Hi, actually have used Kendo UI here and there. But never really understand the difference among those. Just know UI MVC is a wrapper to enable Kendo UI in MVC razor & Kendo UI is a Javascript UI library? How about UI AJAX? Please clarify. Thanks a lot!

Installed UI for AJAX through .msi. i think it is installed because when i clicked it again. it detected the component. Then i am wondering how to create an UI for AJAX project? because all i have under 'Telerik' in 'File' -> 'New' -> 'Project' are UI for MVC & Kendo UI. Where is this UI for AJAX. Also, the docs on Telerik site are a big confusing, with all those for older ASP.NET versions and stuff. I didn't even find those assembles such as 'Telerik.Web.UI.dll', 'Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.dll' from 'Add Reference'.

 

Seriously, where is the right place to look at UI for AJAX or how to start at all?

I have a RadlistView and RadDataPager working just fine, except that the pageSize dropdown at the top and the sort by: drop down at the bottom are disabled until the page postsback.  Here is my code:

Hello,

As the title says it, I would like to know how to get the value of a text box in my nestedViewTemplate while I am in the ItemCommand event.

When I cast the Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs e to a GridNestedViewItem, it says the cast is wonrg. If I cast it to GridDataItem, then my text box is after I used FindControl("myTextBoxID")

What would be the way to do that please?

 

Thank you

Here is the ASPX code:

Here is the code behind:

New values for "StaffMemberID" is always "" but should be the selected value of the RadDropDownList, oldvalues does not even contain this item.

It seems the OnClientBlur event is not firing with the latest version - unless you tab off the control.  If you blur by clicking your mouse outside of the combobox the event is not fired...  

I am using a radGrid which is inside an RadAjaxPanel.  I want to capture the DataKey value of Selected Row on a button Click Outside the Grid.   Though the button is also contained in the same RadAjaxPanel.   But Everytime I click the button, It returns 0 value for selected row.  I have tried using following code. 

 

 Protected Sub btnUpload_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
        Dim PersonEducationID As Long = -1

I also tried to enable Autopostback on row selection but that did not help. 

Can you please suggest me why is this happening. I am struggling from hours now. 

Hi,

Please help in the following issue .
The asp.net validator controls (like required field validator, compare validator etc) are firing after the postback (when the submit or rad grid insert button is pressed). This is happening in the case when the RadAjaxPanel is used.



Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

I have problem with export to csv footer total.In scv file not display footer total.
When I export the same data into pdf, i have no problem.


Thanks,
Igor

I'm using a RadGrid in a multi-language/multi-cultural web application.  This grid contains columns with fractional Width values and am seeing the rendered HTML is invalid when the page's culture is set to one that uses commas for decimal places.  To recreate the issue, I created a very simple web app with a RadGrid and added a GridDateTimeColumn defined like this:

<telerik:RadGrid runat="server" ID="RadGrid1">
  <MasterTableView>
    <Columns>
      <telerik:GridDateTimeColumn HeaderStyle-Width="10.5em" UniqueName="Col1" DataField="Col1" />
      <telerik:GridDateTimeColumn HeaderStyle-Width="15.8em" UniqueName="Col2" DataField="Col2" />
    </Columns>
  </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

When setting the Page's Culture property to one that uses a comma as the decimal place (for example "fr-FR") the rendered grid also has the format applied to the property value, which is certainly undesirable.  In Internet Explorer, these invalid strings are ignored and replaced with an empty property value, however Chrome renders these grids as follows:

<table class="rgMasterTable" id="RadGrid1_ctl00" style="width:100%;table-layout:auto;empty-cells:show;">
  <colgroup>
    <col style="width:10,5em" />
    <col style="width:15,8em" />
  </colgroup>
<thead>

While the browsers appear to output some default column widths (thus ignoring the invalid values), where things really go wrong is when trying to persist the grid's settings using a RadPersistenceManager.  When trying to reload the grid's columns widths, an error is encountered due to trying to load the invalid number formats, or in other cases the grid is rendered with the columns completely missing from the display.

I'm not sure if it's against best practice to use fractional values for Width properties, but we have done this in a number of places in our application and it does not appear to be a problem with generic ASP.NET controls such as GridViews where they aren't trying to apply a format to a property value.

I would appreciate some guidance... are we violating a best practice, missing something obvious, or is this a bug in the RadGrid, column control, or (less likely) the RadPersistenceManager?


I'm running the 2016-Q2 release of the controls and am developing in a .NET 4.5 application.
