Performance Improvements in RadSlider
As Miro mentioned in his last post, with the upcoming 2011 Q1 Beta, we will release a new and improved version of RadSlider. A lot new features are being added and many of the existing hot spots were addressed along the way. One of them - the performance hit when RadSlider has to re-render its ticks. I took the liberty to compare the impact of RadSlider on an application before and after we made the improvements. Scenario: Every second, for 60 seconds, generate a new ViewModel and set it as DataContext to RadSlider. Goal: See how many times the LayoutUpdated event will...April 22, 2011 -

Telerik Data Virtualization, WCF RIA Services and Visual Studio Async CTP
Last week (MIX 2011), Microsoft released the second Visual Studio Async CTP and I’ve decided to give it a try and implement one of my blog posts related to our Silverlight Data Virtualization with WCF RIA Services. To do this I’ve made two extension methods for DomainContext: LoadAsync<T>() and CountAsync<T>(). The first method will return the entities from a EntityQuery<T> and the second will return asynchronously count for the specified query. And here is the result: As you can see the only hardcoded value here is LoadSize for the virtual collection and everything else is retrieved and applied asynchronously using...April 18, 2011 -

What the application actually does is up to you of course, but now that you’ve finished developing everything you want to take it to the next level; you want to deploy! Launching to the cloud So your project is ready to rock and you’re eager to brag to everyone that...April 15, 2011 -
Web ASP.NET MVC
Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC in Azure – Part 1, Building your Application
As some of you are (hopefully) aware of, our RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX work flawlessly on Windows Azure. We actually have a short blog series available here on our blogs that go through the necessary steps for creating an application (Part 1) and later deploying it (Part 2) to Windows Azure. However, do our ASP.NET MVC components work on this platform? The answer is: yes! (Note the usage of ‘!’, that’s how exciting it is!). The best thing is that the process is no more complicated than what you have to do for our RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. Note Since most of...April 14, 2011 -
Web ASP.NET AJAX
Using the Resize and Drag extender built into the ASP.NET AJAX controls
The development for both desktop and mobile browsers has always been a difficult task, often an impossible one. To ease the process, we have prepared a couple of extenders, thus delivering to the developers unified methods to implement solutions for the mobile web platforms. In addition to the previously introduced TouchScrollExtender in Q3 2010, we present to you another member of the family. The ResizeExtender is a small client-side only control that enables resize and drag functionality on an HTML element in all browsers regardless if they are desktop or mobile (except the browsers that lack the needed desktop or touch events...April 14, 2011
