Hi all,

This is maybe a topic I should know about, but everytime I face this problem, I just try to understand it, but I don't :)

I have just finished my ASP.NET application (.NET 3.0, r.a.d.controls and SQL Server 2005).
Everything works fine on my development machine, of course. But now I want to deploy everything to a production machine and here is where the problems start. Well, at least in this situation.

Setting up IIS 6.0 etc. and creating the website is going okay. No problems. Setting up the SQL 2005 database is going okay.

Running the app and connecting to the database is a problem. The user is not allowed to login.

Now I have given dbo.owner rights to a domain user. This domain user is also the user I use in my connectionstring.

What more do I have to do, to let this domain user have access to my database?
I always thought that having a user and password inside the connectionstring was enough to get a connection (at least locally that works!?). I know about the worker process running on a different account etc. but to me it seems that this isn't the problem in this case?

Could anybody give me some advice on how I should configure my web.config, sql server etc? I tried to many options and I'm a bit lost now...

Thanks,
Daniel

I cant figure out where my question belongs but its regarding sitefinity.

I made a project/solution on visual studio 2005 and i wanted to upload it to sitefinity and be able to edit the controls.

Is there a way to edit a premade project (not one made within sitefinity)?

It is our pleasure to announce the immediate availability of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q1 2008 SP2 (Version number 2008.1.619).

Check out the the full Release Notes 

Happy Coding!
Telerik Team.

Need a document control solution. We tried useing SharePoint but for what we are looking for it was not working. Site needs to handle this process:
1. Document is uploaded into document library
    On upload - Document Footer is replaced with custom. Minor version added to footer
2. Document goes through revision process
    -Document is "Checked In/out"
    -Document footer is updated to match revision (ie. if document library says document is .3 minor version, document itself says .3)
3. Document is ready for approval/publishing
    -Workflow begins when document is set to publish major version
    -On appropriate approval, document is updated to reflect major version as well as converted to PDF. The PDF will then move off the site into a file system or another site.
4. Solution needs to be able to roll back versions
5. Solution to use Office 2007

How much will this cost?
Any Takers?

Hello everyone,

Watch this funny video!

Until yesterday, at least, you had Demos listed under the support menu.  Today, I must click on support - go to the support main page - click on the Demos button toward the bottom.  AND that doesn't take me to the prometheus demos - just the old ones.

Has a Telerik Customer for over 2 years now, I now know what to expect from new releases. A lot of Changes and Backwards incompatibilities. Telerik continues to remove properties, methods, change how controls work, renaming properties like the Image to ImageUrl without persisting the old ones for a while.

I'm not saying this changes shouldn't happen, but I believe that they should happen progressively without causing a complete breakdown of a project after an upgrade. Like I wrote on a support ticket, I managed to convert as asp.net 1.1 project into a 2.0 project without these kind of breaks that we have with Telerik controls. Every upgrade is the same old story. Endless hours fixing code. For instance, why did you remove the Title property from the DockingZone object? Did you consider that it could be in use by someone? I know that I can have the same property using Attributes["Title"] but the thing is that I had to change a lot of code because of that. Another amusing change is the property Image to ImageUrl just because it sounds better and makes more sense. I agree, but you should have left the old property for some time so that we could change that without breaking the code.

In a project where we use 5 controls, upgrading to a new release has always been a nightmare because we know that the next week will be just for code fix. The worst thing is, the faulty releases with bugs that only exist because probably no intense testing was made to the controls. Has I'm writing, RadTreeview has a bug where checking a checkbox with AutoPostBack=true and AutoPostBackOnCheck=false causes a postback. How can this happen in a final release? Of course, I just found that the problem wasn't mine after a lost day and finally a support ticket in a total of 1 day and a half lost for this issue.

This kind of errors has soon has they are discovered by Telerik, should be reported in the control Forum so that everyone could know what to expect. The first thing I did after detecting the problem was look for an answer in the forum but with no success. If there was a Telerik Latest Bugs Topic for each control, I'm sure that it would help developers a lot.

Telerik must understand that it's important for us, developers to trust in new releases and not be concerned about the number of days we will have ahead to fixe hundreds of lines once again. That is no way to work. You should be aware of this, and ensure backwards compatibility.

I speak for my self, but I would rather have a one year release without any breaking changes and without bugs. It would be fantastic to just copy the new files over the old ones with everything working.

Curiously, I found some properties where you show a warning of  "property deprecated" showing the new property to use. This would be perfect if you didn't transform that property to a readonly, breaking the code anyway and not allowing the developer to change to the new property over time.

Microsoft did that with the 2.0 Framework. A lot of methods changed, but the old ones still where working with a warning in the compiler telling you to change  to the new one. That is the way to go.

I hope you take this has a positive critique and keep up the good work.

Hi, today I noticed that Telerik Points can be viewed under Community->Telerik Points and Client.net->Telerik Points.  These two link to two different pages, http://www.telerik.com/client.net/telerik-points.aspx and http://www.telerik.com/community/telerik-points.aspx respectively.  I just wanted to report this, whether it is necessary or not to remove one :).

Thanks in advance for reading.

This is more of a question than a suggestion, but I think this is the best place to put this.  What are the various post count requirements for the rankings on the forum (None, Intermediate, Master).  I do remember I was "Intermediate" at one point, but maybe the requirements changed or it is on a per month basis.

Thanks!
