    A brand new Timeline view for Teleriks Scheduler control for Silverlight/WPF

    Along with other main features like standard resources and resource grouping, the Q3 2009 release brought an additional view to the present ones (Day, Week and Month) – Timeline. Briefly said, it displays a certain number of consecutive time slots and like all other views, the Timeline view is configurable in almost the same way. Here is how it looks like by default:     … where each time slot is 1 day long (i.e. TimeSlotLength of the TimelineViewDefinition is equal to one day) and the date in each header is displayed in a “d-M-yyyy” format. Let’s tweak a bit some of the settings related...

    Using Connection Strings with Telerik OpenAccess ORM

    As you might already found out, with the 2009 Q3 release of Telerik OpenAccess ORM we made the first step of providing an easier and more natural way of defining database connection settings for your applications. In other words, OpenAccess now supports standard ADO.NET connection strings. The aim of this post is to brief you how to use them with the product. To use Telerik OpenAccess ORM in a Visual Studio project, you should run the Enable project wizard first. A detailed article on how to use the wizard can be found in our documentation. Let’s just see what is new in this release....

We will most definitely show the Telerik Dashboard and Work Item Manager as well as chat about tons of other great tools. Most importantly, we want to hear from you at this session.

    WebAii v2.0: Let Your Tests Share the Same Browser Instance

    One of the features I really enjoy in WebAii v2.0 is the RecycleBrowser option. It changes the behavior of your tests, i.e. they keep running in the same browser instance (when set to ‘true’) instead of opening a new browser for each test. The default value is ‘false’ for consistency with the previous framework versions behavior. You can programmatically update that setting via the Settings class or using the Application’s config file. However, there are some details you should have in mind when using that option. We do use the RecycleBrowser option in the WebAii Testing Framework Sample Tests ...
