    Isolating a Problem in a Sample Project

    If you have contacted Telerik support before, chances are that you have been asked to send us a sample project. The time invested in isolating a problem before opening a ticket is well paid off. Such tickets require less time for investigation and are usually closed with only one or two replies. In almost all cases the problem can be easily isolated by following a few simple guidelines. Here they are.

    Working with WCF Web Services in Silverlight, a headache/solution approach

    So if you’re like me, you’re on board with Silverlight and looking to get the most out of your RIA development.  I’ve taken all the advice offered for creating Silverlight apps with WCF services- this video by Tim Heuer has been indispensable, but now we can create a Silverlight Enabled WCF service to avoid the modifications in web.config.

Unfortunately, developers (like me) don’t want their productivity to suffer while we all wait for a fix from Microsoft. So here are a couple of steps...

    WPF: Debugging Expression Blend Exceptions with Visual Studio

     Although Expression Blend and Visual Studio can work on the same solution / project files, they remain two separate IDEs and it is not uncommon for certain functionality to work correctly in the Visual Studio design-time environment and throw an error in the Expression Blend one. The Blend error output does not always help much with identifying the reason for the erroneous behavior:    This clearly does not give us enough information to track the problem down. Fortunately there is an easier way to detect the problem instead of wandering around the code in a manual “debugging” session – the Visual Studio...
