If not webified, perhaps you could add an online aspect to this.

I'd like to offer interactive training.  Watch a video, pause for comments, questions, and answers, then move on to another section.

That would be tres cool!

Thank you.

I often find a couple of "golden nuggets" of information in training/demo materials, and I would like to make a reference to them.

How about the ability to add a bookmark (along with a description) to a training video, and then even store that bookmark as a link, perhaps in "My Favorites".  If not in My Favorites, then perhaps some sort of link that I can paste into OneNote.

Thanks.

Hi,
this is not releated to the telerik controls, but maybe anyone can help:

In ASP.NET, if a linkbutton is disabled, it is rendered without a href, but with the disabled attribute, e.g:

this:

<asp:LinkButton ID="btnTest" runat="server" Text="a disabled LinkButton" Enabled="false"></asp:LinkButton>

produces the following HTML output:
<a id="btnTest" disabled="disabled">a disabled LinkButton</a>

Does anyone know if there's a way to define a style in CSS that only applies to links which are disabled (which have the disabled="disabled" attribute)?

Thanks for any help,
Martin

Hello Everyone,

We have a client which I will not be supporting any longer at my office as per terms of our agreement. She is easy to get along with, and a very well-thoughtout person (so shes not a client who is too difficult to communicate with).

The project is a small CRM which helps them track clients, sites, equipment (currently 2 makes, about 10 models of equipment that they make), service tickets, pre-created reports are also in the program.(very simple ones at that)

This was a high-speed development, which though works pretty well, was what we called a "phase 1". They wanted something, and I gave it to them quickly. I personally don't have the time after hours at work anymore to support the software and further develop on it beyond our initial agreement, and would like to find someone to pick it up from me.

As mentioned, this was a Phase 1. The effort was not in the visuals as per the clients request, but by using RadSplitter, RadPane, RadCombobox, RadWindow, RadGrid, and RadMenu (all classic) I was able to keep a relatively nice and clean look throughout.

Phase 2 will probably include further tracking of clients, additional equipment profiles to be managed (meaning custom forms which hold data for each make, and can be tracked).

It currently is 100% vb.net with a MSSQL 2005 database backend. It contains about a dozen tables, maybe 30 stored procedures, and about 10-15 manually coded queries through the RadGrid or other SqlAdapters.

I will, by email, explain how it was all developed once someone has been hired as the main lead for the project, and explain what the intentions were of each decision made to help make the transition easier.

In Phase 2, some code-rewriting is expected, though this is actually a very simple data insert, data retrieval, data display application with no real complexity in logic, so there is nothing to be scared of.

Turnaround on updates/fixes is not expected at this time to be same day. Though the requests of the client may change in the future. (though like any client, by communicating my time frames, she is usually very happy.)

Anyone who is interested in this, please respond with your email address, or some contact information so that I can email you privately. I will be asking what your per-hour rates are, what your availability for such a project is, and how much experience you have in vb.net, mssql, and the telerik tools.

Also if you have any questions, please feel free to respond, so that I can better answer to anyone whom may be interested.

Thanks!
George

We are enthusiastic to announce the launch of the Telerik Skin Exchange Program – http://www.telerik.com/skins! We have created a meeting place for community members to exchange home-grown skins for the Telerik ASP.NET AJAX components. We know a lot of you have come up with amazing designs for our components and wanted to enable a platform to show these off and help the community. Seeing the tremendous support you guys give to each other every day on our forums and code library, we are confident you will take up on the initiative so we can build up a useful new resource for everyone in the community.

As usual, your efforts will not go unrewarded – we are giving out up to 30,000 Telerik points for each product skin published.

A big thanks in advance to all participants!

The trainer is excellent; thanks to Telerik and Falafel for their hard work in producing a highly worthwhile learning aid.  My one small gripe is that it asks me every time whether I want to delete the temporary files it has made.  Is there an option somewhere we can check that allows the trainer to delete the files each time without asking?  I can't ever see myself wanting to keep them -- what would be the purpose?

Cheers,

Ed

Scott Guthrie's Blog has a post on a technique to embed logical views into a browser's history list.

Here's a link to the blog entry: link

Note, I haven't played with this yet. But the idea seems so useful I wanted to share it right away.

Hello,

Having reviewed the updates and additions in 2007 Q2 release I feel somewhat disappointed. I use RadGrid alot; however, the latest version seems lacking as a new version. The frozen column is a nice feature but the other 4 'new' features seem non-exciting (obviously subjective.) Export to CSV and PDF while nice are not what users care about from my experience (Export to something is important but it already exports to Excel and Word.) RTL support may be important to some and ControlState doesn't seem like a new feature (the explanation is not clear to me on first read.)

Filtering data in a grid is extremely important and yet the filtering does not appear updated. It would seem things like easy filtering of columns using dropdown boxes, calendars, custom selections for each column would have been a great addition for a Grid....much much much much more important than Export to CSV. I know this can be done with custom code, but I use controls to cut down on custom code. Alphabet paging without writing code would be great.A couple more off the top of my head...merging of header cells...merging of same value row cells.

And that is the only ASP.NET control with a new major revision in about 5 months.

I use RadAjax on most of my pages and in my web user controls. It is very time consuming to switch over to the Prometheus version of Ajax because only one manager is allowed on a page. This means a complete retesting of an application. It would have been nice to supply a conversion tool for this control.

My first experience with Prometheus was with the Splitter and it didn't work. Even though this a 'Go Live' product it took about a month for a fix to happen. Not a big deal for a Beta product but I feel expected to use Beta products now or I don't get anything new. This particular Splitter experience really affect my view of all this. I spent 8 hours trying to get a control to work and thinking it was my fault because I didn't understand how to set up my application.

Also, Sitefinity doesn't support Prometheus which is stopping me from using that product because I am afraid of mid development or post development nightmares. 

I  just released a new application and can't upgrade the product in the 'near' future without a recoding of the site.

I feel like development of RadControls for ASP.NET for the most part ceased in April 2007.

Maybe its me but I just have a bad feeling from all of this, like everything is getting more complicated instead of easier.

Thanks for listening,
John
