    Do you manage your software development through TFS? Telerik just released couple of free TFS tools for you

Inspired by agile development best practices, TFS Work Item Manager and TFS Project Dashboard have also been extensively used internally at Telerik for over six months with great results.

    Code is king or... a new product from Telerik?! Oh, what could it be?

    RadFormDecorator is Getting Even More CSS3

    A couple of versions ago, WebKit implemented their own vendor-specific property for the CSS3 appearance. It is called -khtml-appearance. According to the specifications of the World Wide Web Consortium: “CSS appearance sets 'appearance' to the specified value and the other properties to their appropriate system value.  'normal' resets 'appearance' to 'normal' and the others to 'inherit'. The 'appearance' property does not affect the specified or computed values of any other properties.” A little bit of vague explanation, however it is not the point of my blog post.

    It is official – Telerik RadControls for Silverlight3 are here with the latest 2009 Q2 SP1 release.
