Getting Started With LightSwitch and OpenAccess
Over the next few blogs we will look at working with LightSwitch and OpenAccess, but first i would like to lay a little ground work. :) What is LightSwitch? LightSwitch is a new Microsoft tool enabling developers, and power users, to create multi-tier applications, quickly and easily. Those of you familiar with Microsoft Access will find it gives you even more power to create application that are easy to maintain, and easy to distribute. Since the applications made with LightSwitch are Silverlight based, they are easily deployed in browser (3-tier), out of browser(3-tier), or directly to the desktop(2-tier). What Do I Need?

Output Caching and Telerik Extensions for MVC
When we pushed out Telerik TV, we ran into an interesting style issue. We were using output caching on our index page to save the server a little work. However, sometimes when a user navigated to tv.telerik.com/home it would look like this: This problem would only manifest itself on the production server, and shockingly there were no errors! By looking at the source of the page we quickly realized that neither the StyleSheetRegistrar, nor the ScriptRegistrar were outputting anything at all. This made it clear that the Render method on the StyleSheetRegistrar / ScriptRegistrar was not firing, or something was causing them...September 16, 2010 -

5+ Ways to Reduce your .Xap Size
Being Silverlight developer means that we are also kind of web developers. From this point of view, we also have to think about the web traffic that our applications generate.

In this post I'll try to summarize the five ways to reduce the size of a xap that I've shared today with Sofia's Silverlight User Group.

Nesting Prism Regions using RadRibbonBar
This post is update to my first post about "Decouple RadRibbonBar with Composite Silverlight (Prism)" (Read More). Nesting Regions in Prism could sound weird to someone, but the demand for this is growing. Check this forum post for more info. As a result to this post I've decided to update my previous example project. I've started by marking the one of the RibbonTabs as a Region as well, giving it a name...September 02, 2010 -

Silverlight Recruiting Application #9 - Adding RadUpload (Part 2)
Yesterday we saw all the plumbing involved to lay a groundwork for RadUpload being used to add files to applicants. Today we actually dive into the code for getting RadUpload working in the MVVM application. The first step in this is deciding where to add the ability to upload files. Doing this within the main Applicants grid is nice (since we're already using the RowDetails presenter), but that'll clutter up the UI there as I want to switch that into a quick and easy overview of each applicant. So instead we're modifying the AddEditApplicantView to make it tab-based, providing one tab...August 27, 2010
