Release History

RadBinaryImage

RadBinaryImage gives you an easy way of showing an image stored as binary data in a database. The control can be used in any data bound control (Repeater, DataList, GridView, etc.) to display images which originate from binary image field in the data source. RadBinaryImage uses an internal http handler which streams the image from the binary source to the page in which it has to be visualized.

• DataValue - property which specifies the source field from which the data will be passed as a byte array
• Height - specifies the height of the binary image
• Width - specifies the width of the binary image
• AlternateText - the text that will replace the image when it is not available/cannot be streamed
• ToolTip - the text that will be displayed in a browser tooltip when you hover the image
• AutoAdjustImageControlSize - scales the image based on explicitly set width/height dimensions to avoid stretch or blur effect when its original dimensions do not fit. The default value is true.
• HttpHandlerUrl - can be used to specify the location of a custom http handler which extends the default RadBinaryImage http handler. When not set, RadBinaryImage has its own handler which is invoked through the common Telerik.WebResource.axd handler.
• ImageUrl - applicable when no DataValue is specified to gracefully degrade to regular asp Image mode.
• ImageAlign - specifies the image alignment inside its container.

What’s New:

• ObjectDataSource can now be used when creating DataBinding scenario pages.
• LinqDataSource can now be used when creating DataBinding scenario pages.
• The Upgrade and Configure wizards now check for the Telerik.Web.Design assembly existence in GAC or in the Telerik.Web.UI assembly source location to help avoiding design time errors.

• All templates are now reworked to use the new DataSourceSelector instead of having only SqlDataSource.
• When creating a new project or reconfiguring an existing one the wizard now displays only assemblies with matching website Target Framework version (applicable for Visual Studio 2008). In Visual Studio 2005 only .NET 2.0 assemblies are displayed.

RadFormDecorator

What’s New:

• New, faster rendering: The new RadFormDecorator is more flexible, as it covers a number of scenarios that the old rendering was not possible to accommodate in a seamless cross-browser manner. Examples are: changing the text of a button on the client-side with javascript, attaching event handlers to a button, providing additional styling to fieldset elements, etc. The new rendering works much faster because it takes heavy advantage of the browser’s CSS engine. The old rendering relied stronger on JavaScript because of its IE6 support. Now the core implementation targets newer browsers, and the code is branched for IE6 where necessary. The new rendering also performs much better with partial page updates (AJAX).
• Support for styling SELECT (asp: DropDownList and asp:ListBox) elements.

RadFileExplorer

What's New

• Eliminated the initial AJAX request to bind the grid. Grid data is rendered on the page now
• Optimized rendering when paging is enabled (grid used to render 100 empty rows in HTML). Optimized initial load time - 1 Ajax request made instead of 2.
• Added localization for the grid pager when AllowPaging is set to true. The new localization string in RadEditor.Dialogs is Common_GridPagerText
• Remove unneeded context menu and toolbar items. If UploadPaths is empty, no Upload, New Folder, or Rename. If DeletePaths is empty - no delete.
• Updated file explorer serialization to work in web applications without ReflectionPermission (modified Medium trust level)
• Added a new server property - ExplorerMode. When set to FileTree, the grid will be hidden and the files will be displayed in the tree (treeview only mode for the FileExplorer)
• Renamed the "pathSeparator" property in the content provider model to "PathSeparator" (correct case for public properties)
• Added file and folder copying feature for the control. To enable, set the EnableCopy server property to true. Added two new methods to content provider model (CopyFile, CopyDirectory).
• Update server API to allow using custom columns with the explorer grid

RadGrid

What’s New:

• New GridBinaryImageColumn - each cell in a GridBinaryImageColumn contains an image streamed from a binary image source field (specified through the DataField property of the column). When used this column will show a RadBinaryImage control in view mode and RadUpload in edit mode to upload an image.
• New GridImageColumn - can be used to display images by specifying image urls with options for sorting and filtering by field in the grid source specified through the DataAlternateTextField property of the column.
• Keyboard support improvements - shortcuts for gaining focus, displaying the insertion form or refreshing the grid, improved navigation when editing/inserting records, options to toggle the active row cycle/multiple selection, built-in synchronization for active and selected grid row, etc.
• NestedViewTemplate relations - the nested view template supports server-on-demand load mode and declarative hierarchy relations

RadSplitter

What’s Fixed:

• All RadSplitter skins are updated so now it is easier to modify a built-in skin.
• • Moved most of the styles to the common CSS file and the skin-specific CSS files only set the correct background-images and background-colors.
  • The splitter no longer uses border-collapse:collapse - solves problems in all browsers with determining the position of elements in the splitter
  • RadSplitBars use one CSS class name that sets the correct styles to the elements of the RadSplitBar and the "over" and "error" classes simply modify some of those styles
  • Changed the elements for the RadSplitbar buttons from DIVs to INPUTs - those are more easily positioned in the middle of the RadSplitbar. As a result, there is a small change in the common CSS file of the RadSplitter. Apart from it all changes to the skins are backwards compatible.
• The RadSplitter now calculates the correct size of its panes on the server when possible, minimizing the cases when the RadSplitter renders with its default size and then calculates and sets the correct size to its elements on the client.

RadUpload
