It is a tool that is available free for the community. It allows you to compare two Microsoft code named “M” files, see a visual diff, and then merge the results. (M is the code name for a new data modeling language from Microsoft.) Telerik has expanded the tool to allow comparison of items in the SQL Server “Repository” and then do the same visualdiff and them merge the schema. Developers who have been playing with the M language and repository will find it very useful to have a tool that will allow comparisons and migrations, since the requirements...

Last week we updated the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit for RadControls for WinForms on CodePlex with the mighty Q3 2009 versions of our WinForms tools. A few compatibility issues were resolved with this update as well. If you are using the WinForms CAB kit, just visit http://telerikcab.codeplex.com/ to download the latest update. Enjoy!...

A common question that we received from our customers regarding our RadPanel control was whether the scrollbars can be customized so that they are consistent with the current theme used in the application. Since RadPanel supports the standard Windows Forms scrolling behavior and the customization of the standard scrollbars is basically impossible, we decided, by using some nice trickery, to introduce a new control that provides the RadPanel functionality and also supports theming of the scrollbars. Here is a picture of what we achieved:     In a nutshell, the RadScrollablePanel control is composed of two RadScrollBars and a panel that represents the container for the controls added....

For the Q3 2009 release, we have added a few important new features to the RadDock. The first of these features is the ability to set the tab strip alignment and/or visibility on DocumentTabStrip and ToolTabStrip instances. The second feature we have added is the ability to implement your own manual drag and drop behavior. Tab Alignment and Visibility When working with ToolTabStrips and DocumentTabStrips in the Q3 release, you will notice that we have added two new properties. The first of these properties, TabStripAlignment, allows you to set the alignment of tabs within their parent TabStrip. The second of these properties, TabStripVisible, ...

Whenever Telerik puts something up on Telerik Labs we hope that some early adopters will try it out and give us feedback. We had an amazing demand for the Telerik OpenAccess WCF wizard and got tons of feedback. The most overwhelming piece of feedback is the name of the wizard: so as of this CTP, the wizard is now renamed the Telerik Data Services Wizard. We made some key enhancements in this build for usability. The big thing is that you no longer have to...
