The Telerik Visual Studio Extensions are now included in the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX and RadControls for Silverlight installers in order to make the development of applications with Telerik RadControls faster and easier. The main entry point for the Visual Studio Extensions is the Telerik menu. It is context sensitive and changes its state depending on the projects you are working on. 1) Create New Telerik Project menu item This state can be observed when no solution is opened or the currently selected project is not suitable for use with RadControls. Using the Create New Telerik Project menu item you can create a new Telerik Project with...

Last week Telerik put its Q3 release live into production. One of the cool new Q3 features is that OpenAccess now works seamlessly with Visual Studio 2010. That means you can target .NET 3.5 or .NET 4.0 using either Visual Studio 2008 (.NET 3.5) or Visual Studio 2010 (.NET 4.0). I will do a quick demo with Visual Studio 2010, SQL Azure, and OpenAccess. With OpenAccess Q3 installed, I fired up Visual Studio 2010 and started a console project targeting .NET 4.0 While the project will target the .NET 4.0 Framework, we have to do one small thing to make...

If you need a custom editor to edit a specific data, you can use one of the following approaches:   Use CellEditTemplate property of the GridViewColumn.

For more information about this approach you can take a look at this online example.   In this blog post I’ll try to explain how to...

So this is not my normal type of post, but I wanted to take a moment to thank the folks over at the Fairfield / Westchester Code Camp for a great time this past Saturday.  They had 24 sessions going over 4 tracks to cover the day, with a lot of great content on everything from my personal favorite, Silverlight, to Azure, F#, Poweshell, and a ton more.  Looking forward to all of the presentations being posted online so I could see some of what I missed.     Telerik was one of the sponsors for this awesome code camp, but aside from...
