Ribbon UI for RadControls for...ASP.NET
(Cross posted content for Telerik Watch)That's right. Office 2007 Ribbon UI for ASP.NET. In what is the absolute best implementation of the Ribbon UI I have seen on the web to date, Russel Masson has contributed an outstanding project to the Telerik Code Library. The project, which will likely become a Telerik Open Source Project soon, provides everything you need to implement the Office 2007 Ribbon UI in an ASP.NET application. The project includes a number of custom Ribbon controls built by Russel that work closely with the Telerik RadControls to work their magic. You must check out the online demo to understand the quality of this implementation.... -

RadInput 2.0 and Date Parsing: Where Compiler Theory Meets User Needs
Todd beat me to releasing details on our Q1_2007 release, but here it is again: we are finally releasing an update to the RadInput product: RadInput 2.0!!! The new version will include three brand new controls: RadTextBox: a nice, skinnable <asp:TextBox> replacement control that will help you build slick-looking applications; RadNumericTextBox: a textbox control, specifically created for numeric data entry: think quantities, currency, percentages; RadDateInput: a completely rewritten version of the v1.x RadDateInput control that takes a different approach to date entry. My favorite is RadDateInput as it posed... -

The Ajax Papers: Part III
Part III: Why, When, and What Download the easy to read PDF version (includes Trivia not in online version)In parts one and two in this series on Ajax we examined in detail how Ajax communication works and how JavaScript is used to update the page after an Ajax callback. We looked at some of the specific ways RadAjax and ASP.NET AJAX handle Ajax operations and, in short, removed (or at least greatly reduced) the mystery of how these frameworks do their magic. In this installment, we’ll move past the “how” and “where” of Ajax and start to look at the “why”, “when”, and “what” (I don’t think we have... -

Security: JSON Hijacking and the telerik web controls
I have been too slow to get to this! The security experts at Fortify Software have recently discovered a new Web 2.0-specific security vulnerability that may affect some sites passing JSON-encoded data to the client, and I got some nudges from both coworkers and customers to investigate this deeper. So, what is this vulnerability all about? In short, you have to be extra careful when using HTTP GET requests to stream JSON-encoded data to the client. You may be thinking that you are using ASP.NET's authentication mechanism and you are conveniently hidden behind the session and forms authentication cookie, but that may not be... -
