For those of you who are not subscribed to my Telerik Watch blog, I want to bring your attention to some important news. The Ajax Manager WebCast that I'll be doing with Microsoft this week is already full! Clearly everyone is eager to see the latest from Telerik and how we're embracing ASP.NET AJAX and I want to thank everyone for making this WebCast an early success. The good news for those of you who did not register in time is that the entire event will be available on demand sometime next week. For full details on accessing the on...
Today I had another trivial problem that was unbelievably
hard to debug just because I could not tell that an error caused by a web
resource was caused by exactly that resource. I was dealing with a
forgotten [WebResource] attribute that did not have a matching resource built
in the assembly and both generated a server side exception and gave browsers a 404 HTTP
error.
I wanted to decrypt the query string data that was being passed to
WebResource.axd and extract the resource and assembly name from it. MSDN told me that
what I needed was the "d" query string parameter, as it contained the
encrypted assembly and resource name. The...
The Ajax PapersPart II: Updating the PageDownload formatted PDF version for easy readingIn part one of this series on Ajax we looked at Ajax basics.
What it is. How it works. Where it executes. We learned that Ajax communication
(in its most basic form) only takes a few lines of JavaScript to work. If Ajax
is so easy, what’s all the fuss about Ajax being so hard? Even though Ajax in its purest sense just defines a method
for communicating asynchronously with the server, it is relatively useless
unless you do something with the information returned from the server. That
“something” usually means that you need to...

The Ajax Papers Part I: The Intro and the Basics Download formatted PDF version for easy readingAjax. We’ve all heard of it and most of us have already started to use it. Many of us (“us” being ASP.NET developers) probably decided to use Ajax because Telerik’s radAjax component made it very easy to add Ajax to our existing projects. We figured what the heck? Telerik makes it easy to add Ajax to my site and the boss will love to see the Ajax buzz word in my list of accomplishments. As radAjax developers, though, we often take for granted what’s actually happening under...

With the pending release of the Telerik Reporting product (should go live by the end of March) and forthcoming price tag on the Windows Forms UI controls, many customers asked what do we plan to do with those two product lines and what existing customers will get. Some good news for existing customers – all Subscription holders WILL get updates for Windows Forms and Reporting AT NO COST till their subscription expires. That is, our system will assume that you have an all-inclusive license (that is, a license which includes ASP.NET and Windows Forms UI Controls and Reporting). Like every great deal,...
Greetings! Or as we are often inclined to say in Texas, Howdy! My name is Todd Anglin and I am a Technical Evangelist at Telerik. Before I begin blogging away on the Telerik.com blogs, I want to take a moment to introduce myself to everyone in the Telerik developer community that I have yet to meet. Many of you may know me from the Telerik Community Forums (where I am still quite active) or from my other blog, TelerikWatch.com. To all of my loyal Telerik Watch readers, thank you very much for your support! The Telerik Watch blog has been...
Since we released the first version of our Windows Forms UI controls we've received quite a lot of questions about our plans for WPF. Basically the questions revolve around the following: - Is Telerik going to offer products for WPF? - When will they be public? - What controls will be included? Most of you probably know the answer to the first question and is an unequivocal “Yes”! Even though there are some misconceptions that WPF is good only for displaying cool things on the sides of a rotating cube, we believe that even in its current form it offers a lot to build upon....
