    XhtmlPage: What does it do?

    Have you ever been working with the Telerik Quickstart examples and wondered why all of the demo pages inherit from XhtmlPage instead of System.Web.UI.Page? Even if you guess that this custom base page somehow ensures that all rendered demo pages are XHTML valid, have you ever wondered how the base page manages to deliver that functionality? In this post, we’ll take a close look at the XhtmlPage class and see what it’s doing to deliver easy XHTML validity. The lessons learned from this class can easily be applied to your own custom page classes and used to make your web...

    Pressing keys simulation in Selenium, RadInput on fire

    Have you thought whether it’s easy to automate tests, simulating key pressing?  How is this handled in a browser-oriented tool like Selenium? Fortunately Selenium provides API for keyDown/Up and keyPress as well as a command to fire any event, which triggers correspondingly “on”-handler (of course - “fireEvent”). On the other hand the “type” command just sets the value of an input field, so that one can set new value of the input element without the need to fire any event. What if we need to see how a control behaves in case of some specific user input, though? An input ...

    ASP.NET AJAX Inheritance Gotcha

    Hello, my name is Manol Donev and I'm part of the ASP.NET team responsible for the development and maintenance of our grid, ajax, calendar, input, and chart components. With time ticking away and the September release date closing down I can assure you there is a lot going on here at the moment -- gradually orienting our ASP.NET product line towards ASP.NET AJAX is by far our main focus of course and probably you will find some of the ASP.NET AJAX tips and tricks I'll be writing about useful in your own projects as well. OK, this one does not qualify exactly...

    RadEditor for MOSS updated

    We have just updated our RadEditor for MOSS with a new build. You can get it from the usual place. Visit http://www.telerik.com/products/sharepoint/radeditor.aspx for more information. The new version (4.31) has a bunch of enhancements and bug fixes. The most important new feature in my opinion is the addition of a base editor class, which you can use in your own custom MOSS solutions. The new class (MOSSRadEditor) is available only in the full-featured version of the RadEditor for MOSS. It allows you to easily add an instance of RadEditor, which will have the MOSS specific features like the ability to use MOSS asset...

    ASP.NET AJAX Tips and Tricks

    By default ASP.NET AJAX will load and render your controls even if they do not need to be updated. Example:In this case the Panel marked as "Slow loading area" will be updated by default even on DropDownList1 selected index changed. What can we do to prevent this? You can set Panel1.Visible to true/false according to the current ajax request. Example: Enjoy! PS: Running example can be found here....

    Finally .. Shared TimeView for all of you TimePicker lovers!

    As many of you have waited patiently for this feature, I decided to drop a few words since it has already been implemented. We will introduce it officially with the next quarterly release in September. Of course anyone who needs this badly can open a support ticket and request internal build! Well here it is - basically the drill is the same as with the SharedCalendar: Drop a TimeView control on the page

    RadControls on iPhone: Part 3

    In our final look at the RadControls for ASP.NET running on an iPhone, we'll look at RadSplitter, RadTabStrip, RadToolBar, RadTreeView, RadUpload, and RadWindow. In the first two installments of this series we looked at the other 12 RadControls running on the phone and found most of them to be usable or semi-usable. So far, only RadEditor has earned an unusable rating on the iPhone's mobile Safari. Today we'll pass judgment on the remaining RadControls and then create a quick summary chart that you can reference during your future iPhone development. So without further delay, here's how the final six controls fared: RadSplitter: Semi-usable RadSplitter on an...

    New Resources for MOSS 2007 available!

    We have extended our SharePoint 2007 offering by adding an Integration Guide, which shows how to integrate the RadControls for ASP.NET into a MOSS 2007 site. Point your browsers to the following address for the details http://www.telerik.com/products/sharepoint/integration-guide.aspx.The new resources include a Whitepaper, a Screencast, and a new section in our forums, which is dedicated to using RadControls in MOSS 2007. The Whitepaper shows two possible ways to add one of our controls (RadMenu in this case) in a MOSS 2007 publishing site. The first (and recommended) approach is to create a WSS solution package and deploy it. The second approach...
