With the release of the .Net 3.5 SP1 Beta more and more people have started to ask us if the RadGrid for ASP.NET Ajax supports binding to ADO.Net DataServices. And what is the answer, you may have asked yourself? Yes it does!

To demonstrate this I have updated one of  Vlad's well-known client data binding examples. As you may notice there are only a few changes to the code, mostly the parts where the web service calls are concerned.

 

Download the example.

Enjoy!

In the eve of the official release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX suite (formerly known as Prometheus) I have decided to present you with a new feature of the RadGrid control. Besides of .Net 3.5 data binding optimizations, calculated columns and more other new enhancements, in the latest version of the control you can now find built-in support for items drag and drop. Through both the client and server -side events you can precisely handle dragging and dropping to same or other RadGrid instances as to other html elements.

You can try this and many other cool demos of  RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX at our updated demos section.

However, if placed inside the MasterPage’s ContentPlaceHolder, controls are not visible in the property builder in VS 2008 but work as expected in VS2005.  Here is what most of you are probably thinking “Strange, if you are only iterating over the controls collection why is there any difference? “ I was thinking the same. I sat with the trusty debugger ...
