Enhancing Your WinForms UI with HTML-like Formatting
Until recently our Windows Forms offering didn’t have support for HTML-like rich text formatting, so typical for web applications. With the Q3 release shipped on November 5 this has changed. This release of RadControls for WinForms has the HTML-like formatting capabilities on a framework level. What does it mean? Well, as of now every VisualElement descendent is capable of rich text formatting - Labels, Buttons, RadCalendar, RadGridView, etc. The implementation is very simple, especially if your users are familiar with HTML. To turn on the rich formatting behavior you must begin your text with an <html> tag; use <size=[+|-]value> to set...November 10, 2008 -

RadControls for WinForms in Telerik Trainer
Recently there was a question posted on the Telerik forums asking if there were plans to include some Telerik Trainer videos for the RadControls for WinForms. The timing of this question was great since there was already a video being produced on this very topic. If you haven't experienced the Telerik Trainer, you are missing out. It presents video content on a given topic with the ability to jump to any part of that video via the Table of Contents. Additionally, when there is code being presented as part of the video the Telerik Trainer allows you open the code for...November 06, 2008 -

Styling Telerik Controls
I thought it might be interesting to do a quick rundown of the Visual Style Builder.

For example, if you select the RadButton control under the File | LoadControl menu, you will see it displayed center screen. As you move your mouse cursor over the control...October 28, 2008 -

Host Telerik’s WPF Gauges and Charts in RadGridView for WinForms
Did you have a chance to try the beta versions of Telerik’s WPF gauges and charts ? Yes? And you like them, but already have a big and complex WinForms project and you have no plans to upgrade it to the new amazing WPF technology soon? Do not worry; you can get the best of both worlds and use the WPF goodies in your WinForms application thanks to the ElementHost control that resides in the namespace System.Windows.Forms.Integration. You could find more info on this topic in the following MSDN article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms745781.aspx Following this concept, I have prepared a WinForms application with Telerik’s WPF...October 24, 2008 -

Display data hierarchy in the RadGridView
Sometimes it can be valuable to display hierarchy data in a grid. It can allow users to quickly drill down into the data at the click of a button. Below you will see a sample database with just three tables. Notice that this is very elementary example, but it works well to demonstrate how easy it is to leverage hierarchy within the RadGridView control. I am using LINQToSQL to pull the data from the database. Below you will see the classes created after I did a drag and drop of the tables using Server Explorer in Visual Studio 2008. Now I can...October 24, 2008
