    Getting Touch Support in Your ASP.NET AJAX Apps Now

    We here at Telerik always strive to help you deliver applications leveraging the latest and greatest industry trends from the moment that they are released. With touch-enabled devices gaining more popularity by each passing day, we surely don’t want you to miss out on the opportunity to build applications leveraging this exciting technology. Android, iOS and now even Windows 8 devices – they all use touch as their primary way of interaction. Some of you might even be reading this very post with one of these devices!

    Dynamic binding for your Silverlight applications

    In the early days of Silverlight binding support for advanced dynamic scenarios was very limited (remember my DataTable?). Since then, however, the platform has evolved greatly – so did our tools!   Dynamic code 2009 style:   Dynamic code 2011 style:   Now to bind RadGridView to some dynamic data you just need ObservableCollection<dynamic>:   RadGridView will auto-generate columns automatically using your DynamicObject GetDynamicMemberNames() implementation and will call your TryGetMember/TrySetMember (TryGetIndex/TrySetIndex in case of indexer binding) methods when needed.   To illustrate this I’ve made small example project (similar to this blog post) demonstrating...

    Silverlight is dead. F****** dead

OK…you expected me to say that, and you’re thinking, “this guy is just trying to sell me Silverlight tools and save his business.” I will not argue…you’re almost right. There’s one small correction to be made - we are not trying to save our business. :) Rather, we are hard at work on all fronts, be it HTML5 or Win8, so it doesn’t make a difference for us what technology you’ll ultimately choose as we have all bases covered. As I’ve said many times, use whatever makes most sense for your business. That said, I...
