Hi,

after one month of working with Telerik controls, the documentation is the last place I would want to go. Lets take an example:

I would like to know more about RadTreeListView SelectionChanged event (its simple, probably everybody uses it, and probably all know what it is, but we should never guess, but always make sure we get it right). So I open silverlight online help:

1. type SelectionChanged, I will get 147 results, and if you look at the list itself, most of them are meaningless, - there is no extra info.
2. Lets try typing RadTreeListView SelectionChanged. I get 104 results... again list displays meaningless info - look at the first 10 items to understand what I mean.
3. Lets try to search RadTreeListView class. NEVER use Tree-content on the left side, it is a pain to use it. You need to click on API reference, then wait for page to load again (???), then scroll down to Controls namespace, then wait the page to load again, then scrool waaaaaaaaay down to RadTreeListVIew, then wait for page to load again, then scroll waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down to RadTreeListView... I could save myself with half of the scrollings if page was not loaded each time I select something... never use table of context... instead use search... typing RadTreeListView, and then clicking on the class info,
4. click on members, and then I can see that there are no inherited members... so now, if I need to find an inherited member, I will need to know from what class was it inherited. But I don't know that...
5. I go back to Class info, there I see it inherits from GridViewDataControl (has link), and implements IThemable (no link). I will not speak about interfaces anymore, it seems that they are not documented at all.
6. Click on the GridViewDataControl, then members, then search in events - nope, its not there
7. GOing back to GridViewDataControl class info, to see what does it inherit. It inherits from baseItemsControl (link)
8. Click on BaseItemsControl, then members, then search events - nope, still not there....
9. Going back to BaseItemsControl class info, then see what it inherits - DataControl
10. Click on DataControl, then members, aaand voila - finally I found it.

Now think if RadTreeListView would list all events, inherited and its own, so I just need to look into members of RadTreeListView. I dont want to take credits for inventing this, this is already used on many websites that show documentation for particular software.

Now lets discuss about information in documentation. Lets go again to members of RadtreeListView. I know you are tempted to use table of context, but dont, use search instead. We will look at the properties that are listed. What you see written in the description, you will see the same if you click on the property link. MOstly the information contain the property name with spaces, and added Get / set in front of it. Take the AutoLoadHierarchy. We dont know what is the default value, we dont see any explanation, so it is expected that you understand what it is. Why would I come to read the link then at all, what is the purpose of its existence? And there are tons of info like this.

I know, if you put a lot of information, you would need to keep it updated, more work, but then again, your support should have less job buy answering support tickets and forum threads.

Goran

I had a chance to read this blog post today about the Q3 2012 release:

http://blogs.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/posts/12-10-18/rock-n-roll-with-telerik-s-asp-net-ajax-q3-2012-release.aspx?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+AspnetAjaxTeamsFeed+%28ASP.NET+AJAX+Team%27s+Feed%29&utm_content=My+Yahoo

The blogger was right. I checked out your latest demo page and I was surprised... It looks really great! If I could hang it on my wall, it would undoubtedly add to the beauty of my room. However, I am not an art gallery owner. I am a software developer. And despite their many aesthetic qualities, your new demo pages are a step backwards in UI design. Why do I have to click and scroll so much to view what I want? Why is everything SO BIG?

Its almost as if the marketing department at Telerik has completely taken control over the operation. Everything has to be a selling point.

If you want to make your integration examples primarily a sales resouce, then by all means, spruce them up. But your demo pages are supopsed to be primarily a technical resource. And in that, you should be striving to make them better for developers, not for marketers.

In reference to the new demo pages, the blogger said  "we worked hard to make them more user- and mobile-friendly".

She got it half right. I guess the next time I find myself coding on my iPad and need to take a look at a Telerik demo.. I'll be all set.

Hi, 

I'm moving from an elder software system of representing appointments to rad scheduler. I have attached a picture where you can see the date as rows and the time as columns. In my particular application it has the benefit to quickly spot empty appointments on a month view. In the current month view I have to look at the times next to the name and compare and search. It would be of great help in my profession to quickly spot where are open slots for appointments.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Hello,

How can you access the forums from the main page (www.telerik.com) the quickest?  After the redesign, it seems the quickest way requires a lot of clicks, minus just typing in the URL.

Thanks.

Hi,
I am in the process of upgrading my project fro SF 5.0 to SF 5.1.34. But I am getting an error 
"Could not load file or assembly 'Telerik.Sitefinity' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."
in this line of web.config

<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="102400" maxUrlLength="102400" maxQueryStringLength="102400" requestValidationType="Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Claims.CustomRequestValidator, Telerik.Sitefinity"/>

Anyone to help me?

Hi Team,

Greetings....!

We need to provide dynamic translation of names and other important fields like address etc in our software. We can use translators but it works only if we have internet connection. We need a solution to work during offline mode and for controls. As we have proposal to buy telerik, we need to know wether is the above possible. Please feel free to ask if you have any queries regarding this.

Thanks in advance

While it is nice that I get a little notification in Visual Studio telling me that the version of my Telerik controls in the project I just opened is out of date, having the notification window slowly fade in and out is really irritating given that it is modal, so I have to sit and wait for the animation to complete before I can do anything else in the UI.

Is that under your (Telerik's) control?  If so, please eliminate the fade and just pop up a non-modal window.

Thanks,

John H.

When you install Telerik tools you are actually sending login credentials to server to activate right? I see them being passed in http without any encryption albeit as an XML string. See the capture below. Confidential info changed.

Can you fix this please?
