Thanks, Sebastian, that is the obvious answer and is what I have been doing :) The stronger the search queries, the better the results. The weaker the search queries (which results from novice's not really knowing the tool or what to query), weaker the results. As such, my questions are asking which of the online resources are best to begin with and progressively work through -- since it's apparent from the example URL I listed that some "how to"s are not included in the PDF courseware, even though said courseware introduces/features the control or code. I'm just asking for a practical path and/or outline to use to avoid going down several "rabbit trails" to learn the tool and recommend the Telerik RadControls
.
Could you recommend the path you and the rest of the Telerik team used to learn the tool?

Thanks!

Hi R2,

Thank you for the clarification - now I see your point more clearly.

To start with, you can browse the online demos and the documentation of the controls as well as familiarize with the content of the self-paced tutorial for RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. Additionally, you can review the videos from our Telerik trainer which illustrate common scenarios/configurations put into practice.

Once you get acquainted with most of it, you can extend your knowledge by searching for more specific solutions in the knowledge base, code library or public forums.

Best regards,
Sebastian
the Telerik team

Thank you, Sebastian, for your response.

I did note in my post that I have tried to use the Telerik Trainer, however, I can not get beyond the "introduction" video that talks about the Trainer itself (how to use it, basically). It does not display a Table of Contents (TOC) listing the videos that I see referenced during the "intro". I've viewed the entire intro more than once, hoping it would tell me how to access the videos, but it does not. Therefore, I don't see how I can get to the actual training videos. What am I doing wrong that I can't get the Video TOC? I've downloaded the Trainer, it's located in my c:/documents and settings/username/my documents/telerik trainer and list several folders i.e.:

ActiveSkill Add Finish Page
ActiveSkill Adding User Functionality
ActiveSkill Admin
ActiveSkill Database Maintenance
ActiveSkill Getting Started
and so on...

Do the items in the above bullet list represent the videos or what are they?

Sincerely,
r2
