Every once in a while a customer will come to us and ask about a particular piece of functionality in one of the RadControls for Silverlight or RadControls for WPF that isn't covered in the demos, documentation, or videos. Just this week, one of the fans on our Telerik Facebook page did just that - specifically asking whether you could use a certain type of layout panel for the drag cue of RadDragAndDropManager.  Normally in a case like this, I want to say "Yeah, it's just a DataTemplate in Silverlight/WPF, so you could do almost anything there!" But we're developers, and code speaks...

As you can imagine, we use a lot of our own products internally - all our teams use our Agile Project Management software, Team Pulse; Sitefinity uses our ASP.NET AJAX tools, ORM and RadControls for Silverlight and Test Studio for automated functional and regression testing; Test Studio uses ORM, RadControls for WPF - and this does not even begin to touch upon the collaboration and cross product use here at Telerik.

In Part 1 of this series we covered how you can create an MVC (both MVC 2 and MVC 3) web application that is ready to be published to the cloud.

Launching to the cloud So your project is ready to rock and you’re eager to brag to everyone that...

As you may already know, we are working hard to improve the RadSlider in a broad way. We've fixed a lot of issues, but also added a lot of new cool features. Now it's so easy to customize and bind (in MVVM-ish way), that I've created this Windows 7 "Mixer" like example in less than an hour. I didn't change the Slider's ControlTemplate and don't have a single line of code behind. (Please note that the new slider will be available with the  beta of Q2.2011 ). Download and play with the new bits

G’day mates, I would like to share something with you – me and my family recently moved to Sydney, Australia to enjoy the nice weather and the golden beaches down under and for me to become Mr. Telerik Australia. :-) The press release says: “We see that the Australian and New Zealand are expressing great interest in our latest software developer productivity solutions, data conversion tools, automated Web Testing tools, and CMS offerings and our goal is to answer these markets’ needs by broadening our presence, our community and our technical team in this dynamic region.” Firstly, this means our commitment to this market, and...
