The RadInputManager offers an easy and intuitive way to extend a standard ASP.NET TextBox, and without any extra custom code, introduce much functionality, normally related to a Telerik RadInput control.

About RadInputManager for ASP.NET AJAX

Within the RadInputManager, there are four types of settings which could be added:

  • telerik:TextBoxSetting - the targeted text box will exhibit behavior like a normal RadTextBox
  • telerik:NumericTextBoxSetting - the targeted textbox will be accepting numeric input
  • telerik:DateInputSetting - the targeted text box will be accepting input in a date format
  • telerik:RegExpTextBoxSetting - the targeted text box will be accepting characters corresponding to a specified regular expression
  • telerik:MaskedTextBoxSetting - the targeted text box will exhibit behavior like a RadMaskedTextBox

RadInputManager and 120+ other controls are part of UI for ASP.NET AJAX, a comprehensive toolset taking care of the common functionality of your application, while leaving you with more time to work on its business logic.

Key Features

  • Rich client-side and server-side API
  • Client-side and Server-side data validation
  • Advanced Skinning - The visual appearance of the Input controls can be easily customized through skins
