In order for a string to be read from all computers sometimes it is useful to encode and decode it. This can be easily achieved using the JavaScript built-in escape() and unescape() methods. Both the escape() and the unescape() methods have the same argument – the string which will be escaped or unescaped. The escape() method returns a string value (in Unicode format) that represents the encoded contents of the function argument. All spaces, punctuation, accented characters, and any other non-ASCII characters are replaced with %xx encoding, where xx is equivalent to the hexadecimal number representing the character. For example, a space is returned as "%20". Additionally, having...

Then I read Dan North's post introducing the idea of Behavior Driven Development and I finally started catching the point. But catching the point at that time was not like "well, it's worth it and I'll try it" but rather like "ok, it's a TDD variation with some funky new lingo, so... ok". I could abandon...

I am sure that you are wondering why I would spend time blogging about implementing a control as simple as the RadNumericUpDown for WPF.  After all this is not a complex control and if you have done any client development you have probably used a NumericUpDown in the past.  Well, this is not the same control and it does have some nice features that you may not be aware are available.  I thought it might be nice to demonstrate some of these features.
