    Being new to Silverlight

    Keeping track of new technology is quite a tedious job.  In fact, if you try to catch up with all hot trends in software development you probably will end up having a job as a full time blog reader. In contrast, most software developers are always anxious about stretching their fingers on some actual coding. But the beginning is always the hardest part, even more if you are not patient enough or haven’t had time to watch videos and spent hours reading tutorials. In case you are coming from a different programming background, you are certainly used to specific methods...

    Comparing Generic Types

        Today I was dealing with the problem of comparing generic types in Silverlight.

    Telerik Reporting Q2 2008 SP2 is now live

    Our continuous commitment to provide prompt fixes and excellent support for our products has resulted in a second Service Pack of Telerik Reporting. While smaller than the first one, it still contains important bug fixes and improvements. Here is a summary of what has been fixed: Report parameters are not displayed when Session State mode in SQLServer or StateServer. Sometimes font-size is not set correctly in HTML rendering. WinViewer.ToolbarVisible is not serialized correctly at design-time when the viewer is in a hidden container. Adding Dock or Anchor first and then setting KeepTogether does not warn of incompatibility. It simply crashes the...
