    JustCode Code Templates

    Template Basics JustCode templates are much like Visual Studio code snippets. They give you a chance to seamlessly generate a piece of code following a predefined structure. In the general case you just have to pick up the real content, i.e. the stuff that actually defines the logic of the code, from a set of possible choices that JustCode computes for you. All the boilerplate code is automatically generated for you. For example, here is how the C# built-in foreach code template  normally works out: Step 1 – Expand the template Step 2 – Choose a collection variable to iterate over   Notice how the type of e automatically changes from string to int   Step...

    Silverlight 4 Update: Automate Your Popups Out-of-the-Box With WebUI Test Studio

    Have you heard the good news? Microsoft has just released a SL 4 update addressing some reported issues. Check Tim Heuer’s blog for details. This update is really important in regards to the Popups/ChildWindow automation. Until now the Telerik Automated Testing Tools required to track your popups manually which was inconvenient for some customers. With the latest official release of the product though and the new SL4 update this is no longer needed. Just upgrade the SL4 runtime on your machine and start automating those popups!   Enjoy! -Konstantin

    Building a Windows Phone 7 control from the ground up - Part Two - the “Date ListBox”

    The next interesting part of building a Windows Phone 7 DatePicker control is the Date ListBox. That is a ListBox which should meet the following requirements: Can display in a human readable manner one of the three Date components: Day, Month and Year Should be “Infinite” – as discussed in my previous post. Should use data virtualization (to be most efficient). As you can see our “Infinite ListBox” project now comes in hand. The last two of the upper requirements are already implemented and all we need to do is to implement a special VirtualizedDataItem<DateTime> that provides the needed information to bind to. For a...

    Nesting Prism Regions using RadRibbonBar

    This post is update to my first post about "Decouple RadRibbonBar with Composite Silverlight (Prism)" (Read More). Nesting Regions in Prism could sound weird to someone, but the demand for this is growing. Check this forum post for more info. As a result to this post I've decided to update my previous example project. I've started by marking the one of the RibbonTabs as a Region as well, giving it a name...

    Q3 2010 Telerik ASP.NET roadmaps published

    The Q3 2010 roadmaps for the Telerik ASP.NET AJAX and MVC product lines have just been baked and served to you (fresh out of the oven, as an old saying goes). Straight to the exciting news: There will be two long-anticipated new controls added to the AJAX suite - treelist and button - as well as several major new features/enhancements for the AsyncUpload, Calendar, Editor, Grid, Scheduler, Spell and Rotator components. We will also invest some time in improving the mobile browsers support of the AJAX controls. The idea is to dispense better user experience when you browse your sites (developed with our...
