    Spinning RadCarousel

    This is my first post, and by obligation I have to say a few words as an introduction. I’m Mihail Valkov, and I have been working on component development at Telerik for several years. I know my name comes a bit mouthful for many of you, so I'll just use Mike for short. I'm the guy behind some of our Windows Forms components and part of the team that created the great TPF. I am excited of the many good things to come in our WinForms offering in the near future and I am determined to keep you posted about...

    RadCarousel for WinForms - Even More Bang for your Buck

    Introducing the RadCarousel component into our suite can be compared to what the Big Bang was to the Universe in the early days. We’ve seen it all - from feature requests straight after its initial release, to statements it is worth as much as the entire suite. A few words of introduction - the RadCarousel animates a number of alternatives to choose from in a visually appealing way. RadCarousel animates the location, opacity and scale of its items. Items can be moved along any path described by a Bezier curve or an ellipse. These basic capabilities allow the control to be...

I felt the urge to disclose it to you, and hope that you will like it. the telePhone prototype On second thought, this initial draft looks good enough, so we might switch to hardware production. Don't be evil, we were first! Maybe we could even go 3G... Ok now, getting serious - you could use this sort of menu for navigating when there is a large hierarchy in the site navigation (or, to be more specific, a hierarchy that has a wide tree). Currently, no...

    A Simple Introduction...

    Howdy! My name is Kevin Babcock and I’m the greenest Technical Evangelist on the Telerik team. I’m excited to have joined forces with the Telerik boys (and girls) and even more excited to talk to .NET developers about the great set of tools we provide. But don’t think that’s all this blog is about. While I plan on providing some in-depth coverage of the Telerik tools and control suites, I also plan to dive deep into the heart of .NET and talk about some of the latest and greatest bits that Microsoft has released over the wire, the latest tips and tricks in...

    Telerik’s “Online Store” demo based on RadControls for Silverlight 2 Beta 2

    Lately, we have been preparing a sample application showing the usage of our RadControls for Silverlight 2 in a real life scenario.  Finally, we are able to make this application public and let you experience the flexibility of our controls. We have just uploaded the demo at: SnowBoard Online Store You can also access the example from our RadControls for Silverlight - Overview page by clicking on the banner residing in the bottom-right corner. We tried to show all the flexibility and interoperability between our controls by combining them into a fully-functional and flashy online store for snowboards. This is the place to thank to...
