Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone knew what happened with the partnership between Telerik and Intersoft (WebGrid)?  I have been a customer of both companies for quite a while and have banked on both companies products, largely because they seemed to be working together as companies.

My concern going forward is that there seems to be some interoperability concerns between the upcoming release of WebGrid 4.0 and some of the Telerik controls.  I don't intend to go into technical details here because that is not my issue in this post, but to put it mildly, Intersoft support is not being kind to Telerik on their beta forums and is basically telling us to ditch Telerik.

I think Telerk has great products and outstanding top notch support.  Intersoft has a great product as well, but with horrible support and bascially no documentation other than the basics.  I am hopeful that Telerik will one day offer the same type of functionality in their RadGrid (hint hint), but for now I have to make everything play nicely.  Also, making the switch is not an overnight process.

So, what ever happened to the partnership?  I'm certainly not trying to put Telerik on the sport here, but is there any chance that Telerik will be open to support issues regarding interoperability with their former business partner?

Thanks,
Chris

Sorry I originally posted thsi under the Beta section, but after using a brain cell or two I relized that was for your Menu beta control, but any guys in support willing or able to give us a update on the progress to VS Beta 2 support? I'm very eager to continue working on a project in Beta 2, but sadly can't proceed until my controls are fixed ;) So if you need a priority list I'd go Menu, Editor, PanelBar, and then TabStrip! Ok I have a personal stake in those but any update to any control would be great! Thanks guys in advance!

Titile / Subject Switched?  (This should be the subject)

Just thought you should know that when you are subscribed to a thread, the forums are also emailing your own posts back to you (which didn't use to happen and I'm not so sure is supposed to happen now).

I noticed that Mr. Milton now has a little "MVP" icon next to his name, and I would like to congratulate him in that regard.
 
What are the requirements / obligations / advantages to become a Telerik MVP?

Hi Telerik,

What controls in the rad.control package will be able to use asp.net v2 features like themes, skins, embedding in formview, acces objectdatasources, etc?

Well, I'm posting this here since there's really no good place to post this.  I just was browsing through part of the Telerik site and was reading some of the text about their open positions and found the following things quite humorous:

Customer Support Engineer:

If this opportunity fits in your career plans, and you are interested in joining a very talented, award-winning development team, please send the following items to careers@telerik.com:
• Resume in English in XML format
• C# code, along with instructions how to use it to parse the resume and display it in a webform

Sorry to waste forum space but found these 2 things humorous (although the resume thing is probably a good idea for what you're looking for) and wanted to point them out to others.  :)

I really like the new forum - when do you release the r.a.d.forum control ;-)

A small usability issue - when adding  a thread and pressing tab in the "Title" field nothing happens, I would expect a cursor jump to r.a.d.editor ?

It would be nice if the discussion forums on this site would email you when someone makes a post to your thread.  On the www.asp.net site the discussion forums have the option to "send me an email" when someone makes a post to a thread that you started.
