    Why did Telerik enter the Windows Forms market for UI components?

    It’s an interesting question that I got from a customer at a conference recently. He was wondering why we entered the Windows Forms space when we were a few years late compared to the other vendors and WPF was knocking on the door.  There were a couple of reasons – we have a passion at Telerik to bring controls to Microsoft developers on whatever platform they are developing on. Also at the time we wanted to take the challenge to create desktop UI components where there was no market for WPF. WPF technology was changing from release to release which lead...

    Pony returns

    Well... I haven't blogged for so long that I almost forgot about this activity. One of my last posts was around the time we made "the big Bang release". It was so long ago (April 2007) that we spelled Rad as r.a.d. at that time. May be you remember that at that time there was a quest about the release and there was a forum thread about the quest. One guy (Mark Fitzpatrick) asked for RadPony. Well, we couldn't release a pony and it's still not sure it’s going to appear on the roadmap but somehow for me the pony...

    Re-engineering RadGridView for WinForms (part II)

    As promised, I am following up with the second part of the work we have done on RadGridView during the past release. If you have read the first part, you would remember that our goal was to provide a stable, fast and usable GridView product which has to live up to Telerik’s high standards. In  Re-engineering RadGridView for WinForms (part I) I talked about: Improvements to the UI and element painting in the Telerik Presentation Framework (TPF), which raised RadGridView’s painting speed with some 30-60%, depending on the scenario the grid is used in;  Performance improvements in the data layer, which had an astonishing...

    Re-engineering RadGridView for WinForms (part I)

    Shortly after the release of Q2 2007 SP1 in October we have started re-factoring RadGridView for WinForms. Our aim was to provide our clients with a stable, performing and usable product - tasks of great importance both to our customers, and to us being the supporting party. Last week we released the beta of RadControls for WinForms Q3 2007, which includes our newest controls, but it does not give much details on our progress with vNEXT of RadGridView. So I decided to provide you with an update of the current standing of our RadGridView for WinForms control and our future...

    ClickOnce and the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit

    Some time ago a client of ours asked us whether he can use the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit with ClickOnce. Although we have a KB article on how to deploy the WinForms suite with ClickOnce, we do not have explicit instructions on doing this with the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit. So, here they are. Applications built with CAB have always caused problems when it is time to deploy them with ClickOnce. Applications built with the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit or (TCEK for short) are no different. Why this is considered such a painful task? Well, to most extent because CAB...
