I am maintaining/extending an asp.net ajax app that basically uses the scriptmanager, updatepanel, and updateprogress components.
I am planning on gradually rolling in some Telerik rad ajax controls soon.
Should I go through the project and first replace the scriptmanager, updatepanel, and updateprogress components with the rad ajax equivalents, e.g.,
RadScriptManager, Rad???, and RadAjaxLoadingPanel (Rad??? = I don't know what the equivalent control would be - can't tell by the "rad..." name).
Is this a valid assumption on my part?
I have not had any luck in my search for documentation on this subject. If there is some, please provide a link or specific search keyword string. Most of the code snippets I have looked at are just that, snippets, and with these controls being totally new to me, there does not seem to be a simple "start here...".
My cursory attempts have not been successful, for example, I added a RadAjaxLoadingPanel control to a page, added a thread.sleep(3000) to the page_load(), and I do not see any "loading..." message on the web page.
Thanks for your direction to a complete newbie on Telerik controls.

Hi Larry,
The Rad-control, replacing the UpdatePanel is RadAjaxPanel - it works in a similar manner - just wrap some controls with it and you get them ajaxified. The RadAjaxLoadingPanel is used to just identify that an Ajax call is in progress.
I believe you will find our Online Examples (added to your computer when using the installation package) useful.
Let me know if we can help further.
Kind regards,
