Astoria Data Services V2 Support in Telerik Data Services Wizard
The Astoria (aka ADO.NET Data Services) team released an updated .NET 3.5 SP1 version of Astoria the other day. There are tons of great new features like projections and my favorite, an inline row count. As I said on my blog yesterday, you have to alert Astoria that you want to use the new V2 features, by default Astoria 2.0 runs in Astoria 1.0 mode. (For backwards compatibility.) Telerik has enhanced the Data Services Wizard to support Astoria 2.0 (officially the “Data Services update for .NET 3.5 SP1” but I digress….) Now if you have the updated Data Services DLLs on your machine, you will have the option to create a... -

Gmail-like labels in RadGridView for WinForms? No problems!
As you probably know, RadControls for WinForms are built on top of our own Telerik Presentation Framework. This especially designed framework gives you the ability to extend the existing RadControls to a great level. Today, I am going to share with you how you can plug Gmail-like labels in RadGridView for WinForms (http://www.telerik.com/products/winforms/gridview.aspx). First of all we need the construction blocks for the labels. These blocks are represented by a very important element of our framework – the LightVisualElement. Several RadControls use this element extensively – RadTreeView, RadPanelBar, RadCalendar and RadGridView. The advantage of this element is that it incorporates all essential... -

Telerik Data Services Wizard Walk Through
Last week Telerik released the December CTP of the Data Services Wizard. I posted on my blog a video that shows how to get started, however, for those of you that like walkthroughs better, here is one using a WCF Data Services (Astoria) service. Getting Started: Mapping Data With OpenAccess To get started, first download and install the Data Services Wizard. After that, fire up Visual Studio and create a new Class library application named Telerik.DSW.Demo.Astoria.DAL. Run the OpenAccess “Enable Project to use ORM” wizard and then run the Reverse Mapping Wizard and map to your database. For this demo I mapped the Northwind database. Map as many tables as you... -

Telerik WinForms Tools get new slicker theme for Q3 2009
It was time to spend a little time to update the UI of the Tools included in the RadControls for WinForms suite. Not because we did not like the old design - quite the contrary - the green Telerik theme was quite impressive back in the day, when we introduced it: Rather, we felt that we need a more modern and minimalistic look, one that is more innovative, even corporate. As a result, as of Q3 2009 the WinForms Tools use the Office 2007 Black theme in out tools. Enjoy! Visual Style Builder The new skin in the Visual Style Builder emphasizes the details...
