    Read only classes and fields

    If a table or a view is mapped where the user does not have the rights to change data, it is not helpful that the exception is thrown during commit. Sometimes it is hard to find the place where the write access is done. Those exceptions can now be enforced to be thrown during the write operation itself. The attribute can be set at class level but the wizard does not contain it. In the Q2 release you have to do it by hand, the Q2 Sp1 will contain the UI. The settings on class level are: "readwrite": The default, everything is...

    Visual Style Builder for ASP.NET AJAX: A Heavy Update

    Too much stuff! Must click little link: to the Style Builder! What's new? RadMenu, RadComboBox and RadInput get their share of styling goodness updated to the new-and-shiny 2009.Q2 release (featuring the real mode of RadColorPicker) the sought-after "base color" in Colorization is available I hope that you will like the UI. We revised it a few times before settling for this. The position of the "Apply" button was way off into nowhere (and, honestly speaking, it still is in the advanced edit). A note about colorization While the 'colorize' mode is indeed more useful (and probably sufficient in most scenarios), the old 'shift colors' algorithm has its...

    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. I will talk about a couple of the RadGrid sometimes easily overlooked and at the same time unique features - item selection and keyboard navigation. With the new Q2 2009 release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX there are a lot of improvements in both directions: enhanced multi row selection using Ctrl and/or Shift keys firing predefined RadGrid command on key events:  Edit when Enter key is pressed Update/PerformInsert command on Enter key press when current focused control is...
