I've built a CMS for one of my company's projects and had to resort to using a frame with the javascript design mode execCommand functionality to allow users to modify the HTML for content pages. This was a temporary solution until a much better editor could be built or purchased. I'm doing some research and the Telerik suite seems to have everything I'm looking for (customizability of tools, unlimited deployment license, AJAX driven, easy to use). I downloaded the trial and am currently looking at it to see how easily the RadEditor will be able to slide in and take the place of the current HTML editor in our projects without having to rearchitect the existing systems.
I'm a minimalist developer. I don't use IDEs like visual studio to produce my .NET applications. I use textpad and I compile the dlls with a shell script. Needless to say, first glance at the installed directory of the trial is pretty overwhelming with many more files than even my entrire system. I'm looking for any resources that you could point me to that explains which dlls, javascript files and css files that I need if I wish to use only pieces of the suite or tutorials that don't assume I'm using visual studio.
Other than that, it seems like an impressive suite, and I hope that I can improve my applications with it.

Hello Jeremy,
We are looking forward to having you as a customer!
Assuming that you have MS AJAX extensions installed on your machine, then the only file you need to run one, two or all of the Telerik RadControls is the Telerik.Web.UI.dll which must be placed in your application's bin folder.
Just in case, general info on installing MS AJAX can be found here:

Thank you for the reply. I assume you are saying that MS AJAX extensions is to be installed on any machine that is acting as a webserver for the application, correct?
If it is true that all I need is the one dll, then that really will be easy to integrate. I just want to be clear though, I don't need the EditorDialogs ascx files, javascript or css files? What about the skins images?

Hello Jeremy,
#1 Correct
#2 All scripts, CSS, editor ASCXes, images and other resources are integrated into the Telerik.Web.UI.dll.
Of course, they are also provided separately - which allows for skin modifications, dialog customizations, etc. However, by default you will not need any other file but this DLL and all will work and render fine.
