    WebUI Test Studio Officially Released!

    The official release of Telerik WebUI Test Studio is finally out! The Q1 2009 bits were uploaded last Thursday, March 12. For those who are interested in the product and especially the ones that downloaded the BETA test studio, I’d like to call your attention to the new features since the Beta update announced two weeks ago. First of all, the RadControls translators are updated to reflect the latest changes in the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX suite.

    Telerik Reporting: Connecting to Stored Procedures

    I’ve blogged in the past about the many ways you can connect your reports to data. Because the developers who build Telerik’s Reporting Tool wanted to make it as flexible as possible, they designed it to have the ability to bind to any object that implements one of the four supported interfaces: IEnumerable, IListSource, ITypedList, and IDbDataAdapter. What does this mean for you? No matter where your data comes from – plain SQL queries, stored procedures, web services, etc – you can bind it to a Telerik report. Okay, I realize that showing an example is much more effective than just talking...

    New Release Q1 2009 - RadControls for WinForms

    This week the latest version of the RadControls for WinForms were released by Telerik.  This release features some important changes that you will want to check out.  The release notes provide a full list of all the changes, but I wanted to point out some key features. Versioning While this is not a functional change it is very important to note that this release changes how versioning is handled.  In the past, assemblies were version based (v8.2.0.0). Beginning with the Q1 2009 release, you will notice that assemblies will be release based (v2009.1) and will include the release date as well (v2009.1.Y.Mdd). ...

    Working with WCF Web Services in Silverlight, a headache/solution approach

    So if you’re like me, you’re on board with Silverlight and looking to get the most out of your RIA development.  I’ve taken all the advice offered for creating Silverlight apps with WCF services- this video by Tim Heuer has been indispensable, but now we can create a Silverlight Enabled WCF service to avoid the modifications in web.config. When working on an application recently, I was somewhat confused by the error I received after deploying to my local friendly IIS server on the network: HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2009 20:37:29 GMT Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET X-AspNet-Version: 2.0.50727 Cache-Control: private Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 734   Content-Length:...
