Optimized Query Select statement question

Hi,

From the example on this page http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/scheduler/examples/optimizedqueries/defaultcs.aspx#

SELECT * FROM [Appointments] WHERE ([Start] < @RangeEnd AND [End] > @RangeStart) OR ([RecurrenceRule] <> '') OR ([RecurrenceParentID] IS NOT NULL)

I see that the select statement retrieved recurring events events using [RecurrenceRule] <> '' which is good. My question is why do you need the "OR ([RecurrenceParentID] IS NOT NULL)" ? From what I understand, an appointment has RecurrenceParentID only when it's modified from a recurring series and then a new row in Appointments table will be created. The first where clause (start < @rangeEnd...) should already retrieve those in the visible start/end. If you include the RecurrenceParentID IS NOT NULL wouldn't that unnecessary retrieve more appointments than needed?

Thanks

dock.UniqueName = Guid.NewGuid().ToString().Replace("-", "a");

dock.ID = string.Format("RadDock{0}", dock.UniqueName);

dock.Title = txtDocTitle.Text;

dock.Text = string.Format("Added at {0}", DateTime.Now);

Cleanest Way to Bind Non-Datatable Source to DropDownList in Code Behind

I have

A couple of dropdown lists in my RadGrid
A multilingual application, such that the ViewModel provides an object for each property, but getting the display text requires a translation step to the user's language - can't just display the ViewModel property directly. I guess I COULD change this to have one property on the ViewModel that returns the string display value and another that returns the integer underlying value, but that seems messy to me - would much prefer a solution like IValueConverter to convert between the ViewModel and the displayed value based on the type of the property. Is that the "best practice"? Will that cause extra server round-trips, because the property that the client side form binds to requires server side logic to execute in order to produce its value?
A form template for my EditForm

I want to have a clean code-behind that uses binding to populate the list values and the selected index in the dropdown lists in both the MasterTableView and the Edit Form's FormTemplate.

I can make it work without adding the strings and integer fields to the ViewModel, but the code behind is extensive and messy. I can't figure out any clean way to do it.

I looked at the GridDropDownColumn control, but found that it's supposed only to have datatables underlying it (http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet/grid/populating-griddropdowncolumn-from-code-behind.aspx), and only found examples of it being bound to a source whose connection string etc. were declared in the .aspx (not in the code behind). I'm retrieving my values via Entity Framework and then a subsequent manipulation to acquire the values for the correct language, so that doesn't work for me.

I can't declaratively specify the options for the dropdown list in the .aspx due to the need to translate them, but if I don't declare them in the XAML, then I can't bind the selected value, because it finds that the corresponding list item doesn't exist. I also can't even bind the selected value in the case of the MasterTableView's view mode entry because of the need to translate the text to be displayed using a function that's called server side.

As-is, in ItemDataBound, for EACH dropdown field in my form, there's code to:

Populate dropdown values list manually in Edit Form (requires casting the bound item, getting the list of values with translations, and manually creating ListItems
Setting selected item in Edit Form (reading the value from the underlying data source item and using .FindControl to get the control that I need to update)
Setting default value for the dropdown list in the Insert form
Set value for the field in the MasterTableView (again doing the translation)

Seems like a lot of code to have for each field. Seems like there should be some point BEFORE databinding where I can set the list items in the dropdownlist control, so that the databinding can go through successfully. Just because I need to set the list items in code behind, why should I ALSO be forced to set the selected item there?

Is there a better way?

Thanks!

<InvalidStyle CssClass="inputBoxInvalid" />

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="comboBoxIdentifier" runat="server" CssClass="radComboBox" OnDataBound="radComboBox_DataBound"

OnSelectedIndexChanged="radComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged" Filter="Contains" Skin="Windows7"

EnableLoadOnDemand="true" EnableViewState="true" />

<telerik:RadButton ID="radButtonInsertUpdate" runat="server" OnClientClicking="performInsertOrUpdate"

Text='<%# (Container is GridEditFormInsertItem) ? "Insert" : "Update" %>' CommandName='<%# (Container is GridEditFormInsertItem) ? "PerformInsert" : "Update" %>' CssClass="esbutton" />

function performInsertOrUpdate(sender, args) {

var error = 0;

var controlRef = $find("<%= radGridClientIdentifiers.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView();

// any items being inserted?

var insertedItem = controlRef.get_insertItem();

if (insertedItem != null) {

}

var editedItemsArray = controlRef.get_editItems();

if (editedItemsArray.length > 0) {

}

Upload on Ajax ModalPopupExtender in IE8 Compatibility Mode

I have an internal site that runs under IE8 with Intranet settings, and thus runs in Compatibilty mode. I do not have the access or permission to force the site into regular mode using headers or IIS - in other words, it must run in Compatibility mode.

On the site, I have an Upload control that resides on an asp:Panel, that is associated with the ajax control toolkit's ModalPopupExtender. The Upload control is set to use 3 input boxes.

When the user opens the modal, and I have enablefileinputskinning="false", the input boxes have an inline style assigned that sets the width as 15px (see attached image fileskinfalse.png). If I set the enablefileinputskinning="true", the input boxes are the correct size, but are transparent through the modal down to the page, and the user can't interact with the elements (see image fileskintrue.png).

Any thoughts or ideas on how to get the input boxes to show correctly?

RadWindow NavigateUrl autoSize different webserver

Hello

I believe the title says it all.
From the documentation I know that autoSize doesn't work with navigateUrl from other domains.
But i am adressing another webserver in the same domain, and autoSize still doesn't work.
However, with a page from the running application in the navigateUrl it works.

Any ideas?

Thanks
