Telerik - Custom Group Footers In RadGrid

As anyone that has dealt with this knows Telerik only supports a single Group or Header Template.  So what happens when you want to change them?  You really only have two options from what I have seen.  The first option is to have something in the data that is brought back that you can use in the designer code in the form of a conditional.  Too bad I do not see a way to check the data based on level like some sort of ParentID like some people have done.  If the ParentID is null  It would look something like below where you check it in the designer: < asp : Label runat = "server" ID = "Label2" Text = '<%# "Number of items in group: "+ (((GridGroupHeaderItem)Container).AggregatesValues["AvailableUnits"]) %>' Visible = '<%# ((((GridGroupHeaderItem)Container).AggregatesValues["AvailableUnits"]) != null)%>' > Or you can use the code behind to really get at the groupIDs like this per...

Asp.Net - Restricting File Upload Size Client Side

So the problem I encountered was that the site would throw an ugly "maxAllowedContentLength exceeded" error when a user would try to upload a file beyond a certain size.  One of the difficulties with this is that the error is thrown before it even gets to an event, so you cannot try to handle it there.

Also if they disable Javascript th...

Debug Side Effects With StreamReader

Image
Say you get the response stream, and you want to see what the value is in the Watch.     Dim resp As HttpWebResponse = DirectCast(req.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)     Dim sr As New System.IO.StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream())     Return sr.ReadToEnd() You click the little refresh button you can evaluate the stream and view the response.  However, when the stream returns the object it will be string.empty.  Visual Studio 2012 does warn you about it having side-effects, but I did not think it would be to this extent.  I would think it would reset the stream to the previous state when continuing, but it does not.  Odd.
