Below is a snippet of aspx code that should create a RadSlider with a width of 600px. However the rendered slider seems to be rendered with a default width of about 200px.
<
telerik:RadSlider runat="server" ID="VideoSlider" Width="600" Orientation="Horizontal" Skin="WebBlue" TrackMouseWheel="true" Value="0"/>
Is there any reason this would not be working? I can change this width via CSS but would prefer if this could be rectified?
Thanks,
Sunil

As you have not specified the version of the suite that you use, I tested your code with the latest version - 2008.3.1314 (Q3 2008 SP2), but I was not able to reproduce the problem. Could you please make sure that you are using the latest version and in case the problem persists, prepare and send us a simple running project, with which we can reproduce the problem locally?

I can confirm that the latest version of Telerik Rad Controls fixes this problem for me. Thanks for your feedback.
You may like to know that the version that has this problem is: 2008.1.624.20.

Yes, in the version that you used, the RadSlider did not support the Width property. You had to use the Length property, which set the Width, when Orientation=Horizontal, and the Height, when Orientation=Vertical.

Assuming that you are using the latest version of the controls, which is Q1.2011, I couldn't reproduce the issue you are reporting. Is it possible that external CSS resources are causing the slider to disrespect the value of the Width property? Please, provide the code snippet that you have been using to cause this problem to occur.

The Length property is marked as Obsolete and its use is not recommended. As per Tsvetie's advice, the use of Width is the recommended way of changing the width of the RadSlider control.

We have seen this problem before sometimes as well, that unknown properties was added to the markup, like "Owner" for, if I remember correctly, the RadTabStrip och RadMultiPage.
I must say this has us somewhat worried about the quality of the generated markup, and what problems we might get because of it.
After extended testing I wasn't able to make the Length property appear in the declaration of the RadSlider. Could you, please, provide the exact steps to reproduce this issue?
As far as the DbValue property is concerned, it is a new property for the control and its use case is mainly with data-bound scenarios, where this property guarantees a database-friendly way of setting the Value, i.e. having null as a value does not raise an exception. Being a substitute for the Value property in specific cases makes this property unnecessary within the Properties pane. More on the subject, please, refer to http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/slider/examples/dbvalue/defaultcs.aspx.
Hope this helps.

We will have this strange behavior in mind and, if we come across it once again, we will let you know what may be causing it. However until then, without concise reproduction steps, we can only assume what may be happening. Therefore, any additional information on this is very much welcome.
We really appreciate your feedback and persistance in this matter.

Dragged a slider control onto the designer and had both the Length ="200" and DbValue="0" added automatically to the markup.
I tried to reproduce the problem you described, but without success. You can try removing the RadControls from the Visual Studio toolbox and adding them again as described here using the latest version of the Telerik.Web.UI assembly.
If the problem persists, please open a regular support ticket and send a simple, runnable project that isolates the issue so that I can inspect it locally and provide a more to the point answer.
