    Client-side data-binding with RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX, WebServices and LINQ

    As a TRUE ASP.NET AJAX Control you have almost unlimited possibilities with RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX client-side API. I've spent ~ 30 minutes to create small and powerful demo with client-side data-binding to 1 mil. records using WebService and LINQ. No traditional post back/ajax requests to the same page, no ViewState - just pure JSON. To see the traffic between client and server you can use FireBug, HttpWatch, Fiddler or any other similar tool. Here is a small screenshot from FireBug: Enjoy! [Source code]

    Title Attributes in CSS Link Tags Prevent Styles from Being Applied

    I have been aware for some time now that title attributes in CSS <link> tags trigger problems and prevent some CSS styles from being applied on the web page. Today I invested a couple of hours in finding out what actually happens and this is what we've got. If you have several <link> tags in the page <head> and one of them has a title attribute, then the <link> tags coming after it must either have a title attribute with the same value or no title attribute at all, otherwise the styles in the latter CSS files the will not be applied on the...

    RadEditor... on msdn2.microsoft.com

    It has been some time this was in the making... and as of the beginning of this week RadEditor is the editor one uses to submit community content in MSDN. Here is a hasty screenshot I made for you: To my best knowledge, this is the fifth Microsoft team that adopts the RadEditor, yet I believe it is the first team to use it on a public Microsoft site (besides, such an important one). The other teams using the editor are doing internal MS content, and since I have not explicitly asked for permission to list their names here, I will...

    The dark side of static members
