    Getting Started Video Series for RadTimeBar for Silverlight and WPF

    A week after the official release of RadTimeBar for Silverlight and WPF with the Q1 2011 SP1 release, we have some fresh new resources ready for you to watch to start getting the hang of working with RadTimeBar and integration with other RadControls. Last week I blogged about the Official Release of RadTimeBar, which included walking through some examples and some sample code.  But some of you would rather see it in action along with an expert voice on how this integration can take place - and we heard you!  We have just published three new videos up to Telerik TV...

    Official Release of RadTimeBar for Silverlight and WPF

    When we rolled out the Q1 2011 release, there was a surprise control that we included in the release as a Beta version – RadTimeBar.  This control is useful for scenarios where you require a birds-eye view of your time-based data, be it sales history, support volume, or any other statistic that you might want to track over a longer period of time. The real value in the RadTimeBar control, however, is in the integration scenarios that it offers with other controls from RadControls for Silverlight and WPF.  By utilizing data-centric controls like RadGridView and RadChart with the RadTimeBar, your “birds-eye view”...

    MVC3 and unobtrusive validation support with Grid for ASP.NET MVC

    As you may know, we just released our ASP.NET MVC extensions latest service pack. Beside the regular dose of fixes, this service release incorporates even better support of the official version of MVC3. One of those new MVC3 feature, which I want to bring to your attention, is the unobtrusive validation.   We all know how client validation from the previous version of MVC has worked; outputting a mass of JSON serialized validation rules. Although, this approach is still available, the newer one is far more pleasing. Enabled by default in the VS2010’s MVC3 project template, validation rules will be attached...

    OData support in RadGridView for Silverlight and WPF: The Netflix Catalog

    The Open Data Protocol – the other Microsoft data access strategy along with WCF RIA Services, did not gain as much as popularity as its RIA cousin (yet!). But here in Telerik we want to give you as much freedom and power as possible and this means making it extremely easy for our clients to access and manipulate their data in applications built with our components. Our RadDomainDataSource is coming soon, but is only one piece in the puzzle of enhanced data support in our controls – starting with RadControls for Silverlight and RadControls for WPF Q3 2010 it’s as simple as pie...
