One of the early (great) pieces of feedback we received during the Kendo UI beta is that you want to see more examples of Kendo UI in action. Sure, there is a huge (and growing) Kendo UI demo center, loaded with focused demos for Kendo UI...

This is part one of the RadChart for WinRT blog series. For more information please refer to the other parts of the series: Part two - The Compilation Part three - Taking its First Breath   Now that the early bits of WinRT – the new Windows 8 development platform are out, we (at Telerik) are eager to explore this whole new world that awaits us - the opportunities it offers and the challenges to be faced. I would like to elaborate a bit more on how we feel about this new world. We are strong believers that a programming language is only a tool used...

The Q2 2011 SP1 release is already out and it includes many improvements and fixes for the existing controls promised to our customers, however, it also includes a brand new component that is in the beta stage - RadBulletGraph. The bullet graph is a component for data visualization that succinctly and accurately visualizes a comparison between different data in a quantitative and qualitative manner. A full specification of the bullet graph component can be found here. The great thing about the bullet graph is that it takes the linear subset of the gauges and uses it so that the information is visualized clearly and concisely...

In the early days of Silverlight binding support for advanced dynamic scenarios was very limited (remember my DataTable?). Since then, however, the platform has evolved greatly – so did our tools!   Dynamic code 2009 style:   Dynamic code 2011 style:   Now to bind RadGridView to some dynamic data you just need ObservableCollection<dynamic>:   RadGridView will auto-generate columns automatically using your DynamicObject GetDynamicMemberNames() implementation and will call your TryGetMember/TrySetMember (TryGetIndex/TrySetIndex in case of indexer binding) methods when needed.   To illustrate this I’ve made small example project (similar to this blog post) demonstrating...

I fully admit it: I’m extraordinarily biased to having developers and testers co-located in the same room, or even at the same desk. I’ve seen the great collaboration that ensues as testers and devs bring their different skillsets, experience, and views together while working together on project tasks. While I’m biased in that direction, I’ve also led and been a part of teams working in different states and on different sides of the globe—and we were highly successful at our efforts thanks to working hard at establishing a great collaborative environment. Collaboration isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a central pillar ...
