I prefer Wally's. ;)

This is the funniest video I've seen in a long time.

I laughed so hard I fell out of my chair!

Im using Menu control, and have tried for several hours now to get any of the offered download skins to apply, and no way - this thing has to hate me.

The read me in the zip file is horrible.

I read the VS2005 help that installed with the control, and followed its simple one/two steps, but NO WaY.

Please, someone who knows, reply with exact steps to apply a skin using menu control with VS2005 / v2.0 Framework, thanks.

We have wasted hours combing through examples trying to discover the declarative syntax for Telerik controls. We have not found the declarative syntax documented for any of the controls we use. We have often found properties that were actually supported but were not shown on a Properties page and some that were shown while in Design mode but not in Source mode (when they would actually be useful). Microsoft does not do a careful job documenting the syntax of their controls, but at least they list all the properties. We use this information often and are badly handicapped by the lack of comparable information for Telerik controls. It is turning what was supposed to be "rapid application development" into just the opposite -- a nightmare of experimental programming and code combing.

For example, from "Web server control syntax" in Microsoft MSDN, here's the start of the listing for the <asp:Menu> control --
<asp:Menu
    AccessKey="string"
    BackColor="color name|#dddddd"

I know this has nothing to do with telerik and has everything to do with IE, but just thought I'd point out that I can't login to my Client.net account using IE7 - which is really freakin' annoying.  What is also a little bit wierd is that I can login using IE7 on other sites - so perhaps it's not entirely an IE7 thing.  I'm a bit curious to know what type of authentication the telerik site uses (or if perhaps this is a server issue), etc., etc., so that I don't make the same mistake.

Hello telerik-folks!

I got the order for a project where i have to view/group/sort/search a lot of data on basis of an intranet-app. At first i thought 'hmmm, could not be THAT hard to do this stuff'... yepp, but after a short period of evaluation i found out - it actually IS complex - even more if you like to do it with ajax (and have never used ajax before - because you are a windows-forms guy ;) )

To come to the point: I googled for components, found some and downloaded evals for three of them, one of which was your component suit r.a.d.controls.

Im so stunned by just the r.a.d.Grid that i even cannot really express it. The documentation is fantastic - i needed just about an hour to implement EVERYTHING i want (graphical customization excluded...) and for which i have estimated a few WEEKS to do it myself.

This is simply amazing! After some other days of evaluation (i'm not even through with the grid, not speaking of all the other cool stuff) i will place an order ;-)

Thanks for your really great work!!!

Sincerely, Wolfgang

I just found out that the producers of Halo (Bungie) are using r.a.d.editor for content entry and r.a.d.ajax for updates on their huge community site. Pretty cool.

I've blogged on this rather important for me topic here:

Hi everyone

I write a CMS which references lots of Telerik controls and I have run into a problem.

The CMS allows you to upload third-party .NET user controls and run them within the site design so that you can have dynamic pages managed within the database - you just have to upload the DLL to the bin folder to add to the ones already there for the CMS.

The problem I have is that sometimes those 'plugin projects' DLLs might reference a Telerik DLL, a different version to the one used by the CMS.

This then means that if I recompile the CMS to include the latest MINOR version increases on the Telerik stuff (even hotfixes), the application fails because the plugin DLL was not built for the very very latest Telerik DLL - even though I know it will run beause the API hasn't changed.

So my question is, does anyone know how I can compile the plugin projects to very loosely reference the DLL by just its path, rather than the entire strong name of the Telerik assembly? So that it doesn't throw an exception if the version number changes? If I were to be changing a MAJOR version of the Telerik DLL I would be happy to recompile all the plugin projects, but not for every Hotfix....

Either that, or if someone knows of a way to have two versions of the same assembly within one application that would be even better. I thought this was possible with side-by-side execution but I have a feeling you can't do it within the same ASP.NET application.

Any and all help GREATLY appreciated!

Many thanks

Alex
