    WPF Shaders continued …

    Last time I asked if you find the pixel shaders useful in WPF applications. There were a couple of answers giving links to online resources, but no one did actually say they use shaders or find any practical application. Most of the examples in the internet target transition effects and I currently can’t think of any other practical application. Why so? Well, transition effects are good way to veil long loading times without using WPF transitions/animations, i.e. without increasing the CPU load (assuming effects are hardware accelerated). Applying effects constantly, on the other hand, will require rendering the scene all...

    How To: Telerik RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX with ASP.NET MVC

    I've made small example how to use RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX in Microsoft ASP.NET MVC:   The key here is to inherit from RadGrid and call explicitly desired grid commands. Let's say you want to edit particular record: 1) Create a template column and add this to the ItemTemplate: <%# Html.ActionLink("Edit", "RadGridCommand", new { ControlID = MyGrid1.ID, CommandName = "Edit", CommandArgument = Container.ItemIndexHierarchical }) %>   2) Now handle this in your controller: public ActionResult RadGridCommand(string ControlID, string CommandName, string CommandArgument) {     ViewData["ControlID"] = ControlID;     ViewData["CommandName"]= CommandName;     ViewData["CommandArgument"] = CommandArgument;     return View("Index"); }   3) Override OnPreRender in inherited class and call explicitly the grid...

    What's cooking in the WinForms team?

    We have served many dishes since we opened the WinForms restaurant, and I am delighted to say that our customers very much like the direction we are heading. Today I'm very excited to give you a taste of some really appetizing desert bites straight out of the WinForms kitchen! Needless to say, we get many requests for old tastes with new flavors, but this particular one stands out as a jalapeño sticking out of a cheese cake. Yes, we have been working on a new favorite desert recipe - RadScheduler for WinForms - a scheduler as tasty as we all want...
