  • How do I pause execution in JavaScript?

    Friday, December 19, 2008 by ASP.NET AJAX Team | Comments 2
    The current article is taken from javascript.faqts

    There is no true wait, sleep, or similar function in either the core JavaScript language or in client side JavaScript. Client side JavaScript however provides     setTimeout('js code here', delayInMilliseconds) which allows you to schedule execution of piece of script and setInterval('js code here', intervalInMilliseconds) which allows you to periodically excute a piece of script.

    So if you wanted (pseudo code)

    statement1; 
    wait (someDelay); 
    statement2; 

    you would stuff the code into functions:

    function statement1 () { 
        // your code here 
    } 
    function statement2 () { 
        // your code here 
    } 
     
    and call
    statement1(); 
    setTimeout('statement2()', someDelay); 
     

     

    If you wanted (pseudo...

  • A new series of blog posts comming up

    Friday, December 19, 2008 by ASP.NET AJAX Team | Go comment!
    Hi all,

     

    Telerik’s support is always focused at satisfying customer needs – if you have used our controls for some time now, I guess you have already found that out. If you have just started getting familiar with our products – give us a try ;)

     

    Our support services however, being targeted on our products only, cannot provide you with custom solutions, although we try to help as much as possible. That is why we decided to start a new series of blog posts aimed at different aspects of ASP.NET development. The content is gathered from various newsgroups, blog posts, tutorials in...

  • Get Organized with the RadPanelBar

    Thursday, December 18, 2008 by XAML Team | Comments 4

    If you have ever used Microsoft Outlook or Windows Explorer, you have seen the use of panels to organize content.  See Outlook 2007 screenshot below:

    image

    This is a very useful method of organizing information that you want available to the user all the time.  Panels can house different functionality like managing options, navigating the application or displaying important details.  You can incorporate this same functionality in your applications using the RadPanelBar. 

    To get started, I thought it might be nice to create a Outlook like PanelBar with a calendar inside.  My goal is not to recreate what Outlook has done, but...

  • Getting Started with ADO.NET Data Services and Telerik Open Access – Step III

    Tuesday, December 16, 2008 by OpenAccess ORM Team | Go comment!

    After we prepared our data service it is time to put some client UI into it. I must apologize in advance as the only UI that I’ve used is a ListBox control, and it looks… well pretty much ugly. The goal was to proof that the whole setup works as expected, not to design a profound UI solution. I am pretty sure that as a follow up, our SilverLight team will enhance the sample to a full-scale integration example very soon.

    To start with, add a SilverLight application in your solution:

  • Getting Started with ADO.NET Data Services and Telerik Open Access – Step II

    Monday, December 15, 2008 by OpenAccess ORM Team | Comments 4

    In my previous post we looked into providing data to the client using ADO.NET Data Services and Telerik OpenAccess. However it is very rare just to present data, as usually some processing is done by the application on the client side, data gets modified and it is pushed back to the server for persistence. With ADO.NET Data Services this is done by implementing the IUpdateable interface by the data context class used on the server.

    NOTE: We do not implement IExpandProvider at the moment.

    They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, so same is true for the code – I...

  • Don't Use BODY ONLOAD in ASP.NET AJAX Websites

    Saturday, December 13, 2008 by ASP.NET AJAX Team | Comments 7

    In the past developers used <body onload="..."> to execute some script as soon as the page is loaded. Nowadays this is rather old-fashioned, no matter how you look at it. What's more, it doesn't work as expected in ASP.NET AJAX websites. Consider the following example:

     

    <body onload="MyFunction()"> 
     
    <script type="text/javascript"> 
     
       function MyFunction() 
       { 
          var myAjaxControl = $find("myAjaxControlClientID"); 
          myAjaxControl.doSomething(); 
       } 
     
    </script> 
     
    </body> 

     

    The client-side page load event is fired by the browser as soon as all HTML and scripts have been loaded. However, this happens before the controls' client-side instances have been created. As a result, myAjaxControl will be null and the doSomething() method will trigger a Javascript error. So, a lot better approach...
