The ImageEditor dialog in RadEditor has been around for about half a year, providing much wanted common image editing capabilities to the editor's end users.

 

 

 This dialog in fact is the front-end of a basic image editing engine that has been built into the Telerik.Web.UI.dll. Some time ago our colleague Todd Anglin suggested that we make the API public so it can be used independent of the editor. Sounded like a good idea - and the coming Q3 2008 will allow you to take advantage of it :)

 And since the functionality is already available in the already ...

One of the things one needs to take care of when converting an existing application to use MS AJAX is inline script blocks inside pages or user controls. Problem with these is that if the control is sent to the client as a result of a partial page update (e.g. AJAX call) the inline script block simply won’t execute at all.< p=''>< p=''>

The problem is caused by the way MS AJAX and browsers work.< p=''>< p=''>

When an UpdatePanel is to replace its old content with newly received AJAX content, it deletes the old content and then uses innerHTML to inject the new content. However, script blocks contained in the AJAX response ...

Summary

The technique demonstrates how to transform a non-AJAX scenario which adds a CSS <link> tag to the head of the page to work with AJAX, using a client-side javascript function to register the  <link>.

Using AJAX in an application is probably the standard now. Partial page rendering offers a number of benefits such as increased page responsiveness, as well as close-to-desktop experience using AJAX-based toolkits such as RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX.

However, adding UpdatePanels to the page and expecting that all of your “postback” logic will continue to function without changes is only true for simple scenarios. There are many more advanced cases where programming logic needs to ...

If I had to summarize what the RadFormDecorator control is about in a single sentence, it would be:
The RadFormDecorator aims to unload yet another task from the "regular Joe" developer by reducing the need for styling elements on the page.

Enter RadControls

Telerik RadControls provide a great deal of rich UI controls allowing a developer to build web-based applications that resemble the richness of a desktop application. The majority of controls provided in the suite do not have direct analogs provided by the browser - e.g. RadEditor, RadGrid, etc. There are also a number of controls that can be used to ...

The following blog post was written together with Rumen Jekov, who is the most experienced support officer at Telerik and has been supporting RadEditor for a number of years now. If you are a RadEditor user, and you contact us, chances are you will be receiving an answer from him.

The blog post discusses the accessibility features of RadEditor. While accessibility options were not considered important couple of years ago, things have changed - and will be changing even more in the future. For enterprize customers and governmental institutions accessibility is becoming a top priority, and we have gone at great lengths ...

I wrote this blog post together with our support officer Svetlina, who is in charge of answering tickets submitted for RadToolTip, RadSplitter and RadWindow. She has prepared a short list of tips and tricks based on some recurring questions that we have noticed over time. The original tips&tricks list had 12 entries, but some of the solutions were eventually built into the RadToolTip code, so it was reduced to 7 :)

We hope this post will be useful to all who try to combine the tooltip with other RadControls and use it in more advanced scenarios that are not always covered ...

I visited DevConnections in Orlando about a month ago. There my colleague Todd Anglin and I held a vendor session called "Developing Rich, Responsive Applications using Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX". My team had prepared a demo for the vendor session - and we have 3 major goals when we started implementing it:

• We wanted to keep the code to a minimum (which I think we managed quite nicely). Most of the about 200 lines of server code are related to database queries, and the client-side only uses about 40 lines of code.
• We wanted it to be real-lfe and ...

It has been some time this was in the making... and as of the beginning of this week RadEditor is the editor one uses to submit community content in MSDN. Here is a hasty screenshot I made for you:



To my best knowledge, this is the fifth Microsoft team that adopts the RadEditor, yet I believe it is the first team to use it on a public Microsoft site (besides, such an important one). The other teams using the editor are doing internal MS content, and since I have not explicitly asked for permission to list their names here, I ...
