    Telerik Sets a New Era in Automated Web Testing

    Yes, Telerik is adding a new product to its portfolio! Maybe you are already aware of that thanks to the numerous blog posts and comments in the press.

    Visual Studio 2008: Where is the new ASP.NET Ajax-Enabled Web Site template?

    UPDATE: Visual Studio 2010 does not have the Ajax-Enabled Web Site template as well.

This is the option that you often choose in the add New Web Site dialog: Selecting this template gives you two benefits: 1. Your web.config file is automatically configured to use ASP.NET Ajax so you do not have to do anything manually. 2. The default...

    Telerik on Windows 7 Beta – The Complete Overview

    For those of you that follow my TelerikWatch blog, you know that I recently made the jump to Windows 7 on my primary workstation (build 7000, to be exact). I’ve spent the weekend installing, tweaking, and testing the latest iteration of Windows, and like Vassil before me, my impressions are generally positive. Microsoft has definitely worked hard to ensure the compatibility nightmares of the XP to Vista jump are not repeated with Windows 6.1 7. I’m confident I’ll be able to use Windows 7- even in beta form- reliably as my full-time OS from this point forward. As far as Telerik is...

    Telerik announces the RadToolBar for Silverlight.

    With the upcoming Q1 release Telerik will include an official version of the RadToolBar control in the RadControls for Silverlight bundle. RadToolBar will mimic the functionalities and behavior of the VS toolbar with its Strip and Overflow areas.  All the items in the toolbar will jump between the strip and the overflow depending on the toolbar’s size. In addition, the developer will be able to stick items into one of these areas using a single property  - OverflowMode. RadToolBar will also support Style Selector for item containers. We pre-defined styles for many of the regular controls – button, textbox , combobox and expander. Along with...

    Announcing RadEditor for Silverlight CTP

    We are very excited  to announce that our Q1 release will feature a CTP edition of Telerik RadEditor for Silverlight. This initial version will support the most basic set of features but you can rest assured that there is a lot more cooking. RadEditor integrates three of our new controls for Silverlight – RadToolbar, RadToobarTray and RadColorPicker. The first two will give you fine-grained control over the positioning of the elements you choose to insert in your editor. The customizable RadColorPicker is used for choosing font and highlight colors and offers a well-known tool to end-users. Below you can find a non-exhaustive list of the initially supported...
