Here's the Roadmap: http://www.sitefinity.com/product/see-also/roadmap The mobile changes look good, and I have no love for Silverlight so it's nice to see that go. I have not heard of a lot of requests to Sync SharePoint libraries with Sitefinity. The Ecommerce module can only get better.

When using Telerik controls in a web application, it's important to know that controls like RadTextBox add many events at runtime via Javascript. If you View the HTML Source of a page with Telerik controls you'll notice that there's a at least one Javascript call per Telerik control.If you're in IE 8 that has a notoriously slow Javascript engine, this can create performance issues for you.http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/general-discussions/please-help-extreme-performance-issues-in-ie8.aspx

You can get .NET to combine lots of JS files into one file at runtime to reduce the number of calls from browser to server. Telerik has a control that will do the same thing.http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/scriptmanager-script-grouping.html

More and more I find bots are filling out contact us forms right and left. I do like two of Telerik's strategies to deal with this.The first is 'Minimum form submission time', which assumes that a human cannot fill in the form correctly within 3 seconds.The other is the 'Invisible textbox' where a textbox is made invisible through CSS. A bot will see the textbox, and fill it in. Two nice strategies. I assume the more advanced bots just wait 10 seconds to fill in a form and they probably have a workaround for invisible text boxes, but ...

Here's a problem I'm having:Cannot unregister UpdatePanel with ID '' since it was not registered with the ScriptManager. This might occur if the UpdatePanel was removed from the control tree and later added again, which is not supported.Parameter name: updatePanelIt turns out that the Sitefinity backend is complaining about a Telerik RadCaptcha control that I am using. The page works in the live site, but blows up with this error in the Sitefinity backend. Not sure what the fix is yet.

With any webforms app, there's a couple of issues when you're trying to get .NET controls IDs into Javascript. It works best when you have javascript on the same aspx page as the controls you're using, although not the ideal solution because external JS files are so much nicer. I found a nice link that explains how to do this by registering the javascript files, but I've since lost it and will have to find it again.When working with Telerik controls and using the Telerik tags RadCodeBlock and RadScriptBlock, you have some of the same considerations.RadCodeBlock is used ...

If you're in IE 9.0, you may get some javascript errors when you go to edit templates or pages. When this occurs, IE will stop processing Javascript at the line where the error occurs and no other javascript will be executed.Depending on where it breaks, the Publish and 'Back to Templates' button and link no longer work. You're essentially stuck.My quick fix was to try Firefox-which had the same issue. I then edited the page in Chrome and it worked-no javascript issue and I was able to edit and save the template.

Sitefinity 5.1 has been released today! To my surprise Sitefinity now supports MVC, which is awesome. All of our custom software development is done in MVC, not in Webforms. For so many controls, MVC is just easier.The Forms module can now send an EMAIL. Finally!I noticed they also fixed some issues with Master Pages, which is great, because I've blogged about a bunch of annoying issues. Sitefinity Templates are still the way to go.Document Search will now index PDFs and Word Documents. That's a huge plus.Full Sitefinity 5.1 Release Notes HereWhat's new in Sitefinity 5.1 ...
