Telerik Rad Controls and Dynamic Data

[Stephen Naughton]

Hi Guys, I am noticing in most of the samples you are posting regarding the use of your Rad Control with MS Dynamic Data
This namespace Telerik.Web.UI.DynamicData you register a dynamic version of the your Grid

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dynamic" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI.DynamicData" %>

and then use the grid like this

<dynamic:DynamicRadGrid ID="GridView1" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True"
    AutoGenerateColumns="false" runat="server" DataSourceID="GridDataSource"
    SelectedItemStyle-BackColor="LightBlue" Skin="Telerik">
<!-- removed for brevety -->
</dynamic:DynamicRadGrid>

I don't seem to be able to fine this name space or the controls in my install of Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX once I master your controls with DD I plan to post a series of articles on my blog C# Bits on using Telerik Rad Controls with Dynamic Data.

Thanks in advance Steve.

Hello Stephen,

This is a separate namespace that includes a class which inherits the RadGrid class for DynamicData implementation. You can find it as parf the attachment in this blog post since it is not included in the default RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX installation.

Great to hear that you would like to start series of blog posts about how to use our AJAX controls within DynamicData sites - looking forward to them! If you are interested in gaining some Telerik points for your blog posts or participating in our MVP program, please let us know.

Greetings,

Thanks Sebastian, how do I find out when this has been updated as future releases of the product come out?

Also is there any option for source code of the update, if it is just inheriting from RadGrid?

And regarding your MVP program I'd be glad to participate, I am an MS MVP already and it's through this I got access to the Telerik controls :)

An through my MVP with MS I've had the opertunity to look at several different control sets and found your Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX are the only ones that have any info on getting them working with DD (Most of my project are DD based) and so I've chosen Telerik as the 3rd part control set I'm going to blog about for DD. I will start with a getting started I think in the next few weeks.

Hi Sebastian, that sample appears to target .Net 4 is there a sample for .Net 3.5, as I appear to be having an issue with

IDataBoundControl the error says "System.Web.DynamicData.IDataBoundControl' is inaccessible due to its protection level." I suspect this is due to the .Net 4 tageting.

Hello Stephen,

You can subscribe to my colleague Nikolay's blog post feed to check for future updates. You may also be interested in the previously posted articles on this subject which can be found entering this search criterion. The code of the relevant class (DynamicRadGrid) which extends the RadGrid class is located in the App_Code folder of the samples.

I am happy to hear that you show interest in taking part in the Telerik MVP program! Furthermore, as you are entitled to be MS MVP, your contribution to the Telerik community will be even more appreciated.

Thanks again Sebastian, and I found the code, I assumed it would be in a dll :( but it does appear to target .Net 4 is there a link to the latest .Net 3.5 version?

P.S. is there somewhere I can send my articles to once I get my posts on Telerik Rad Controls with Dynamic Data up an running? I usually post them to the ASP.Net community on http://asp.net

Hi Stephen,

You can find the previous .NET 35 versions of the Telerik DynamicData site in the series of blog posts that my colleague Atanas submitted (see the search link in my previous message).

I notified the Telerik MVP program manager Sasha Krsmanovic about your future blog posts in order to get in touch with you and provide further details about the program.
