    Test Studio Now Supports Desktop Testing. See it Firsthand at the Release Webinar

    As you might have already heard, Telerik shipped a new version of its automated testing tools last week. The release introduced the long-awaited support for testing WPF applications, as well as many other essential features, most of them requested by you, the customers. R1 2011 boosts the tools reporting capabilities, adds translators for pretty much all of the generic Microsoft WPF controls as well as most of the RadControls for WPF, and features a brand-new, richer and much simplified FindExpression UI. You’ll be happy to find out that we also added: support for Internet Explorer 9 and Firefox 4; run test...

    Reading/Writing cookies with HtmlPlaceholder for Silverlight

    Recently we received a support ticket with a question whether RadHtmlPlaceholder provides support for cookies. By default, RadHtmlPlaceholder doesn't have a mechanism for reading/writing cookies. However, with the right bits of JavaScript, everything is possible :) Imagine you have an HTML page which you want to read/write cookies to and all this has to happen from Silverlight. First, you need few JavaScript methods for reading/writing cookies. Let's call the page we want to read/write cookies to CookiesPage.html. <html>     <head>         <title>Cookies Page</title>         <script type="text/javascript">             // Create a cookie with the specified name and value             function SetCookie(name, value) {                 document.cookie = name + "=" + value;                 alert("Cookie successfully set");             }             // Retrieve the value of...

    Memory Leaks and Memory Consumption in web applications (Part 3)

    This post is number three in a three part series about memory consumption for web applications. Links to Part 1 and Part 2. Memory Consumption - Best Practices To be perfectly honest there is only one issue with memory consumption, i.e. using too much of it. Size does matter. Therefore every web developer should try and minimize the impact on the usage of memory, especially when the application tends to become huge. Web applications are becoming more and more client-side oriented and staying on one and the same page for hours should not be an exception. Therefore careful creation of new objects, managing the...

    Creating Validation with RadDatePicker and RadWindow for WP7

    When allowing users to select a date value in your applications, one of the obvious issues is ensuring that they aren’t allowed to pick a value like December 24th, 563.  Thankfully, the developers for our Windows Phone team have incorporated some properties to help prevent this.  Step 1 – Min and Max Value Properties The easy way to make this happen is to simply set a MinValue and MaxValue.  In our scenario, we will say that we are scheduling appointments for some event in the future, therefore we can easily set out MinValue and MaxValue either via Xaml: <telerikInput:RadDatePicker x:Name="xRadDatePicker"                             Grid.Row="1"                             VerticalAlignment="Center"                             MinValue="5-6-2011"                             MaxValue="11-6-2011"/>   Or since we can’t hard-code a...
