Release

Since Q1 2011 and the newest release of the RadMap several changes were made to the control. Presently it is possible to specify several tile providers that will be displayed one over the other through the RadMap.Providers property. If your Map sources have tile size different from the default one (256x256) then all these sources must use the same tile size. For example if you want to have a satellite source with tile size 300x300 and a road source, the last one must use this tile size as well. If your map source uses a tile size different from the...

One of the greatest new features in Telerik Reporting Q1 2011 is the PowerPoint Presentation Rendering Extension, which produces a PowerPoint Presentation file from any Telerik report. The new rendering extension is part of the newly introduced support for the Office Open XML standard which meets “the new workplace challenges that include easily moving data between disparate applications, and allowing users to glean business insight from that data."

RadControls for WPF, 2011.Q1 The most important controls in RadScheduleView are the GroupHeaders, AppointmentItems and TimeRulerItems. While the AppointmentItems does not vary much RadScheduleView introduces several different uses of the GroupHeaders and TimeRulerItems.

For example you can change the time string formats in both the GroupHeaders...

We were eagerly awaiting the Q1 release to demonstrate you the new cleaner and more flexible API that makes the work with RadTreeView fun. We also wanted to tell you something more about the benefits that come with the new data engine. Now that Q1 2011 is public and the improved RadTreeView is a fact, I would like to introduce the enhancements which we implemented during the last few months.   The new data engine that we use in RadTreeView is actually our generic data layer used in RadGridView and other controls such as RadListControl and RadDropDownList. This allowed us to add...

Right after the official launch of the new major version of the FireFox browser (you can download it from here) I asked our web teams to test the Telerik AJAX and MVC components against the latest version of FireFox. And guess what? Both suites support FireFox 4 and no modifications are needed! This is an acknowledgement that you can develop sites with our Q1 2011 AJAX and MVC bundles and be content when running them in FireFox 4. Pretty convenient, yeah?
