I recently published a blog post series on the Silverlight Show site regarding Internationalization/Globalization in Silverlight. As a follow up to this series, I would like to address a couple of Telerik-specific approaches to this topic. One thing to note is that the source code that I have attached above is written in Silverlight 4, using VisualStudio 2010 Beta 2, so if you are developing with Silverlight 3 you could copy the code into a Silverlight 3 solution.  In part 5 of the Silverlight Show series I provided a step-by-step example of how to set up an internationalized version of a...

For anyone who tuned into part 1 of this series, there was an interesting comment from Ben (one of the Telerik MVPs who also shows up quite often with intelligent commentary in a variety of locations) about the idea of using Prism, MVVM, and WCF RIA together in their current state.  This actually fell in line with a number of other conversations I have had with developers over the last few weeks and I realized something very important- he's quite right about the state of things.  Much like 7 is the magic number for Windows, 4 is going to be the magic...

As in any business, with prosperity comes the need to bring in more people to handle the workload.  Telerik is no stranger to that, but here in the US office this has previously been a process heavy with Excel files, carefully tagging emails in Outlook, and relying on the Outlook calendar to ensure that interviews and the like are all in synch.  This worked when the US office was working out of someone's house a few years back, but with two offices, multiple brand new and open positions, and more on the way, we realized we'd need to figure out some...

I must admit that coming up with a meaningful and relatively short title was really hard this time. Anyway, here is the scenario: You have a page layout with Grid panel with several cells and one of the cells is occupied by a RadChart control instance. Your requirements indicate that the grid layout should be flexible so you have placed several grid splitters in your panel as well. Soon enough, one of your QAs decides to play around with the GridSplitter and notices that the application slows down and becomes irresponsive (and can even crash) when the splitter is dragged around...

As we already announced in our public Roadmap, we mostly dedicated our efforts in Q1 2010 on improvements in our current offering. We have been working in several major directions: Performance, enhancements in the existing themes and we continued our Silverlight 4 development by launching weekly builds with our Silverlight 4 assemblies, thus tightly follow the Microsoft release schedule. Along with our major efforts for improvements we also worked on developing several new controls:: Transition for Silverlight and WPF Book and Map for WPF   Other major additions that will be included in Q1 2010 and are featured in this Beta release are key new...
