Download questions

[Ben Hayat]

Just downloaded the CTP and have a few questions:

a) I see two projects: SilverlightExamples and Telerik.Windows.Examples
Could you explain or provide some docs to identify these and which one is for what?

b) In the Binaries folder, there are several Dlls. Can you identify the two Telerik.Quickstart and Telerik.Window.Quickstart.
Which one of these need to be referenced in our projects?

c) Your main sample is very impressive, but due to this size and lots of stuff in it, can make things unclear to get an understanding and learning each component.
Can you please provide somewhat simpler and individual samples for your components, rather trying to shuffle through the whole main sample?

one off topic question: Does this forum editor have the capacity to Quote an statement? Most forum editors have a button that when you press, it puts [Quote] tags on the screen so you can put your text in there.

Thanks!

Hello Ben,

All you need to do in order to play with the examples is to run the RadControls.Silverlight2.Demos.sln file in the main folder.

Here is a description for the rest of the folders and files:
--------------
Binaries
--------------

Telerik.QuickStart.dll - this dll contains controls needed for the sample quick start application. You do NOT need to reference it in your projects. It is for the sample quick start application only.

Telerik.Windows.Controls.dll - this is the DLL that contains the Silverlight controls and you need ONLY this dll to reference in your projects when developing with our controls.

Telerik.Windows.QuickStart.dll - this is the dll that contains the sample application with all the examples for the controls. You do NOT need to reference it in your projects.

Telerik.Windows.RadUploadHandler.dll - you will need to put this dll on your server when using the RadUpload control when creating the upload handler. You can see how the Upload handler is configured from the "SilverlightExamples" project.

-------------
Documentation - this folder contains the CHM file with the public API reference
-------------

-------------
SilverlightExamples
-------------
 - this is a WEB APPLICATION that is used when the samples silverlight application is being run. You do not need to change anything here. You can see here how the Upload hander is used.

-------------
Telerik.Windows.Examples
-------------
 - this is a SILVERLIGHT APPLICATION that holds all the examples for the controls. This is the place to start learning how to use the controls.

Can you please provide somewhat simpler and individual samples for your components, rather trying to shuffle through the whole main sample?
----------/qte-----------

Each control has its samples located in a directory named after the control name. For example to see the samples for RadMenu - open the solution that is located in main folder and then in the Telerik.Windows.Examples project open the Menu folder to see the examples for the menu component.

Hope this clear the things out!

Sincerely yours,
