This could have been a blog post about the (almost) 9 year anniversary of .NET but the title is just a play of words. As pictures are worth a thousand words, I'll let the screenshots do the talking about a really cool feature that will ship in JustCode very soon. The “Decompile” command is available inside metadata .cs files and you can run it both for members: (the above command does this) and for entire types: Want to learn more? Keep an eye on the Telerik blogs and our Twitter feed in the upcoming weeks. We will be posting a lot of information. We will also offer FREE licenses...

Last week we officially published our first Beta release of the Rad Controls for Windows Phone 7. One of the major new components in this Beta release is our first data visualization entry - RadGauge. You can read more info about RadGauge in the announcement blog post. What we did right after the beta release is to make sure that RadGauge can be seen online - hosted in-browser.

For the purposes of this example will create a provider for NAVTEQ. The...

All of you that have been following my blog series about our automated approach for WP7 unit test execution may have noticed that the last couple of weeks I did not manage to publish since I mainly focused on the preparations around our upcoming Beta 1 release.

With this blog I am going to introduce...

It makes no sense to try and encapsulate all of this flexibility in a single object with some properties. During the design-phase of the gauges a few questions popped up the most important of which is, of course, what exactly...
