We are happy to share with you the good news that RadControls (ASP.NET AJAX, WinForms, Silverlight, and WPF) have been nominated as finalist in the "Libraries, Frameworks and Components" category in the 19th Annual Software Development Jolt Product Excellence Awards.

Known as the “Oscars” of our industry, the Jolt Product Excellence and Productivity Awards are presented annually to showcase products that have "jolted" the industry with their significance and made the task of creating software faster, easier, and more efficient.

RadControls were selected as a finalist among nearly 300 qualified nominations that were submitted online. In the next round...

With JavaScript, it is possible to execute some code NOT immediately after a function is called, but after a specified time interval. This is called timing events.

It's very easy to time events in JavaScript. The two key methods that are used are:

• setTimeout() - executes a code some time in the future
• clearTimeout() - cancels the setTimeout()

setTimeout()
Syntax

The setTimeout() method returns a value - In the statement above, the value is stored in a variable called t. If you want to cancel this setTimeout(), you can refer to it using the variable name.

The first parameter of setTimeout() is a...

Most developers have encountered a need at some point to modify how data is displayed to the user.  The RadGridView offers a very straightforward way to format data without having to modify the source data.  For example, you may not want the time displayed with a DateTime field, or you want to change the structure of the data to meet an internal standard.  The screenshot below shows three different fields which display the default DateTime format.

  

This may be valid data, but it may not be useful to the user and we could potentially save screen real estate by eliminating...

In the Q3 2008 release, Telerik introduced a new control to the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX suite called RadInputManager. Like RadInput, it is designed to enable you to provided textboxes to your users that give real-time validation and feedback based on the entered text. The big difference with RadInputManager, though, is that you don't have to add lots of Telerik Input controls on your page to get this real-time feedback. Instead, you can quickly convert "standard" ASP.NET TextBoxes to RadInput textboxes via the RadInputManager configuration- similar to how you can use RadAjaxManager to quickly ajaxify your page without littering it with...

Welcome back to the ongoing Optimization Tips series. It's been a while since the last installment, so it's high-time we took a look at more tips and tricks for optimizing your Telerik-powered web applications. In this the seventh article in this series, we'll take a look at Telerik's brand new RadCompression HttpModule and try to gain a deep understanding of how this tool can help improve application performance. Some of the concepts in this article build on things we've discussed in previous installments, so I encourage you to read the earlier articles before reading this if you have not already done so....

     There usually comes a time for most developers when they need to use the data being displayed in an application, outside of that application.  There are obviously a number of ways you can present data, but it is common to leverage Microsoft Excel.  It provides a similar look and feel to the grid which means minimal reformatting, plus Excel is widely used and therefore most offices should have a version of the software available. 

     How to get your data into Excel?  The RadGridView offers a couple of options to accomplish this task.  First, you can use the Primary...

I’m happy to announce that with Q1 2009 release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX (Telerik.Web.UI) you will be able to compress the response from ADO.NET DataServices (formerly "Project Astoria") in Silverlight web applications with simple web.config registration:

web.config
…
<httpModules>
  <addname="RadCompression" type="Telerik.Web.UI.RadCompression" />
</httpModules>
…

Here is the result for Northwind Customers with ATOM and JSON response type:

ATOM : Bytes Received: 11,623 (uncompressed 92,848)
JSON  : Bytes Received:   9,237 (uncompressed 39,460)

I’ve made small Silverlight application to illustrate the new...

Most of the time combining two RadControls together is wonderfully easy. We at Telerik know this; we work hard to have them work together in a way that is both simple and intuitive for developers. But every so often someone asks about hooking up two controls in such a manner that I have to sit back and scratch my head for a few minutes. Thankfully though, the RadControls are flexible enough that I usually can find an answer. Tonight that happened when a customer asked how to add a RadToolTip to a custom toolbar item in the RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX....

I recently posted an in-depth look at the RadRotator for ASP.NET AJAX. I feel it appropriate to follow-up that post with a discussion about another oft-overlooked control in Telerik’s ASP.NET AJAX suite, the RadTicker. The RadTicker is closely related to the RadRotator for ASP.NET AJAX, but boasts its own unique functionality. Whereas the RadRotator is best suited for richer content, such as images and HTML markup, the RadTicker is designed specifically to display text. The RadTicker uses client script to display a single character of text in a given interval, simulating a “typewriter” effect. While it has many of the same...
