    One Year since TeamPulse V1

    I can’t believe it’s only been a year since we launched our first version of TeamPulse. We actually announced to the world that Telerik was entering into the world of Agile Project Management tooling in April of 2010, however, our first “official” release wasn’t until July 27th of 2010. Today we released our 4th official release of TeamPulse; the 2011 R2 release: http://www.telerik.com/agile-project-management-tools/whats-new.aspx Our initial release shipped with what we thought were a “core” set of features that we could build upon very aggressively to support our long term vision: In our latest release, we really nailed some ...

    Our Strategy Has NOT Shifted – Telerik, HTML5 and Silverlight

    Todd Anglin from our team posted a great blog entry yesterday. In it, he provides some interesting examination and commentary on Microsoft’s vision of the web, the birth of XAML technologies and the evolution of MS’s view on what the development experience for the web should be. Some of Todd’s main points are that  We should not be terribly surprised by Microsoft’s swings in direction.  The swings are driven by competitive pressure.  HTML5+JS+CSS3 is a viable application development stack.  You need good tooling for that (and he makes a gentle Kendo plug). The blog also received a number of interesting comments that made me think Todd was being...

    Location Crosshair for Silverlight Chart

    Hello everyone, This blog post will demonstrate how to add location crosshair for RadChart as well as location indicator (achieved by two TextBlock-s that track the current mouse location). To achieve the crosshair functionality you will add two custom gridlines to the ChartArea (each of them parallel to one of the axes). Also, you will need three events – MouseEnter, MouseLeave and MouseMove to track the mouse cursor position and “move” the gridlines across the plot area. By handling the MouseEnter and MouseLeave events you’ll change the visibility of the gridlines to Visible and Collapsed whenever the mouse cursor enters or leaves the...

    Supporting a Dinosaur: Time to end IE6 support?

    Like it or not (and, frankly, I’m not sure who likes it), IE6 is not yet 100% dead. Try as is it might, the web developer community and even Microsoft have failed to put this ancient, broken browser in the dust bin more than 10 years after its...
