Previously, this required custom code in the NodeBound event handler. </li> <li>NodeTemplate per node - you can now specify different templates for different tree nodes. </li> <li>Full WYSISWYG design time support in VS 2005, including AutoFormat preview dialog. </li> <li>The full error message of a server-side error is now shown in the browser when callback is used (node.ExpandMode = ExpandMode.ServerSideCallBack). Previously, a javascript error occurred and there was no visual clue for the error. Now, it is much easier for developers to debug their callback event handler. </li></ul> Changes and Backward Compatibility <ul> <li>New RadTreeView Properties: o AppendDataBoundNodes - boolean specifying whether treenodes should be cleared prior to databinding (default is true). This property do not apply for nodes that are set declaratively - in the aspx file. o RadTreeView.DataTextFormatString - the format string that should be applied to the Text property of the tree nodes upon databinding. o RadTreeView.DataNavigateUrlField - the datasource field that should be mapped to the NavigateUrl property of the tree nodes </li> <li>New RadTreeNode Properties & Methods: o RadTreeNode.IsAncestorOf(RadTreeNode node) - whether the node's parameter is ancestor of the current node o RadTreeNode.IsDescendantOf(RadTreeNode node) - whether the node's parameter is descendant of the current node o RadTreeNode.Owner - obtains a reference to the owner of the node (either parent node or the treeview itself for root nodes) </li> <li>Obsolete / Renamed Properties & Methods: o RadTreeNode.ID -> Obsolete (Reserved for internal use. Please, use RadTreeNode.Value or a custom attribute instead) o RadTreeNode.Href -> RadTreeNode.NavigateUrl o RadTreeNode.Image -> RadTreeNode.ImageUrl o RadTreeNode.ImageExpanded -> RadTreeNode.ImageExpandedUrl o RadTreeNode.TreeViewParent -> RadTreeNode.TreeView o RadTreeNodeEventArgs.NodeBoundDataRow -> RadTreeNode.DataItem (since the treeview can now be bound to a number of datasources, the respective item/row type of different datasources varies. You need to cast the RadTreeNode.DataItem property to the respective type before mapping data in the NodeBound event handler. Alternatively, you can use the new declarative DataBindings functionality). o RadTreeView.FindNodeById() - this method is obsolete since RadTreeNode.ID is reserved for internal use, this method is no longer needed. You can use RadTreeView.FindNodeByValue() instead. </li> <li>General (and potentially breaking) changes: o RadTreeNode.ID is no longer persisted after postback/callback. This is the general approach in ASP.NET framework for child controls/items. You can use RadTreeNode.Value or a custom attribute instead. o The sorting functionality has now been removed since it has been causing more problems than it actually solved. We were forced to remove the sorting mechanism for a couple of reasons  The built in sorting mechanism was not flexible enough (only sorting based on RadTreeNode.Text)  Sorting took place in the OnPreRender event - nodes were sorted just prior to rendering and sorted order was not always guaranteed. The solution is to first sort your datasource and then use databinding or to first bind the treeview and then manually sort each RadTreeNodeCollection (node.Nodes) per your custom requirements. o The DataBinding expressions have been changed to reflect ASP.NET standards. Container is now used for the RadTreeNode instance, while Container.DataItem refers to the current item/row in the respective datasource upon databinding. Example: // This databinding expression will use the Text property of the respective RadTreeNode <nodetemplate><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "Text" %></nodetemplate> // This databinding expression will use the "TextField" field of the respective datasource upon databinding </nodetemplate></li></ul> This is the first release of r.a.d.treeview 6.0 so now is the best time for your feedback.

r.a.d.ajax beta
On behalf of our product team it is a great pleasure to reveal the next generation of telerik AJAX offering. The new r.a.d.ajax product line consists of two major components AJAX Panel and AJAX Manager. With our latest patent-pending framework we are providing a very intuitive and codeless experience for a variety of scenarios. Key Product Highlights: The Ajax Panel is a universal AJAX-enabling container that causes and ASP.NET component(s) placed inside to start making AJAX callbacks instead of traditional postbacks. The content of the panel is automatically updated after the server response and form (data) values are reflected on the server. The normal page life-cycle as well as ViewState and client scripts are preserved. The AJAX Manager defines and controls the interconnection among page elements. In a declarative (programmatic also possible) manner or through a convenient VS.NET design-time builder the AJAX Manager defines which element(s) should initiate AJAX callbacks and which elements should be respectively updated. The AJAX Manager offers a quick way to convert a postback-based application to an AJAX application with a few mouse clicks and without writing a single line of code. This is the first beta release of r.a.d.ajax so now is the best time to offer your suggestions. Your feedback is very welcome!

r.a.d.callback 2.0 beta
Our team is happy to release an update on r.a.d.callback v2.0 about a week before the official Q1 release. First of all, I would like to personally thank all of you for your interest in our Beta Program. Your feedback has been highly valuable and we have done our best to implement most of your suggestions as quickly as possible. What's New in Beta 2: -New properties for the LoadingPanel control IsSticky - specifies whether the Loading Panel stays at a fixed position or overlaps the updated control. oInitialDelayTime - specifies after how many milliseconds the Loading Panel should appear. oMinDisplayTime - specifies at least how many milliseconds the Loading Panel will be visible. -New property: ConfirmMessage - specifies the text of the confirmation dialog that shows before the callback request is being performed. If the confirm message is negatively answered the callback request is cancelled. -Controls which are inside a naming container different from the callback one are properly updated now. -ControlsToUpdate.Add([control]) method is now fixed. -Callback requests can now be canceled in the OnRequestStart client event by returning false. -CallbackEnabled property is now changed to EnableAJAX. -All extended callback events can be called in a postback if EnableAJAX property is set to false. This feature is also applicable for RadCallback and CallbackTimer controls. -Other Minor optimizations and improvements. I am looking forward to hearing your comments. Thank you in advance.

r.a.d.upload 2.0 new release
1. Attach a progress area to <input type=file> element - RadProgressArea can now be used with the standard <input type=file> elements without the presence of RadUpload on the page. Developers may find this scenario useful when they want to create a completely custom upload form user interface. 2. New RadProgressManager control - is used for monitoring the form submission progress and updating the progress areas on the page. 3. Monitor any measurable server process - Thanks to the new RadProgressManager you can use the progress area to monitor not only file uploads but also any time consuming tasks on the server such as heavy calculations, database queries, etc. 4. Multiple progress areas - The developers can now put any number of progress areas on a page. 5. Custom progress areas with templates - RadProgressArea contains a ProgressTemplate property, which can be used to fully customize its content and style. For example you can rearrange the progress elements or create your own progress bar. 6. Reduced server load - r.a.d.upload now features a new HttpHandler specially designed for monitoring the process and updating its progress. As a result upon a request for progress update the server does not pass through the complete page lifecycle as this is not needed. This significantly reduces the server load and data transfer. 7.

r.a.d.controls Q2 2006 new release
 What’s New in r.a.d.controls Q2 2006 r.a.d.ajax framework provides a universal, cross-browser approach for creating highly interactive applications. The patent-pending Click-and-Go™ technology allows developers to AJAX-enable any new or existing ASP.NET application without making any modifications (placing Update Panels, setting triggers, etc.) and without writing a single line of JavaScript or server-side code. Optimized rendering: telerik navigation controls now implement a highly efficient semantic rendering, which uses list items and CSS instead of tables. As a result the HTML output is reduced by up to 70%, which dramatically improves performance. Skins: r.a.d.controls suite is now shipped with a consistent set of skins that allow you to easily build slick interfaces with the look-and-feel of Windows XP, Office, Visual Studio, etc. The skin of every control can be easily switched using a single property.
