When I originally decided to move to the Prometheus build of the RadControls for ASP.NET, one of the benefits I was eager to see in action was the embedded resource feature.
Source control and build management with the previous versions was cumbersome due to several hundred small files attached to the project, i.e. editor skins & icons, images, scripts etc.
My first attempt to use the Prometheus package was quite simple - I created a calendar picker, label, and RadAjaxLoadingPanel. However, the loading panel displays a missing image, unless I copy Loading.gif into my project and reference the image url directly. Is this control's default images not embedded? If so, how do I access them? I would prefer not to fill up my images folder with telerik images, if at all possible.

Hi Jordan,
Thank you for contacting us and for your question.
Indeed, currently you have to specify the path to the image in order to show the loading image in Prometheus RadAjax as you can see from the online demos:
http://www.telerik.com/demos/aspnet/prometheus/Ajax/Examples/Manager/FirstLook/DefaultCS.aspx
However, I'm glad to announce that since Q3 2007 (scheduled for December 17), Prometheus RadAjaxLoadingPanel will have method for getting the loading image from the web resources. The source will look like this:

Using the Q3 release of Promethius LoadingPanel, I am getting a missing image with the following code:
<telerik:RadAjaxLoadingPanel
ID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" Runat="server" height="75px" width="75px">
<img alt="Loading..."
src='<%= RadAjaxLoadingPanel.GetWebResourceUrl(Page, "Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.Default.Ajax.loading.gif") %>' style="border:0px;" />
</telerik:RadAjaxLoadingPanel>
Has anyone else got this working without copying images into their image folder?

Hello Donald,
Using this code you should be able to fetch the image for the RadAjaxLoadingPanel from the embedded web resources. Here is an online demo which illustrates the approach in reality:

I am experiencing a similary issue. I am using Prometheus Q3 2007 version. I have a master page which contains the asp:ScriptManager control and the RadAjaxManager.
On the content page, I have a RadAjaxManagerProxy and the AjaxLoadingPanel. When I placed the loading panel on my form, the image is not resolving. The img tag does have the GetWebResourceUrl ....
Is this an issue because the loading panel is placed on the content page?

Hello Pratik,
The loading panel does not have to be on the same page where the AjaxManager resides. As long as you are able to reference it through AjaxManagerProxy or even using FindControl() in codebehind, you should be fine. As I could not reproduce the problem you describe in my local tests, I have attached a sample project that works as expected. Please review it and let us know what differs in your case.
Kind regards,

Hello Steve,
I think I know what is the issue here.
The loading panel when placed doesn't display the image in the VS designer. When the page is actually run, it is resolving the path and the image displays fine.
Thanks for your help.
