    Saving a few lines of code. Part I - Infinite loops.

    Inspired by Scott Hanselman's quest to read source code to be a better developer I decided to start a series of blog posts and write about anything which comes to my mind in the everyday encountering with THE code here at Telerik. As Scott is doing a great job with his quest I would rather focus on topics in which the distinction between right and wrong is not clear enough. I'm not talking about starting flame wars but rather talking about all the aspects and the different pros and cons of each approach. Today's topic will be about infinite loops and mostly about infinite...

    Export and Printing RadGridView using Telerik Reporting

    Hi everyone, by means of introduction my name is Martin Vassilev and I am a support officer with the Windows Forms team here at Telerik. As of late, we noticed increased interest towards RadGridView data export capabilities. What we have always told our customers is that the RadGridView will have only basic Microsoft Excel export capability, until we are able to implement a commercial grade format converter here at Telerik. However, that requires quite some time, and customers can’t wait right? What was needed was a quick, easy, stable way of exporting RadGridView content to formats such as RTF, PDF and...

    Web components styling tests automation, cross-browser solution

    It’s been quite some time since my last post concerning the RadControls automation tests developed with Selenium. We still have a lot to share about our Selenium adventure, which could help those, interested in similar solutions. First of all, I believe you are unable to completely verify the visual appearance of your Web application via automated tests. There is no way you can skip the manual check if the app “looks” good and has no visual glitches anywhere. Still, the client-side styling tests automation can be considered to be the first step for the necessary web page appearance verification. I ...

    Bug-tracker conversion tool: Gemini -> TFS

    Our migration to Team Foundation Server started a couple of months ago with the Source Control adoption. Another step that we performed was to transfer our Countersoft's Gemini bug-tracker projects to TFS Issue Tracking System. I've been searching around for a tool that would perform the job automagically ;-) and found nothing but other inquiries on the subject without answers. So, I'm posting the code, which helped us migrate our projects. Hopefully someone else can benefit from it too and I can save some of your time up.   Well, there is no rocket science here, but the code, ...

    Visual Studio 2008 RTM is here and we have plenty of new things in RadControls for ASP.NET

    As all of you are now aware that Visual Studio 2008 RTM has shipped I would shed more light on how this affects RadControls for ASP.NET in terms of new features and roadmap. Needless to say, Visual Studio 2008 and ASP.NET 3.5 release is a key milestone for Telerik and we will make sure all customer requirements are covered with the new features of the IDE and framework. We have been testing RadControls compatibility with Visual Studio 2008 (codenamed "Orcas") since early builds of the IDE and the community is happy to see that RadControls are mostly working as expected ...
