15 Dec to 22 Dec 2025: highlights of the new online resources that we published last week.
Article: https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-core-ui/documentation/knowledge-base/grid-ai-integration
Summary: Learn how to add AI integration to the Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Grid by invoking OpenAI or Azure OpenAI to analyze grid data and display the response in a dialog. You will add a custom toolbar command, collect selected rows and column metadata on the client, call an ASP.NET Core controller that wraps the OpenAI REST API, and render the result in the UI. The article covers configuring OpenAI/Azure OpenAI, prompt construction, server-side API key handling, and basic error handling.
Article: https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-core-ui/documentation/knowledge-base/chart-ai-integration
Summary: Implement AI-assisted analysis for the Telerik/Kendo UI for ASP.NET Core Chart by extracting series data, sending it to an AI provider (e.g., OpenAI or Azure OpenAI) from a secure server-side controller, and rendering the generated summary in a UI element (such as a Dialog). The article provides Razor and controller examples using HttpClient and environment-stored API keys, plus guidance on prompt design, minimizing shared data, and keeping keys off the client.
Article: https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-core-ui/documentation/knowledge-base/editor-ai-integration
Summary: Learn how to integrate OpenAI or Azure OpenAI with the Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Editor by adding a custom toolbar menu that posts the current content and selected action to a server-side ASP.NET Core endpoint, then inserts or replaces the text with the AI response. The article provides Editor configuration, JavaScript, and controller code that calls the Chat Completions API with prompt templates for rewrite, summarize, translate, and grammar fixes, keeping the API key on the server.
Article: https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-core-ui/documentation/knowledge-base/scheduler-ai-integration
Summary: Learn how to integrate the Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Scheduler with an LLM-backed AI workflow to create, edit, translate, or summarize events from natural language. You’ll add the Kendo AI Prompt to the Scheduler UI, handle its execute event on the client, and implement a C# endpoint that calls an LLM (e.g., OpenAI or Azure OpenAI) and maps the JSON response to Scheduler events. The article includes end-to-end wiring, request/response shaping, and safe parsing to update the Scheduler data source.
Article: https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-core-ui/documentation/html-helpers/data-management/grid/smart-grid/smart-extensions
Summary: This article explains how to use Smart Extensions for the Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Grid (Smart Grid) to apply preset configuration through extension methods on the Grid HtmlHelper. It covers setup (package and namespace), the available extensions and what they enable (such as filtering, sorting, paging, toolbars, commands, and column configuration), and how to customize or override defaults when composing Smart extensions with your own Grid settings.
Blog: https://www.telerik.com/blogs/managing-content-security-telerik-aspnet-core-applications
Summary: This article shows you how to add and enforce a Content Security Policy (CSP) in ASP.NET Core applications that use Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core, including setting security headers via middleware. It details the CSP directives and allowances required by the components—script-src, style-src, img-src, font-src, connect-src, worker-src, and support for blob: and data: URLs for features like file export—and how to use nonces/hashes and CSP‑compatible Telerik/Kendo assets to avoid 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval'. You also get copy‑paste policy examples and troubleshooting guidance for scenarios such as CDN-hosted resources, PDF/Excel export, and WebSocket/SignalR connections.

Blog: https://www.telerik.com/blogs/securing-apps-telerik-ui-aspnet-core-otp-control
Summary: You’ll implement one-time passcode (OTP/TOTP) verification in an ASP.NET Core app using the Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core OTP control, from configuring the control in Razor views to wiring server-side validation with ASP.NET Core Identity or a TOTP library. The article covers UX and security details—auto-advancing digit inputs, paste and accessibility, handling expiration and retries, and enforcing server-only validation, rate limiting, and secure secret storage—to build a reliable multi-factor authentication flow.

Article: https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-core-ui/documentation/knowledge-base/chat-ai-integration
Summary: Integrate the Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Chat with OpenAI or Azure OpenAI by handling the Chat send event, forwarding user messages to a server-side controller that calls the Chat Completions API, and returning the assistant’s reply as a Chat message. The article walks you through the Razor setup, controller/action implementation, secure API key handling, request/response models, role mapping (user/assistant), and basic error handling.
Blog: https://www.telerik.com/blogs/real-time-data-updates-telerik-ui-net-maui-grid
Summary: Learn how to implement real-time data updates in the Telerik UI for .NET MAUI Grid by binding to an ObservableCollection and models that implement INotifyPropertyChanged, so item additions/removals and per-cell changes propagate instantly. The article shows a timer-driven update loop and how to marshal background changes onto the UI thread, with practical guidance to keep frequent updates responsive.

Article: https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-core-ui/documentation/html-helpers/diagrams-and-maps/diagram/binding
Summary: You will bind the Telerik ASP.NET Core Diagram HTML Helper to your data so shapes and connections are generated from your schema. Configure DataSource and ConnectionsDataSource with model field mappings (Id, Text, X/Y for shape position; From/To for connections) and transport actions for server-side CRUD. The examples show remote binding, positioning, and handling data-bound events.
Article: https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-core-ui/documentation/html-helpers/diagrams-and-maps/diagram/razor-pages
