Someone once said something like "... write a foolproof application and God will invent a better fool."

Whoever it was, he wasn't wrong.

I know I can (and will have to) write custom validation to do this, but it strikes me that it's something that should/could be built-in to the Scheduler, at the very least, as an option under the developer's control.

The better class of fool can:

1. Create an all day appointment with hourly recurrence
2. Create occurrences with no end date.

OK, 1 is a specific example of a general case where our fool can create a recurring appointment where the recurrence interval is less than the event duration.

2. Is, I know, by design. But our fool is apt to just accept the defaults and if he creates an hourly recurring appointment and does nothing else, well, you know the results, I'm sure.

What I'd like to see in the Scheduler are options to:

1. hide selected recurrence intervals (hourly, daily, etc)
2. within each recurrence interval, hide selected options (eg. daily - every weekday)
3. hide selected "recurrence end criteria" (eg "No End Date")
4. set defaults for selected "recurrence end criteria" (eg, After x occurrences; x = 5)
5. select a "recurrence end criteria" as the default
6. automatically validate cases where the recurrence interval <= appointment duration.

As I say, I'd love to see these in the control, but I imagine that I'm going to have to do the work to try and outwit my fool for sometime to come.

However, if any one out there has already met my fool and written something to try and head him off, I'd be really grateful if you'd be prepared to share your code.

Hi

If like me you've tried to get help on using VS2010 Automated UI Testing with Telerik AJAX controls you'll know there's not much availible. Do a search for "UIMap" and all you'll get is a pdf that might as well be called "Why Test Studio is better than VS2010 Automated UI Testing".

Telerik Test Studio might well be a better test environment but at the end of the day like many other AJAX control users I've already bought VS2010 Ultimate with its own test recorder, editor etc and I've also bought Telerik AJAX Controls BECAUSE it is advertised as providing an "Improved Visual Studio Experience".

So the question is do Telerik AJAX Controls only improve our Visual Studio experience in areas that are not competing with other Telerik products? If so which bits of VS2010 integration will Telerik drop integration from their controls next? Telerik stand to make a lot of money from encouraging developers to get Test Studio of course, having structured their pricing so this involves a $1500 upgrade followed by significantly increased renewal costs.

The good news however in my exerience is that you can effectively use VS2010 Automated UI Tests with Telerik AJAX controls. There are however a number of gotchas. Whether these are down to Telerik paying insufficient attention to the VS envronment or whether as Telerik staff sniffily like to say they are "issues with your chosen test environment" depends who you talk to. What they seem to be missing is that our "chosen environment" is VS2010 and when Telerik stop supporting this they're on a slippery slope. It strikes me that not documenting this area is cynical.

If you'd like to see better integration/documentation of VS2010 testing I'd strongly encourage you to tell Telerik. If you're having problems give me a shout at GoldTechSvc@yahoo.co.uk and I'll try to help.

Hi,

I have used OnClientItemClicking="ChangeDetection_OnRecSelItemClicking" for handling filter item click event and working fine.

Now i want to handle client events for paging next, previous, page size change and Go button.

I am using :
<PagerStyle Mode="NextPrevNumericAndAdvanced" PageButtonCount="5" AlwaysVisible="true" />

Please suggest how i will execute the javascript methods for those.

warm regards,
Reyaz

With RadControls you no longer have to stick with simplistic UIs in your ASP.NET MVC Views. Telerik UI controls support Microsoft ASP.NET MVC and allow you to combine the testability and separation of concerns of the emerging technology with the richness of traditional ASP.NET server controls.

Here is a list of resources that will help you get started with RadControls in ASP.NET MVC:

• Online Documentation including general overview as well as specific topics for the controls
• Sample Application with source code included
• Couple of blogposts: here and here

Enjoy your ASP.NET MVC projects now with RadControls!

Hi,
i have a radfilter.
how can i go through the data text field in the radfilter, that are generated to build a query
to filter the data.
i mean is there any way to go through the data in controls that controls are generated
in Radfilter to build the query.

can we have multiple row expanded in case of HierarchyLoadMode.ServerOnDem and have ViewState holds all data for them?

or is it only allow row expanded at a time?

thanks,
