    WinForms RadGridView's new clothes

      In our latest release – Q1 2009 – we were focused mostly on addressing known issues and minimizing the memory footprint of RadGridView for WinForms.  However, we managed also to steal some time and redesign all of RadGridView’s themes. Some optimizations in our TPF framework helped us with this task. One of the heaviest operations in GDI+ is clipping. We managed to remove the clipping where it wasn’t really needed. This way we achieved two goals with a single shot: first, we got a performance boost, and second, we achieved better graphics and smoothed edges when using shapes. Our new Desert...

    RadScheduler for WinForms has learned some nice new tricks

    The long awaited Q1 2009 release is finally out and with it comes a greatly improved version of RadScheduler for WinForms. Among the more interesting new features of RadScheduler are: Multi-day view   Notice how there are two date time intervals shown – (13 – 14 March) and (17 – 19 March). Brand new iCalendar import / export functionality which will allow you to make applications with RadScheduler that can exchange appointment data with Outlook. (Dedicated blog post to follow soon.)

    Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to present a webinar discussing the RadGridView for WPF.  The control was built from the ground-up to take advantage of the WPF platform and the .NET 3.5 framework.  RadGridView for WPF represents the next generation in flexible data presentation controls you need to build powerful line of business applications. In the webinar, I provided an overview of RadGridView to help you understand all of its capabilities. If you are interested in seeing what was discussed, I welcome you to visit Telerik TV to view the full webinar using the following...

    Building WPF-like Interfaces with RadControls for WinForms

    A couple of weeks ago I did a quick review of the white papers we have on RadControls for WinForms and it turned out that they, just like humans, age with time. Although still valid, the white papers were outdated, so we decided to rejuvenate them. The first white paper which we brought up to date is “Building WPF-like Interfaces with RadControls for WinForms." In addition to bringing WPF to the equation (it used to compare our WinForms suite to Windows Vista, which was hype back when the original white paper was published two years ago), it received a new...
