one datagource -> two grids

Hi,
i am new in telerik controls. I've problem with one datasource bound to two grids.

First grid contains only columns from 2 to 5 and ID
Second grid contains columns from 6 to 10 + ID
All other columns are hidden (e.g: last user, change date)

When I edit data using first Grid, all other data are set to null (row in second grid looks like blank).

RadWindow not popping up

I had some code in a server side event where it would build a RadWindow and try to open it up from a record on a RadGrid.

After unsuccessfully trying, I removed the AjaxSettings block for that particular control from my markup within the RadAjaxManager and the window popped up. Unfortuantely, the grid now posts back and is not ajaxified anymore which is very annoying.

What I did was to put the AjaxSettings back and use the following instead of building the RadWindow:
<code>
string s = "window.open('../scan/viewChart.aspx','_blank','width=1000,height=600,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes\');";
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this.Page, this.GetType(), "alert", s, true);
</code>

This works fine, but was wondering if there is anyother way to keep the grid ajaxified and to launch a window without using window.open.

Thanks,

Bill.

slow selection and transfer

I have two RadListBox controls on my page. These controls are inside an UpdatePanel. There are few other controls on the page, just a couple of radio buttons. I am transferring items in the left list to the right list in the standard way, according to the sample. The left (or source) list contains about 300 items. Each item is defined by an item template. The item template defines a table with two columns (table name, field name). The data in that list is coming from a declaratively bound objectdatasource. I have tried various combinations of property setting/clearing on the list control but cannot get very good performance in any case. It takes about 2.5 seconds for the list control to completely reflect that a new item has been selected. Further, it takes about 3 seconds for the tranfer from the left to the right list control to complete. There does not appear to be any postbacks occuring nor is there any data 'rebinding' occuring. Why would this control's performance be so dodgy for only a couple of hundred items? Am I missing some finer point? Note that I have seen a similar post where a user had performance problems as well, but that was for 15,000 items. I can reasonably see a problem occuring in that scenario. Also note that when I programmatically limit the data returned from the objectdatasource (and thus into the source list control) to say 10 or 20 items, the performance is much better. Finally, note the performance of the ASP.NET list control is very good in this scenario, but you cannot replicate multiple columns on that list control without resorting to custom string formatting and the use of fixed width fonts. Thanks.

Week number for a given date

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to get an easy way to obtain the Week Number for a given date. I have found the following GetWeekNumber function but it is not the same number that RadCalendar displays.

public static int GetWeekNumber(DateTime dtPassed)

{

CultureInfo ciCurr = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture;

int weekNum = ciCurr.Calendar.GetWeekOfYear(dtPassed, CalendarWeekRule.FirstFourDayWeek, DayOfWeek.Monday);

return weekNum;

}

Does anyone know how to retrieve the Week number display in the Rad Calendar?

also,

Does anyone know how to select a week based on a Week number in the Rad Calendar?

Your response to this thread would be excellent.

Regards,

Alberto

[Solved] Setting editor to readonly, but keep the toolbar

Howdy,

I am using the editor with a custom button which highlights selected text and allows users to make comments on content. I need to set the content area of the editor to read-only, but I don't want to lose my button functionality. I tried enabled = false but that just dumped the content with no toolbar.

Thanks,
David

Unable to localize RadScheduler in DNN

I'm using Telerik,Web.UI with version 2010.2.713.40. I've developed a module for DNN with a RadScheduler control and I want to localize it in spanish.

Usually when I localize a Telerik control I make a copy of the english resource file, in this case RadScheduler.Main.resx, rename it to RadScheduler.Main.es-ES.resx and put it in the App_GlobalResources of the portal (not the App_GlobalResources of the module).

But now this doesn't seemt to work. What i'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance
