    Using Telerik’s New LINQ Implementation with SQL Azure

    With the Q1 release of Telerik OpenAccess ORM, Telerik released a brand new LINQ Implementation and supporting Visual Entity Designer. I have shown in this blog how to connect to SQL Server, MySQL, and how to use the new LINQ with RIA Services. Today I will show you how to connect to SQL Azure. To get started, we have to create a new Telerik Domain Model in the server (ASP.NET) project. We’ll create a new Domain Model by right clicking on the server project and selecting “Add” and choosing the Telerik Domain Model from the menu. In the dialog presented by OpenAccess select the database you...

    How - to: Change the Default Keyboard Behavior in RadGridView for Silverlight/ WPF

    RadGridView provides a set of keyboard navigation scenarios that will result in certain consequence of commands to be executed. Thus – and naturally in this case - when clicking on the Del–button will cause deletion of the current item, Ins-button will add a new one into the grid. However, there exists a great possibility that you do not need this pre-coded behavior and you want to predefine it. In that case you can follow up one of the following two scenarios. The first one is to use the basic interface responsible for the keyboard navigation – IKeyboardCommandProvider and implement your own...

    Q2’10 Pre-Release Series: the XAML Suites Add New Controls, RichTextBox for Silverlight, New Transparent Theme and more

    The spotlight of the Q2 2010 release for RadControls for Silverlight falls on the officially introduced RadRichTextBox for Silverlight, allowing you to bring true MS Word-like content editing experience to your end-users. The new control offers rich text editing and formatting capabilities as well as out-of-browser support and printing. As one of the most demanded features from the Telerik developer community during the preview release, import and export of Html, Docx, and Xaml are already included in the control.  The Q2 2010 release stays faithful to Telerik’s tradition of releasing the same controls for RadControls for Silverlight and WPF, allowing for...

    The Telerik CDN – Now with SSL support too!

    A not-so-minor drawback of our original CDN implementation was that it didn’t support secure sites. Your application will still work, but the Telerik controls will fall back to the slower Amazon S3 service when an HTTPS request is detected. But that’s a thing of the past! The Amazon CloudFront service now supports HTTPS Access and you can take advantage of it immediately.   Joy all around Simply set the BaseSecureUrl property to the corresponding values for RadScriptManager/RadStyleSheetManager:  <telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server">    <CdnSettings BaseSecureUrl="https://d2i2wahzwrm1n5.cloudfront.net" TelerikCdn="Enabled" /> </telerik:RadScriptManager>   <telerik:RadStyleSheetManager id="RadStyleSheetManager1"  runat="server" >    <CdnSettings BaseSecureUrl="https://d35islomi5rx1v.cloudfront.net" TelerikCdn="Enabled" /> </telerik:RadStyleSheetManager>  You can also do so through the global web.config settings:  <appSettings>  ...

    Using jQuery selectors in WebUI Test Studio

    One of the key factors to the increased popularity of jQuery is its powerful selector syntax that can be used to find elements in the DOM. The syntax enables simple selections like selecting an element using an ID (#my_id) to more complex mutli-element selections and filtering. The power and popularity of jQuery selectors prompted many of our customers to request support for similar selection/query syntax in our WebAii Testing Framework. It is worth noting here that WebUI Test Studio is built on top off the WebAii Framework and customers using WebUI Test Studio have full access to the framework API ...
