    Search Engine Optimization: Use an HttpHandler when Redirecting

    It is fairly common that you will need to configure a page in your web application to redirect a user to another page. The reasons for this vary, but in one specific case you may want to rethink how you are redirecting your users. When a call to Response.Redirect() is made, the server sends a response back to the client with an HTTP 302 status code, telling the client that the resource has temporarily moved and where it can find the resource. I've created a simple page, OldPage.aspx, which redirects to NewPage.aspx during the Page_Load event. Let's jump into FireBug and see exactly...

    dotNet Register: An Intro

    One of the tasks that has been on my "to do" list for quite some time now is to build a big, real world-ish application that not only provides value to the community but also shows-off a lot of the RadControls in action. It's a big task and one that's especially hard to tackle when traveling about the world to speak and preparing smaller demos that work well in "small bites." But I'm putting my foot down and committing to begin work on this big project now! The goal of my "big project"- which, by the way, still needs a...

    Telerik RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX client-side data binding to ADO.NET DataServices

    We just extended RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX with native client-side data binding to ADO.NET DataServices. Now you can use getDataServiceQuery() method and the grid will construct ADO.NET DataService style query: var northwindService = new Sys.Data.DataService("NorthwindDataService.svc"); var tableView = $find("<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView(); northwindService.query(tableView.getDataServiceQuery("Customers"), updateGrid); All operations like paging, sorting and filtering are automatically persisted using $top, $skip, $orderby and $filter...

    Visual Style Builder Survey

    Once again, I am excited to announce the start of a new initiative to improve the user experience with skinning the Telerik controls. We are starting work on a new Visual Style Builder application for the ASP.NET AJAX Controls and a major upgrade of the existing application for the WinForms Controls. The Visual Style Builder will allow easy, point-and-click customization of component skins, eliminating the need to get acquainted with the front-end structure of the controls. The Visual Style Builder will also speed up development of skins across several components - you will be able to define a style once and...
