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...

PDC is just a few days away and Telerik is excited to be setting up shop at the conference. Whether you use our tools or are just interested in what we're up to these days, we'd love for you to stop by and say hello.

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.

Now I can...

I've already blogged about the new RadInputManager control in the Beta of Q3 2008 for RadControls ASP.NET AJAX. One of the other very useful features that you can now take advantage of in the RadInputManager is its RegExpTextBox setting. Regular expressions are a good way to validate text fields such as names, addresses, phone numbers, and other user information. You can use it to constrain input, apply formatting rules, and check lengths. If you capture input by using TextBox controls, you can use the RegExpTextBoxSetting settings to validate that input - for example to restrict the range of valid characters, to strip...

Our insatiable commitment to deliver more than expected in every aspect of our products resulted in me being curious, if we are as flexible as we think and whether one can always achieve his goal be it out of the box or with custom solution using our API and other controls if necessary. Hmmm what could that custom solution be – how about a custom Toolbar for our web ReportViewer.
