A New Era in Application Development, Part I

Roughly speaking, we have had four “eras” in the computing industry, each era defined by the dominate platform at the time. The eras were: Mainframe Minicomputer Client-Server Web I believe that we are now entering a 5th era: the Device + Cloud era. Simply said, the Device + Cloud (D+C) era is defined by users having multiple devices and running thin applications that share data via the cloud on each of them. As your use of the devices goes up, you rely...

Our Strategy Has NOT Shifted – Telerik, HTML5 and Silverlight

Todd Anglin from our team posted a great blog entry yesterday. In it, he provides some interesting examination and commentary on Microsoft’s vision of the web, the birth of XAML technologies and the evolution of MS’s view on what the development experience for the web should be. Some of Todd’s main points are that We should not be terribly surprised by Microsoft’s swings in direction. The swings are driven by competitive pressure. HTML5+JS+CSS3 is a viable application development stack. You need good tooling for that (and he makes a gentle Kendo plug). The blog also received a number of interesting comments that made me think Todd was being...

Location Crosshair for Silverlight Chart

Hello everyone, This blog post will demonstrate how to add location crosshair for RadChart as well as location indicator (achieved by two TextBlock-s that track the current mouse location). To achieve the crosshair functionality you will add two custom gridlines to the ChartArea (each of them parallel to one of the axes). Also, you will need three events – MouseEnter, MouseLeave and MouseMove to track the mouse cursor position and “move” the gridlines across the plot area. By handling the MouseEnter and MouseLeave events you’ll change the visibility of the gridlines to Visible and Collapsed whenever the mouse cursor enters or leaves the...

Supporting a Dinosaur: Time to end IE6 support?

Like it or not (and, frankly, I’m not sure who likes it), IE6 is not yet 100% dead. Try as is it might, the web developer community and even Microsoft have failed to put this ancient, broken browser in the dust bin more than 10 years after its...

RadDataBoundListBox goes Mango in terms of scrolling performance (video included)

Back in the days when the first WP7 developer devices were distributed to all enthusiastic developers it became clear that the out-of-the-box scrolling performance delivered by the ListBox control from the toolbox is not satisfying at all. In fact, having some richer data templates and UI virtualization all in one made the control almost unusable which forced many developers to either give up UI virtualization or simply reduce the contents of their templates to boost the scrolling performance and thus improve the end-user experience. Although the Performance Team @ Microsoft have released some nice and helpful hints on how to...
