Did you miss last week's RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX optimization webinar? Then don't miss this recorded video. This session covers the basics of optimizing RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX and introduces a handful of techniques you can use to make your ASP.NET pages with RadGrids faster. Catch the video above and grab the session slides and demo code below. Enjoy!
If you're like most developers using the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX, you're probably using RadGrid, Telerik's flagship grid component for the standards-based web. RadGrid allows you to do some incredible things in web applications without requiring you to write much (or any, in some cases) code. At some point, we've probably all experienced how RadGrid can help you create a ASP.NET page with data display, paging, filtering, grouping, editing, and "pretty styling" in a matter of minutes. We marveled at its ease of use and its ability to make us look like "super" developers to our bosses and clients.
"A webinar on a Tuesday?" you ask. "I thought the Telerik Weekly Webinars were on Thursdays." If you had this inner monologue, you'd be correct- the Telerik Weekly Webinars are still your regular online Thursday date, but tomorrow you have an extra chance to get some more training on the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. Specifically, you'll have a chance to get some professional training from the experts at Falafel on RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, April 28th at 9:00 AM Pacific Time (12 noon Eastern Time), you can attend a 2-hour live online training event that will cover advanced topics for the RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX. You'll learn everything from how to setup client-side data binding to to enabling drag-and-drop operations in the RadGrid to boosting performance with LINQ. It's a must see event for anyone looking to take their RadGrid skills to the next level.
And to all of you that usually wait for webcasts to show-up on Telerik TV, this one will not! You must catch it live, so don't miss your chance to get-in on this learning tomorrow. Price is just $30 for live, instructor lead training. Enjoy!

After the busy "news update" TWM last week, this week I decided to bring you an episode dedicated to cool Telerik coding tip. Specifically, in this episode I show you how you can easily use the client-side API of RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX to enable complete keyboard control over all filtering operations. You can change filtering functions and filter the grid without ever touching the mouse! It's a simple tweak you can easily add to any RadGrid to give your "power users" the ability to be more productive. Enjoy!

This Tuesday, Falafel CEO Lino Tadros delivered a great RadWebinar on RadGrid. It was the first free RadWebinar, and the turn-out was great! Over 200 people from around the globe tuned-in for the live event, and many questions were addressed during the live session. A big thanks to Lino for putting on such a great event and to all of you that attended live! We hope you enjoy these live resources in addition to all of the other video we're generating these days.
If you didn't get to see the live webinar, or if you just want to re-watch your favorite parts, we have the on-demand resources ready for your enjoyment. You can watch a streaming, on-demand version of the webinar at the bottom of this post and grab the complete webinar demo code (and PDF courseware and Q&A PDF) too. Soon we'll have a centralized location for viewing all past Telerik webinars, but for now enjoy the video from the comfort of Telerik Watch.
Stay tuned for another webinar announcement soon and keeping sending us your feedback so we know where to focus our webinar content in the future!
After a long, enjoyable holiday weekend (at least in the US), it's easy to forget items that have been on your calendar for weeks. So while you continue to "snooze" all of those important Outlook Reminders, here's your official reminder that the next RadWebinar is being held tomorrow, Tuesday, September 2nd at 9:30 AM PST (12:30 PM EST). And while this webinar is already quite full, we're leaving the registration open for all that are interested to attend.
As I mentioned in the original post, this webinar is unique for a few reasons (see the original post if you want to review) not the least of which is the advanced "301" session outline. Here's some of what Lino will cover tomorrow during this 2-hour webinar:
Grab your developer buddies, an open conference room, and join us for a great training session on RadGrid. And if you absolutely can't make it live, we will be making an on-demand version of this webcast available later this week. See you tomorrow!
So far, the RadWebinars by Falafel have been very successful training tools, but Telerik was concerned that too many people were not getting to benefit from the training because of the $99 price tag. We want everyone to benefit from the live, instructor-lead training on Telerik's tools. So, we're very excited and pleased to announce that RadWebinars are now a FREE resource! That's right. You can now get the same live, instructor-lead training from Falafel gratis. You're welcome.
And as if that news weren't enough, the next RadWebinar, which is covering advanced topics for RadGrid, will be taught none other than the brilliant and always entertaining Lino Tadros (Founder & CEO of Falafel). In this new session, Lino will cover topics like grid calculations, client-side grid operations, and improving performance with LINQ. Consider this a 301 session for RadGrid.
So let's recap:
Telerik Watch Minute too short for your tastes? Then first, let me know, and then check-out our own Kevin Babcock's new video series called RadTips! In this series, Kevin will be creating 5 to 10 minute screencasts showing you how to accomplish specific tasks with the RadControls. The format is simple and condensed so that you see the essential steps required to use some of the cool RadControl features.
For his first episode, Kevin shows you exactly what you need to do to use the RadGrid's new client-side data binding functionality (something I introduced you to in a recent TWM). In about 5 minutes, Kevin takes you from a blank page to working solution that is bound completely client-side. Future episodes will build on this example and show you how to add paging, filtering, and sorting your client-side operations. You can catch the video on Kevin's Telerik blog now.
Hopefully you enjoy this new format. It's longer than a Telerik Watch Minute, it's shorter than a full-on Telerik Trainer episode, and hopefully just right for those looking for quick RadControl tips. Let us know what you think and enjoy the new video series!
NOTE: Apologies in advance for the video quality. Not Kevin's fault at all. We're quickly working on bringing a very robust video CDN online so that we can deliver high quality videos around the world at incredible speeds. Stay tuned!
Looking for some cheap, live, instructor-lead training on RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX? Then don't miss today's RadWebinar on RadGrid! The webinar will start in a couple of hours (9:00 AM PST), so you've still got plenty of time to sign-up and tell your boss that you're attending some training this morning. The outline for today's session includes the following topics:
One of the most popular UI components Telerik makes is RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX. Thousands of developers around the globe use this component every day to bring rich, standards-based grid functionality to their applications, and that creates a lot of interest in resources for learning how to maximize the Grid's power. And if all the documentation, on-demand videos, KB articles, Code Library examples, Telerik Trainer tutorials, and online demos aren't enough, we're giving you one more option. On July 29th, Falafel will host the first RadWebinar covering RadGrid!
Officially titled "Developing with Telerik RadGrid," this live training session will follow the format used for the first two Telerik Reporting RadWebinars. The session will start at 9:30 AM (PST) and last for a couple of hours with dedicated time at the end to answer your questions. The price is still a very affordable (for live training) $99 and the registration is open now. If you're interested in attending this training, I suggest you sign-up early since the popularity of RadGrid is likely to cause this session to fill-up fast. I hope you enjoy the new resource- stay tuned for more RadWebinars in the coming weeks.
As the dog days of summer start to come to an end, it's time to start looking forward to the exciting new features coming in the Q2 2007 release. Four months have passed since the huge Q1 release and about three weeks remain before Q2 will hit the streets. Many controls will be getting new features in the next release, not the least of which is RadGrid.
RadGrid, which will get a major upgrade to version 5, is going to be sporting some very interesting new features. I almost hate to tell you the features here and ruin the surprise, but with a beta due late next week it's time to share. Aside from the normal round of bug fixes and performance improvements, RadGrid 5.0 will also feature:
