    Silverlight Chart in 3D

    I might be a little late with blogging on the 3-dimensional capabilities of our Silverlight Chart, but you know what people say: better late than never. So, for those of you who did not get the chance to take a look, here is direct link to our online examples: http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#Chart/Gallery3D/Bar   Notice that the Flexible API example now has a checkbox “3D” that switches to Silverlight 3D (as in the WPF counterpart). If you already have experience with our Silverlight 2D charts, you will notice the common API, now available for the 3D chart as well.   Here are some screenshots:   The available Silverlight 3D chart types...

    Are you mouse-bored?

    Hi all, First of all let me introduce myself - my name is Nikolay Rusev and I am developer at one of Telerik's ASP.NET teams.

    Using Object Container to transport persistent objects between multiple pages

    We have talked already what are the best ways to handle the object scope instance in stateless environments like the Web in previous blog posts. We will build up on this and demonstrate additional web techniques, starting with using the same persistent objects on different pages (state sharing). Who needs that? Well let me explain a rather simplified scenario (but a valid one) – web-based wizard. Wizards usually have a workflow, which is produced by connecting web pages in a meaningful way. Every page is responsible for gathering data and providing navigation to the previous and next pages. This means...

    Z-index demystified

    In this blog post I will try to explain how CSS z-index works and a how to avoid a few common mistakes. First of all the z-index is used to control the z-order of positioned HTML elements. Simply put it controls the stacking order of HTML elements. To set it set the "z-index" CSS attribute of your element to some integer value. Z-index works only for positioned elements. Positioned elements are elements whose "position" CSS attribute is set to "relative", "absolute" or "fixed". The default "position" is "static" which means that by default setting z-index has no effect. Z-index is NOT measured in...
