    How To: Format RadGrid PDFs

    On Monday, I showed you some the new settings in RadGrid 5 the enable you to control certain aspects exported PDFs. We looked at how you can easily set the PDF's metadata, change its filename, and even control the PDF's security settings. All of these settings- along with the ability to force the PDF to open in a new window- can be set with a single property in the Grid's new ExportSettings configuration block. What we didn't look at on Monday is how you can control the formatting of your exported PDFs. Today we'll take a look at how you can customize...

    The new default skin (and how to switch back :)

    With the Q2 release, we have decided it is time to refresh the look and feel of RadControls components to stay on the edge of the latest trends in visual design for the web. And ever since Vista, black is the new white… so we just had to join in with a trendy new theme for the default skins of our controls. The Q2 2007 skin sports a modern black twist, improved contrast, and larger font-sizes/more generous white space for a touch of web2.0 in your applications. While we ardently urge everyone to switch to the new look, we do...

    Silverlight Game for Q2 Release

    While working on the second release for 2007, Telerik decided to surprise its clients by creating a Silverlight game. The idea was simple. A registered user enters his or her weight and logs in. This weight contributes to the common goal which is to lift what is on the other side of the rope.  The game was developed using Silverlight 1.1 Alpha Refresh. We had couple of concerns while developing it, though. First of all we did not know how many people have already installed the 1.1 plug-in. Also we were not sure if the current game was going to reach the popularity...

    First Look: RadGrid 5 PDF Export (updated)

    By now you probably know that one of the biggest new features in RadGrid 5.0 is support for export to PDF. For quite some time, RadGrid has supported direct export to Microsoft Word and Excel formats, but the addition of PDF export elevates the Grid's exporting capabilities to unprecedented levels. Using the new export feature couldn't be easier. As with previous export formats, all that is required is a call to a single simple RadGrid method: this.RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ExportToPdf();When you call this method, all of the data in the Grid is exported to a new PDF that the users can then save to their local...

    How to Change the Silverlight Installation Message

    NOTE: From the very beginning I would like to state that this custom solution is temporary and will most probably change with the next release of Silverlight Plug-In. There is no straightforward approach to changing the Silverlight Download logo. However, a workaround exists. 1) Download the modified TelerikSilverlight.js and add it to your project 2) Within the Default.aspx of your project, reference TelerikSilverlight.js <script type="text/javascript" src="TelerikSilverlight.js"></script> 3) Create a javascript function right bellow the previous line of code <script type="text/javascript">    function GetInstallHtml ()    {        var imgUrl = "http://www.telerik.com/images/editor/OverviewImages/SilverlightLogo.gif";        var myInstallHtml = 'This is my custom text<br/>' +                                         '<div style="width: 205px; height: 67px; background-color: #FFFFFF">' +                                             '<img onclick="javascript:Silverlight.followFWLink({0});"' +                                             'style="border:0;...

    RadControls for Windows Forms Q2 2007 BETA Available

    Many days passed since my last post (which is rather interesting and concerns the MS Surface technologies) but now I have the opportunity to justify why: Beta release of RadControls for WinForms Q2 2007 was on the way! We introduced only one new component – the RadCalendar for WinForms, but please do not underestimate the release: all our components contain very serious improvements like RTL language support, hierarchy support, documentation, etc. Let me draw some aces on the table: Major redesign of our QuickStart Framework: Yes, it is more beautiful and has greater usability than ever! It has been completely redesigned to offer...
