't very clear cut about what is acceptable and what isn't. If you remember, I blogged about this not long ago in an attempt to clarify our policies: Demystifying the telerik r.a.d.controls...October 05, 2006 -

Q3 2006 and what we've done in the last few months
It's a late Sunday afternoon (actually, it's Monday as I started the post yesterday). The weather is great, everyone's out as its unusually hot and people are having a great time. I myself am in the office since early morning with part of our team but I love it! It's always really invigorating around releases as everything you've worked on for months stitches together and you can see it in its full beauty. And, for this release, we've got plenty of things coming. I haven't been so excited in a long time and I decided not to be selfish and...October 02, 2006 -

Demystifying the telerik r.a.d.controls re-distribution rights and limitations
A prospective customer recently commented on our distribution policies and it prompted me to write a blog post and try to explain things in not-so-legal terms. Possibly because of improper wording on our part many ISVs do not feel comfortable with our terms and conditions when it comes to using our products in a commercial product. Here's what our agreement says:"You are not allowed to integrate and distribute the SOFTWARE as part of branded commercial products meant for mass distribution. This is subject to a redistributable license. For more information and inquiries, please contact sales@telerik.com." I've been re-reading this paragraph over and over while...August 15, 2006 -

telerik team strikes Ohrid
It is that time of the year when the summer heat begins to remind us it is the right moment to take off on a road trip for the weekend. That’s how two colleagues and I decided to visit the cool town of Ohrid in neighboring Macedonia. It all started on Friday evening with nothing more than our backpacks and a couple of beers to maintain high spirit during the somewhat tedious travel :). We arrived very early on Saturday and were welcomed by the refreshing scent of the Ohrid lake. The lake, the old houses, the monasteries turn the town into...July 24, 2006 -

TechEd, honeymoon, r.a.d.controls Q2 - June was busy
It's so nice to be back in the office after being nearly a month away. It's hard to catch up as many things happened, however, it was well worth it. It was a very intense and emotional time (at least for me).TechEd was great and our team had lots of fun. For those of you who were not at TechEd 2006, you can check out some pics in the online Gallery: http://www.telerik.com/Default.aspx?PageId=2833. I would like to use the opportunity to say a BIG "Thank you" to everyone who paid us a visit at the booth. I hope to see many...July 11, 2006
