Did you know that there over 25 localized versions of RadSpell's dictionaries (30, to be exact)? Did you know there are over 10 localizations of RadEditor? When you're building a global site, you often need to support a number of languages, and thanks to Telerik's outstanding community, we are able to offer a huge range of localizations for the RadControls- especially those controls which depend heavily on localized strings. Not all controls require localizations- a RadSlider or ColorPicker, for example, communicate their UI without any built-in strings. Even controls like RadGrid don't have much need for localization. Other controls- like...

However, once I read the article I started thinking what it would...

As a component vendor we need to be extra cautious about the quality of the code we ship. Design, presentation, performance etc. are all very important for us. One item that is often overlooked in the .NET community is memory leaks. It is a quite a precarious issue, because most people believe that in the managed world it is not possible to have a memory leak. Well, if you thought so you are in for a surprise. The idea of the blog post is not to explain what memory leaks are, how the garbage collector works and so on. These things...

If you have a need for calendaring capabilities in your WPF application, look no further.  The RadScheduler brings you a number of capabilities with minimal effort.  I am going to discuss some of the core features that you get with the RadScheduler for WPF without implementing any code.  I thought a quick preview of what the control offers out of the box, might give you some ideas of how you leverage it in your applications.  To get started create a new WPF application and drop a RadScheduler onto the Window. <Window x:Class="WPFRadSchedule.Window1"      xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"      xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"      Title="Window1" Height="600" Width="800           " xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation">       <Grid>          <telerik:RadScheduler Margin="12" Name="radScheduler1" />      </Grid>  </Window>   The XAML above is a preview of what I...
