    Another new Telerik product - conundrum

    We'll be releasing a new product for Q1 and will be posting a ton of details about it in the coming weeks. Before that happens though, I thought I'd give everyone a chance to win a very special, limited-edition Telerik T-shirt. All you need to do is to provide a correct answer to the riddle below (which can give you some clues about the new product but you still need to be a bit creative): "I am a product of art Your capabilities I'll test And put all worries to rest In Visual Studio I run And using me is fun" Enjoy! p.s. Please use real names that I can identify in our database so...

    Saving a few lines of code. Part V - Raising events.

    As you read the title of this post you may ask yourself - Hmmm, raising an event... wasn't that achievable with 1-2 lines of code? How smaller could it get, 0 lines of code? And you're almost right, to raise an event is not such a big deal. Supposing you have an event of type EventHandler. public event EventHandler Clicked;     Typically you have a virtual protected method which raises the event: protected virtual void OnClicked(EventArgs e)   {       if (Clicked != null)           Clicked(this, e);   }    Pretty simple unless you want to be thread safe (well... almost thread safe), then you should add one additional line: protected virtual void OnClicked(EventArgs e)...

    Reporting Q3 SP2 - a few small improvements for a service pack

    Hi guys! I just decided to bring you up to speed with our Q3 SP2 release. On top of the improvements we introduced with the new rendering engine in the Q3 version, we have prepared a few small surprises for the Q3 SP2 as well: optimization of image/pdf/rtf rendering. As you know, Q3 2008 came with new paging logic that introduced a superior and more sophisticated algorithm for calculation and inspection of pages before they are rendered. Now we take a step further and make it possible to decrease the rendering time with almost 30% when PageCount is...

    Telerik Reporting 101 Webinar Rescheduled for Tuesday, 2/3

    Once again, apologies to the 700+  people who've registered for the Telerik Reporting 101 webinar scheduled for last Thursday, January 29.
