I’m happy to announce another episode of RadTips, a series of screencasts offering tips and tricks for using Telerik's RadControls. If you've missed previous episodes, be sure to check them out. Each is only a few minutes long and covers a specific feature of the RadControls. Here is a list of the last few episodes...

The RadGridView for WPF uses the ItemsSource property for binding data.  ItemsSource is actually of type System.Object which not only allows you to bind to any data source that implements IEnumerable, but also the ADO.NET DataTable and DataSet.  In this post, I am going to demonstrate how you can quickly bind data to the RadGridView for WPF.  The task will be to build a car repair shop application which will display all the cars currently in the shop.  To get started we need to have some data, so we will use a simple class to store Car information.       public class Car       {           public string Make { get; set; }...

At first I was convinced that the tools would be good enough for me but as it usually occurs the truth lies somewhere in between. Here's what I have in mind.

If you use StoryQ you could end up having something like this: [TestMethod]      public void TransferToCashAccount()      {   ...

At the very end of 2008, the DotNetNuke Corporation released a new major version of their web application framework - DNN 5.0.0. Our modules and skinobject PAs were not compatible with the new release because of a change in DotNetNuke's handling of files and subfolders in the PA archive.

The agile manifesto says "Individuals and interactions over processes and tools" and I completely agree, the processes and tools won't turn your project into a success story, the individuals and interactions will. But what if you're already satisfied with the individuals and interactions and you're starting to look for how you could make your life easier. And here comes the role of the tools - to bring as less overhead as possible and at the same time help you meet your goals easier. That's what I was looking for when I decided to give BDD a try. First I had to decide which of the following...
