Hi all, 

I've been using Telerik products for a while now, I'm always impressed with your GUI components, especially performance and visual appeal. Recently I've heard all the buzz around HTML5 and am dismayed to see that Silverlight's days may be numbered as a public platform. I'm sure it will continue to exist behind corporate firewalls but for general users on the web? Possibly not. 

Which brings me to the next question. As a seasoned .NET client developer (10 years) my javascript and web stack knowledge is pretty basic. The learning curve for HTML5 is high as I need to learn ASP.NET, webservices, Javascript plus the HTML5 API. I am considering writing an open source web application to assist with the learning process, using Kendo UI as a core set of libraries. The question I have is this: where and how can I start on the learning curve? Are there any good sources you can recommend to get me started making the move from Silverlight/WPF and .NET Client development to .NET Web development with HTML5/JS as a front end? 

Thank you for your time, 
Andrew

I notice that the windows don't have a border when you use the Metro Theme.  Is it possible to set it (I can't find an option in the Theme Builder)?

While on the topic of the Theme Builder...

Is it possible to set the text color for buttons in the hover state?

Hi, I am not sure if i am supposed to use the support ticketing system for this, but I have noticed a tiny bug in the grid example.
When using the sort function on the group, it's change is not reflected in the column and visa versa.
It might be better to use the group's sorting icon to expand/collaps the group.

Kind regards
Andrew

Do you have an example of showing a window that has dynamic data?

Example:
I have a list of 10 items. When you click on an item a window should appear that shows the detail for that item.

I hoping the solution is not to pre-create a window for each item.

Is it possible to show a window and then have it load the content url dynamically?

thanks.

Is leverage the "change" event the correct approach to wire up some templates and grid that use a common DataSource?

I have the following code, but it take about 5 seconds for the binding to occur even though the data is returned in under a second.

<script>

    $(document).ready(function () {
        var dsBoxScore = new kendo.data.DataSource(
            {
                type: "json",
                transport:
                {
                    read: "JsonBoxScoreGet"
                },

                change: function () {

                    var scriptTemplateBoxscoreHomeTeam = kendo.template($("#templateBoxScoreHomeTeam").html());
                    $("#scriptBoxScoreHomeTeam").html(scriptTemplateBoxscoreHomeTeam(this.data().HomeTeam));

                    var scriptTemplateBoxscoreAwayTeam = kendo.template($("#templateBoxScoreAwayTeam").html());
                    $("#scriptBoxScoreAwayTeam").html(scriptTemplateBoxscoreAwayTeam(this.data().AwayTeam));

                    $("#gridBoxScore").kendoGrid({
                        dataSource: this.data().HomeTeam.Players,
                        height: 350,
                        selectable: "row",
                        scrollable: true,
                        sortable: true,
                        pageable: false,
                        navigatable: true,
                        rowTemplate: kendo.template($("#rowTemplateBoxScorePlayerStats").html())

                    });

                },

                serverPaging: false,
                serverSorting: false

            });

        dsBoxScore.read();

    });
    </script>

Hi Team,
As we are checking possibility to use Kendo UI with backbone.js.

As first we are trying to integrate Kendo Ui grid with Backbone view.

Can you please let us know is this possible to integrate Kendo Ui Grid with Backbone.js.


Thanks in advance

We currently have an application that is based off spring framework. It is MVC architecture and has its own data tier, business tier and application UI. Can we bind this middle tier to Kendo controls? If "yes" is there an example of this?

I have a really simple template that causes a syntax error with kendo templates in Google Chrome. I'm using Kendo beta2 and jQuery 1.6.4. Here's the template:

This is broken:

This works:


Notice that's the exact same line, except with and without the = sign.  The error that it gives is this:

1. Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
   1. j.compilekendo.all.min.js:1
   2. jQuery.extend.proxy.proxyjquery-1.6.4.js:814
   3. (anonymous function)fiddle.jshell.net:40
   4. jQuery.event.handlejquery-1.6.4.js:3001
   5. jQuery.event.add.elemData.handle.eventHandle

If you want to see for yourself, here's the jsfiddle

Notice nothing is displayed, and there's an error in the javascript console.

It seems like variable assignment in a non-printing # block is breaking the parser. Any thoughts?

I just stumbled across this KendoUI and am very intrigued, but I will admit I have not yet downloaded it so bear with me on this total noob question:

In the type of applications I am constantly requested to create, I need to deal with putting in large drop down lists (5000+ items) within the rows of a grid.  

The challenge using HTML has been that you either have to send the whole page with the entire content of the drop downs in every row or try to incorporate some form of AJAX on the on-click event of the drop down (which causes a round-trip hit on the server).  

The problem is that list content doesn't change between rows, so the user is constantly dealing with either slow loading pages, or server hits as they tab through the rows.   Both of which are annoying.

So, my question is: does somehow KendoUI provide some capabilities for re-using drop down list content within grids to alleviate this issue?
