Hi,

     I have a DNN site and I was thinking about using some of the Telerik DNN skins. i was wondering if I had to have a seperate license to use these DNN skins ?     
   thanks

I have a site with a messy URL.  A number of key fields are passed using query parameters.  I would like to use a URL rewrite tool to display a friendlier URL to the user and for Search Engine Optimization (SEO).  I am looking at the IIS 7.0 URL rewrite capabilities, but I thought Sitefinity/Telerik provided some sort of URL rewrite capablity.  Can you tell me if it does, and if it does point me to some documentation as well as an example?

Thank you.

i have a rad data grid with rad combo in it but the data gets laded from the DB alternatively. i might be missing or might have done something wrong.Hope to get a reply....

I need to create a site map to improve how Google crawls the site.  I am looking for advice on what are good tools to use to produce the XML file, robots.txt, and ror.xml files.  Thank you.

Hi,

I couldn't find a better place to post this question/suggestion - is there a Telerik how-to book in the works by anyone?  I would love to see the code alongside with text explaining how and why things are done in certain ways. Maybe a chapter or two focusing on integrating controls, with and without the AjaxManager, using web services, and client-side programming using the Telerik lib? :)

Best Regards,
Alex

Hello,

I would like to hear a little more about how others use TFS to manage their projects in regards to Iterations and Areas and maybe give some constructive criticism and helpful advice on possible problems with our methods.

To give a background we have several SaaS solutions for US imports that are always updated on a monthly to quarterly basis.  We're a mixed environment with VB6, .NET 2.0 and WPF (.NET 3.5).   We also have a few contract projects that we're keeping separate within TFS.

So-far we've been creating work items tagged with an iteration of "Dev", "QA", "Release" with a few sub-categories for reporting.  These iterations change on the work items as we move from one stage to another.

Our areas are set to the actual or projected release... i.e. Release 2009.1, .2, .3 etc...

During releases we branch our code into the release name and set the iterations on all tickets that are within that release to the appropriate area (QA, Stage, Release etc).

This has worked OK for us, but I believe there may be a better way especially when using the Telerik work item manager.

My quesiton really is are we using iterations and areas the way they were meant to be used?

  Hi,
   In the forums, beside a posters name, I see these from time to time. 
   what constitutes the designation of "Intermediate", "Master" and "MVP" ?  Is there a place I can go to read about these ?  just curious.
 thanks

I thought that this title would get your attention.

I love the r.a.d. tool suite because the engineering that goes into these products is top-notch.

But what I'm going to make a push for here is to now take the tools to the next level by adding GUI sexiness to the mix.  What I'm getting at here is that web world seems to be quickly becoming Web 2.0 centric with AJAX all the buzz and technologies like JSON and visual effects libraries like Dojo, Scriptaculous, moo.fx, and Walter Zorn's Drag and Drog library.

I think that now is time to add visual pizzazz to all of the tools including alpha channeled PNG graphics (as standard, even with IE), opacity, color shifting of objects, fading, animation (both linear and along paths such as parabolas, ellipse, sinoidal, etc.) and of course acceleration of objects in motion (acceleration and deceleration).  In other words, could telerik make a standard "library" of features that all of its tools could call upon -- ala "prototype" or "behaviour" or "scriptaculous".

If this could be so, then I would propose that we send telerik links to examples of what we really really want in such a "library".  This will help them visualize exactly what would need to be addressed in order to make our products visually act as we desire.

As I see it, there would be several sub-library modules that would drive the whole solution, but only be called in js if they were actually needed in order to perform a function -- ala Dojo.  This would keep the .js files sizes down to a reasonable level.

Here a a possible starting point:

• radBrowserCaps.js - browser sniffing
• radDOMHelper.js - akin to "prototype.js" helper functions
• radEventHandler.js - CSS integrated behaviors
• radSlider.js - slider functionality
• radGlidePath - object movement path calculation
• radAnimation.js - object movement and acceleration
• radOpacity.js - opacity shifting - ie fading
• radSizing.js - object sizing
• radObjectWrappers.js - wrappers for embedded object inclusion into webpages including: Flash, Media Player, JAVA Applets, Quicktime, Real Player, etc.
• radEffects.js - predesigned effects combining several transitions
• radAJAXJSON.js - AJAX and JSON functionality
• radWhatever.js - who knows what this will be, but I'm sure it will be something

This could all be the basis for new cool telerik solution-specific turnkey products like:

• r.a.d.Chat
• r.a.d.OutlookClone
• r.a.d.PictureBrowser - ala Flicker
• r.a.d.WidgetEngine

Anybody else want this stuff?  I want my web apps to have content that glides-in, fades-out and fades-in, collapses smoothly, puffs-away, moves offscreen in a smooth arc in gradual acceleration, self-adjust in size, auto-scrolls, etc.  Now is that too much to ask??  Well maybe, but I know that it really is quite doable now-a-days!

I have alot of samples that I would love to share in order to give telerik some inspiration of what's possible... but I'll save that for another thread.

Thanks for listening!

When I try and view any video using either IE8 or Chrome I just get a blank window.  If I right-click on the blank area it says "movie not loaded".  I tried updating to latest flash player 10 but still get the same.

Do you guys get drunk and do stupid tricks with fireworks like we do in the States?

Happy Independence Day!

Cheers!
