    How to Change the Silverlight Installation Message

    NOTE: From the very beginning I would like to state that this custom solution is temporary and will most probably change with the next release of Silverlight Plug-In. There is no straightforward approach to changing the Silverlight Download logo. However, a workaround exists. 1) Download the modified TelerikSilverlight.js and add it to your project 2) Within the Default.aspx of your project, reference TelerikSilverlight.js <script type="text/javascript" src="TelerikSilverlight.js"></script> 3) Create a javascript function right bellow the previous line of code <script type="text/javascript">    function GetInstallHtml ()    {        var imgUrl = "http://www.telerik.com/images/editor/OverviewImages/SilverlightLogo.gif";        var myInstallHtml = 'This is my custom text<br/>' +                                         '<div style="width: 205px; height: 67px; background-color: #FFFFFF">' +                                             '<img onclick="javascript:Silverlight.followFWLink({0});"' +                                             'style="border:0;...

    RadControls for Silverlight 1.0 Final Release

    Just hours after Microsoft announced the availability of the final version of Silverlight 1.0 (http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/09/04/silverlight-1-0-released-and-silverlight-for-linux-announced.aspx), Telerik made RadControls for Microsoft Silverlight officially available. Being the first vendor to offer third-party UI controls for Silverlight, Telerik is dedicated to closely follow the release schedule of Microsoft and roll-out its tools immediately after the respective updates/releases of the Silverlight framework. Telerik RadControls for Microsoft Silverlight are a new generation of UI controls for building Rich Interactive Applications based on Microsoft Silverlight 1.0. The product introduces the notion of control-based development, which is originally missing in the framework, and requires no JavaScript and XAML...

    RadControls for Windows Forms Q2 2007 BETA Available

    Many days passed since my last post (which is rather interesting and concerns the MS Surface technologies) but now I have the opportunity to justify why: Beta release of RadControls for WinForms Q2 2007 was on the way! We introduced only one new component – the RadCalendar for WinForms, but please do not underestimate the release: all our components contain very serious improvements like RTL language support, hierarchy support, documentation, etc. Let me draw some aces on the table: Major redesign of our QuickStart Framework: Yes, it is more beautiful and has greater usability than ever! It has been completely redesigned to offer...

    Have Real Fun with RadCalendar for WinForms

    Hi everyone, Let me take the opportunity to introduce myself to the Telerik community - my name is Boyko Markov and I’m a lead developer for the RadCalendar WinForms component that will be officially introduced in our Q2 release. I will do my best to post interesting ideas and helpful information on RadCalendar and few other controls, including the upcoming RadDateTimePicker control. Telerik RadCalendar for Windows Forms. The newest addition to the RadControls for WinForms suite is Telerik RadCalendar for WinForms – a control we kept in secret up until now. We decided to keep it a secret not only to surprise you...

    Launching a new blog

    I am pleased to announce that I am starting a new web development-oriented blog. I have been honored (Thanks, Joe!) to blog on weblogs.asp.net and I think that, after several years of active development on our ASP.NET control suite, I have something to say about web development. What will happen with this blog? Don't worry, I will keep posting interesting stuff here too. I am just trying to separate the general ASP.NET content from control development and Telerik-related news and announcements. What is the best way to stay on top of everything happening in my world? Go ahead and click the RSS...

    RadEditor Prometheus up to 76 percent faster

    For months now we have been talking about the new RadEditor being built in the "Prometheus" suite and how it is going to be the best version of RadEditor to date. Today an early preview of that work was released in the "Prometheus" Futures build and made available for general testing in the Telerik community. Obviously, the version that was released today looks a lot different from the final version that will be released- dialogues are still rough, features are unpolished, and some features are missing- but it is still a great look at what's coming. Today I ran the RadEditor Futures release build through...

    Ultimate .NET Credit Card Utility Class

    Have you ever thought about processing credit cards in your .NET application? If you have, then you know one of the first things you need to do is find some code to validate that credit card numbers entered by your users appear correct before you send them along to your payment processor. Having created applications in the past that process credit cards, I know that this task can be surprisingly harder than it should be. There are plenty of code snippets scattered across the 'Nets that show you how to do individual parts of the validating process, but there are few...
