Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC Q2 2010 is official

Wednesday, August 25, 2010 by ASP.NET MVC Team | Comments 7

It’s a fact! The highly anticipated Q2 2010 release has just been pushed. As usual the online demos are at http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc. You can check your Telerik accounts for the download links.

What’s new

I’ve highlighted the new features and components in a previous blog post. Here are the things which have changed since then:

Lots of new features for the editor:

font name and size
background and foreground color
block formatting (paragraph, headings etc)
smart indent and outdent
predefined styles
HTML snippets
support for custom tools
localization support

Razor support – we may have to update it once the guys from Microsoft advance with the development…
Fixes and performances optimizations. We have fixed all bugs reported for the beta.

There is one breaking change from the beta. This:

<%= Html.Telerik().Grid(Model)
        .Name("Grid")
        .Columns((IEnumerable<GridColumnSettings>)ViewData["Columns"])
%

should now be:

<%= Html.Telerik().Grid(Model)
        .Name("Grid")
        .Columns(columns => columns.LoadSettings((IEnumerable<GridColumnSettings>)ViewData["Columns"])) // <-- New method
%>

As always we will appreciate your feedback!

Good to know this. I just downloaded this official release and installed it.
Previously, I was using Q2 2010 beta and I used Window component. In beta, when I made the window a Modal, the window was perfectly in the center of the screen and I loved it, but after upgrading, it moved at the left top corner. How I am supposed to get it back to the center again.

Thanks and best Regards.

I'm having a hard time with what appears to be a missing script...

2010.2.825/Scripts/telerik.dropdownlist.min.js does not appear to be in the deployment kit? Since we're using that control, we're getting related errors.

telerik.dropdownlist.min.js no longer exists. The dropdownlist is implemented in telerik.list.min.js

I'd tried it, and was still getting errors. I've since resolved that by adding telerik.list.js in the ScriptRegistrar before telerik.editor.js. Thank you!

@Asif: You can call the center() method of the window client-side object, like $('#Window').data('tWindow').center(). This had to be changed in order to allow you to place the modal window at arbitrary positions, instead of forcing it to be always centered.
