Hi all

Hi ,

I'm very excited to bring you this news. After much hard work and planning, we have finally launched the brand new Telerik video portal, dubbed Telerik TV. The new Telerik TV portal has been designed to bring you the best video experience possible on the web, and it's been built from the ground-up using the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX and Telerik OpenAccess ORM. Among the most important features of the new video portal:

• Big, easy-to-view videos
• Ajax-enabled video commenting
• Super flexible RSS support (make any search an RSS feed)
• Easy video browsing by product type
• Descriptive video URLs that are easy to bookmark and share
• Video "channels" for shows like Telerik Watch Minute and RadTips

We think you're really going to enjoy this new system for viewing videos at Telerik. Our goal is to make this your "one stop shop" for all video from Telerik so that it is very easy to discover video support resources. The site also stands to demonstrate the power and productivity of the RadControls and OpenAccess products- I coded the entire site from scratch in less than 3 weeks (that's part-time development, it probably could be done in a week with full-time development). This is another prime "real world example" of how the tools from Telerik help you achieve outstanding results in very little time.

We're far from done, too. Many of our older videos need to be updated to look "great" at the native "big video" size for the site (and we're actively working on that). We have plans to further improve the UX of the site. And, of course, we have tons of new video content in the pipes that will be regularly added to the site. We want your feedback, too! Let us know how we can improve the site and we'll work hard to make this the best video portal around. For now, though, enjoy the new site and have fun exploring the video content at Telerik!

How do I find out what tradeshows that Telerik will be exhibiting?

It looks like the trainer does not support default instances.  I have SQL 2005 Developer as a named instance (which it finds) and 2008 Developer as a default instance, which it can not find.

I'm currently working with Telerik Trainer 2.3.2.12.
But the application tells me there is no instance of SQL Server installed on my computer.
I'm running SQL Server 2008 Developer edition on the default instance with Windows Authentication.
I recently have installed SQL Server 2008 SP 1.

What could be the problem?

Let me first start by saying my graphics skills are deplorable.  However, I can confidently work in css and come up with a new skin if a customer asks for it, with the exception of the glassy elements in the sprite files which make or break a good skin.

What I have no idea how to do is create the sprite file, or replace one item with the other.  Is there a tutorial, or tool that makes this process easier?  I tried the paint bucket in gimp and it was pathetic, and also rendered in a color other than what I had hoped.

Thanks.

Hi ,
I installed the telerik radcontrols for asp.net ajax Q3 2009 SP1, but I get this error in my visual studio 2008 application-
Could not load file or assembly 'Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2009.3.1103.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

I have referenced the Telerik.Web.UI.dll located in the bin folder of my application.

Can anybody help me overcome this error?

thanks,
