  • We are very happy to announce the official CTP of “RadControls for Silverlight” suite. Telerik is the first control vendor to give you a real Silverlight 1.0 controls which you can play with and use in your web pages.

    Those of you who signed up through the CTP registration form have already received the bits. For those of you who missed the registration – it is still open.

    The controls in the suite target Silverlight version 1.0 Beta. The official version of Silverlight 1.0 is expected this summer.

    So what do you need in order to use the controls? Nothing special really -...

  • I just came across something amazing... and this is not fake, this is real - you can check the actual...
  • If you have a GridView, DataGrid, DetailsView, FormView, DataList or Repeater bound using DataSourceID you should never touch the controls collection in Page_Init or Page_PreInit. If you do this your declarative data-binding will be lost on any outside of the control post-back.

    How to check this?

    Example:

    aspx
    <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

        <title>Untitled Page</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <form id="form1" runat="server">
            <asp:Button ID="Button1" Text="Button1" runat="server" />
            <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" AllowPaging="true" DataSourceID="AccessDataSource1"

  • This one is serious and may bite you any time.

    Yesterday Shaun posted this problem in our forums: he and his users were experiencing odd errors when requesting ASP.NET AJAX-based sites, and yes, that means RadControls "Prometheus" based ones as well. Partial rendering requests initiated by UpdatePanel controls failed with the cryptic message:

    ==============
    Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerParserErrorExeption: The message received from the server could not be parsed.  Common causes for this error are when the response is modified by calls to Response.Write(), response filters, HttpModules, or server trace is enabled.  Details:  Error parsing near '<!DOCTYPE html P''.
    ==============

    Of course all that comes without any trace of Response.Write(),...
  • There have been a number of questions, regarding the RadEditor for MOSS and whether it is possible to use it in the SharePoint 2007 Wiki libraries and sites. The short answer to this question is - yes it's possible. Here is the long version: Wiki pages in MOSS 2007 are stored as normal document libraries. This means that when you edit a Wiki page, you are actually editing a list item. RadEditor for MOSS  supports this scenario and you can use it to replace the default editor in all major browsers - Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc.

    Here is how...
  • You can now register for the CTP release of our Silverlight controls and you'll soon receive an e-mail with instructions about where you can download the installation.

  • When we released the RadEditor Lite for MOSS a few months back, customers immediately contacted us and clearly stated that they need a rich-text editor that was not limited only to the features that are available in the Microsoft's default MOSS editor. People not only required a cross-browser editing experience but also demanded ALL the capabilities of RadEditor in MOSS.

    So, after a few months of preparations and development, I'm really excited to make a few announcements:

    1. RadEditor for MOSS is finally here! You can find more information here: http://www.telerik.com/products/sharepoint/overview.aspx. You can also find a comparison between the Lite and the...

  • One of the nice things about attending conferences like TechEd is all of the direct feedback you get from Telerik "fans" (people that use the RadControls everyday and love them). These fans love to use the RadControls and they also love to push the controls to their limits. That often leads to some interesting questions, such as this one I was presented with at the Telerik booth:

    "Is it possible to delay the RadCombobox autocomplete callback until a certain number of characters have been typed? Or is it possible to delay the callback so that it doesn't start until users stop...
