    New features in RadComboBox, RadTreeView, RadUpload and RadScheduler

    Hi all, In this blog post I will show you some of the new features of RadComboBox, RadTreeView, RadUpload and RadScheduler which will appear in our Q2 2008 release. First I will introduce you with a cool new RadComboBox feature. Did you become a Telerik fan on Facebook yet? If not you can do so by going to http://telerikwatch.com/2008/06/become-official-telerik-fan.html. The reason I am talking about Facebook is that the new filtering functionality of RadCombobox works quite similarly.   To enable this new feature you will need to set the Filter property to either one of the 3 different modes –None, Contains and StartsWith.

    RadGrid Client Data Binding And ADO.Net DataServices example

    With the release of the .Net 3.5 SP1 Beta more and more people have started to ask us if the RadGrid for ASP.NET Ajax supports binding to ADO.Net DataServices. And what is the answer, you may have asked yourself? Yes it does! To demonstrate this I have updated one of  Vlad's well-known client data binding examples.

    Uploading Multiple Files with RadUpload

    Hello Everyone, my name is Rosi and I am a developer on the ASP.NET navigation controls team. This is my first blog post and I will be talking about the RadUpload component.  Many customers have asked how to upload multiple files with it. Unfortunately RadUpload does not yet support this functionality out of the box, but I will show you how to work-around this limitation. The trick is uploading one  .zip file and extracting it on the server.  To achieve this we will need a little help from a third party library.  Such libraries are  DotNetZip and SharpZipLib which provide a convenient API to manipulate .zip files.  For the purposes of this blog post...

    How To Override Styles in a RadControl for ASP.NET AJAX' Embedded Skin

    In the era of the "classic" RadControls for ASP.NET modifying a skin required opening ~ / RadControls / [ControlName] / Skins / [SkinName] / styles.css and making the necessary changes. The new RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX (formerly known as "Prometheus") by default use skins, which are embedded in the assembly. This simplifies deployment but sacrifices customization. Or does it? Actually, making a change to an embedded skin of a RadControl for ASP.NET AJAX is quite easy, given that one keeps in mind a couple of notable things. Namely: (1) Since the embedded skin cannot be modified, the custom styles need to be placed elsewhere. For example ...

    Introducing: the telePhone

    After digging around in Telerik's old Visual Source-Safe server, I found a long-forgotten prototype of a RadMenu skin. I felt the urge to disclose it to you, and hope that you will like it. the telePhone prototype On second thought, this initial draft looks good enough, so we might switch to hardware production. Don't be evil, we were first! Maybe we could even go 3G... Ok now, getting serious - you could use this sort of menu for navigating when there is a large hierarchy in the site navigation (or, to be more specific, a hierarchy that has a wide tree). Currently, no...
