A Preview of the RadEditor Prometheus provider for DotNetNuke
Today we have released a preview of the new RadEditor Prometheus provider for DotNetNuke 4. The provider configuration remains basically the same, so people should have no problem enabling and configuring the new editor in DNN. The installation for the new provider is greatly simplified. We tried to eliminate most of the manual steps, which were required with the original RadEditor HTML editor provider. Basically, the provider now comes packaged as a module PA, so you can install and enable it directly from the web site. Detailed installation instructions (both for the automatic and manual installation) are available in the distribution... -

Web Resources demystified: Part 2
“Why is my page sprinkled with links to webresource.axd?” By default RadControls (both “Classic” and “Prometheus”) utilize Web Resources to embed external files. By external files I mean the following: JavaScript files – they contain the code implementing the client-side features of the controls CSS files –they define the visual appearance of the controls Images –various GIF, JPG or PNG files used by the CSS files RadControls "Classic" embed all JavaScript files and the default skin (thoughtfully named "Default"). If you use any other skin or create your own it will be served from the location specified via the SkinsPath property ("~/RadControls/<ControlName>/Skins" by default). Reducing the number... -

Dude, where are my controls?
Hi all, First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Rosen Konstantinov and I’m a developer at one of Telerik’s ASP.NET teams. A few days ago, while working on updating our Prometheus RadAjaxManager’s design-time property builder for Microsoft’s VS2008, I came across something strange. Some of you know that RadAjaxManager’s property builder lets you choose which of the control(s) on the design surface should be updated during an AJAX call. This is done by iterating over the controls collection and populating two TreeView controls. Properties Builder in VS2008 However, if placed inside the MasterPage’s ContentPlaceHolder, controls are not visible... -

New Telerik Reporting case studies
I am happy to note that there are two new Telerik Reporting case studies added to the website. The fellows from Kangarooware, LLS and Wil-Trans were very kind to send us their impressions on working with Telerik Reporting. Kangarooware www.surplusims.com Kangarooware was founded in June of 2006 by John A. Fuqua, former Chief Technology Officer of Go Figure, Inc. (World's Largest Membership Management Software Company) in quest for delivering enterprise quality software and technology services to small and medium business. They needed to design an application that gives management greater visibility of neglected valuable inventory resulting in cost savings “We chose Telerik Reporting based on its simplicity, ease...February 27, 2008 2 min read -

Web Resources demystified: Part 1
Every now and then I see people asking one of the following questions: “What is a web resource?” “Why is my page sprinkled with links to webresource.axd?” “Why are my JavaScript and CSS files not cached?!” “Why do all requests to webresource.axd fail with 404 or 500?” I will try to answer them in a series of blog posts. I will also give some details what web resources are, how they work and what are they good for. Web Resources 101 Web Resources are files which are embedded in an assembly. The WebResource.axd HTTP handler loads them and serves them to the browser. Web Resources were introduced in ASP.NET 2.0.... -
Desktop WinForms WPF
Have a safe trip from WinForms to WPF
We have received several requests so far by customers who one way or another ask for the same thing: "Can you make your WPF controls in such a way that later when I convert my WinForms application (which use your WinForms controls) to WPF I wouldn't need to deal with different APIs and inconsistencies?". In general, this could be achieved if we had: the same feature set in these two product lines the same API for our WinForms controls and WPF controls The first point is feasible and we'll do our best to do it. The second, however, is something we probably won’t do.... -
Web ASP.NET AJAX
Squeezing the last millisecond from the page load time
Hi, my name is Erjan Gavalji. I am a developer in the ASP.NET division at Telerik. I am new to blogging, but I hope the topics I present will be of a real use. RadControls for ASP.NET provide rich client-side functionality and nice look trough a number of external files - JavaScript code and CSS definitions. Those resources are registered through <script> or <link> tags and are downloaded by the browser. Part of the client-side code in RadControls “Prometheus” is shared between all controls. It is contained in a different file to prevent downloading it multiple times when several controls coexist in a...
