RadAjax for ASP.NET AJAX is the successor of RadAjax for ASP.NET. The next generation of RadControls is built entirely on top of ASP.NET AJAX, utilizing its common client-side framework and programming model. RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX introduce a number of new features and performance optimizations, which are hard or impossible to implement in the regular ASP.NET suite. The integration and API models of the controls are also better, due to the common framework they share (RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX are shipped as a single assembly - Telerik.Web.UI.dll.) It is important to note that this new generation of RadControls will work only on ASP.NET 2.0 and 3.5 because of the underlying ASP.NET AJAX framework.

Although there are a lot of new features in RadAjax for ASP.NET AJAX some of the functionality from the “classic” ASP.NET version is still the same.  The forum threads in the RadAjax for ASP.NET forum are still relevant if they are in the following areas:

•  DesignTime work with the control - AjaxSettings are still defined in the same user friendly way, through two treeviews (one for initiating controls and one for updated controls).
• Server-side event AjaxRequest is still handled in the same way and requires you to have the AjaxManager/AjaxPanel set as initiator.
• defining AjaxSettings programatically - still uses the same syntax.
• Updating the <head> tag, so that styled controls can properly register their stylesheets (EnablePageHeadUpdate=true)
• The ResponseScripts collection is still at your disposal for triggering custom actions after ajax request.
• The queuing mechanism is implemented as well. Only difference here is that it is triggered by a property (RequestQueueSize) and not by a method (SetMaxRequestQueueSize())

If you upgrade your projects from RadAjax for ASP.NET to RadAjax for ASP.NET AJAX we encourage you to refer to this online help article, which highlights the most important steps in the migration process.

We hope this is helpful. If you need any assistance in the upgrade process or you have any other questions, please contact us.

Just a quick questions?


I am using the following grid for the user to select an article from a list.  
Currently the "hovered" row is changing color based on the skin.  What  is the class name for the "Hovered" grid item so I can change the color and the cursor.  If you could provide an example I would appreciate it.

I have 3 items and after the 3rd menu item the menu just stops.  It should be a giant blank line until the table width is full.  My Skin is Telerik.  If I set my skin to Default2006 it works.

<

table width="960" border=0>

<

tr><td>test</td></tr>

<

tr><td>

<

telerik:RadMenu ID="RadMenu1" runat="server" Skin="Telerik"

DataSourceID="XmlDataSource1" DataTextField="Text" EnableOverlay="true"

DataNavigateUrlField="Url" Width="100%">

<

CollapseAnimation Type="OutQuint" Duration="200"></CollapseAnimation>

</telerik:RadMenu>

</

td></tr>

</

table>

Thanks

I use a modal radwindow on a page. I also use shortcuts ("AccessKey") on main page and on radwindow page. If you press a short cur on radwindow this affects also the shortcuts on main page. Means if you have a shortcut "A" on both pages and you press "Alt+A" on radwindow it happens that the control on main form weill be selected. This is not a very helpful behaviour and should be corrected.

I have recommended my company to purchase RadControls "Prometheus" When I browse to the link to buy it, it takes me to RadControls for ASP .NET.

I guess this is because RadControls "Prometheus" is a beta release.

When will RadControls "Prometheus" be available for purschase?

If my company buys the RadControls for ASP .NET now, will it be upgradable or upgraded to RadControls "Prometheus" when it is released? 
 
Thanks,
Tal

Hi i'm trying to insert a loading Image instead of just plain text for my TreeView LoadinStatusTemplate. The image shows but doesn't animate like it normally would in a browser window. Has anyone tried this and got it to work?

Telerik controls are unavailable to javascript when the page's startup script runs. I tried adding the startup script in Page_Load using the following methods:

1.    //Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(typeof(Page), "addScript", "SetReadOnly();", true);

2.    //RadAjaxPanel1.ResponseScripts.Add("SetReadOnly();");

3.    //RadAjaxManager1.ResponseScripts.Add("SetReadOnly();");

Please let me know what I need to do to access the page's Telerik controls in the startup script.
