    A XAMLFlix Video Tutorial: RadAutoCompleteBox for WPF and Silverlight

    Introduction As you may know, XAMLflix is a video series designed to get you up to speed quickly and easily with our Telerik controls for WPF and Silverlight. In this episode, we examine the RadAutoCompleteBox, looking at both single and multiple selection, as well as how you can tune the control to match the appearance of your project using themes. What Is RadAutoCompleteBox? RadAutoCompleteBox allows the user to type in one or more letters and see a list of potential matching values.

    Interacting with the RadDatePicker and RadTimePicker for Windows 8

I’m going to start where Michael left off, adding additional business rules and logic by interacting with controls. If you haven’t read his post, you can download the project from here. I will start from this project to add in the additional functionality.

    Build stronger applications with Coded UI Tests for WinForms. Today.

Microsoft knows that well and that’s why with the introduction of Visual Studio 2010 they unveiled their own test automation solution called Coded UI Tests. We plugged Telerik’s WinForms into this test automation ecosystem by introducing MSAA support for the whole suite which allowed for integration with the first level of Coded UI Tests. We did not stop there, however, and I am glad to inform you that as of Q3 2012 RadControls for WinForms suite will introduce full support for Coded UI Tests...

    Platform Guidance for .NET Developers

    We often get questions from our customers about which of the multitude of app frameworks that Microsoft provides for .NET developers they should pick. WinForms? WPF? Silverlight? ASP.NET? What’s the right solution for their problem? The answer is always the same: it depends. Unfortunately, that’s not very helpful, so we sat down and figured out just what it depends on and whether we can offer clear, concise guidance for our customers. The answer was “yes we can”. 2012 has been a busy year which included two major events in the life of a .NET developer: Silverlight desktop and web have been...
