The main focus for the Q3 2009 release continues to be on optimizations in the overall performance and stability of the toolset, brisk and slicker theming, and improvements throughout the major controls.
So, it is our pleasure to announce the availability of Q3 BETA for
RadControls for WinForms. Full information on the beta you will find in our Beta Lab and in the Release Notes. The downloads are now available in your account (or free trials):

Hey everyone, start your morning off right by heading to your client account and downloading the new beta releases for RadControls for WPF and RadControls for Silverlight.

In today’s post we are going to discuss a topic which is known to be fairly complex in most cases but it is relevantly easy to be achieved with Telerik OpenAccess ORM. Let us consider the following scenario: your company decides to move your data access from one database server to another. So you have your database in a MSSQL Server instance and want to migrate to MySql. The schema is the same on both servers but the data resides inside the MSSQL Server instance. What follows is the easiest way to move all the data from the MSSQL server database to...
Recent question that popped up from an user was how to create a table, where the table grows horizontally instead of vertically. This is easy as one, two, three when using our Table report item. I start off using the crosstab item as initial template for this task. As the table would be growing "in columns" instead of "in rows", we do not need a row group so we delete it. Then bind the crosstab to a sample business object making sure we've added as many static rows as we need. Next step in order to show all the data, we need to make sure that...
I’ve made small example on how to load on demand RadGridView hierarchy child data using MVVM and RIA service: Using partial classes you can extend very easily generated code with desired load on demand logic: public partial class Customer
{
bool ordersLoaded = false;
public IEnumerable<Order> CustomerOrders
{
get
{

The Q3 2009 release comes packed with goodies and we hope you'll enjoy the new additions to your toolbox. And it's fast too. For starters, a number of micro-optimizations on the client-side has resulted in less boilerplate code. But the big breakthrough comes on the server-side where you can expect improvements of up to 30%, depending on your scenario. So, how did we manage to do it? By deleting code, of course. Well, not just any code, but a reflection-intensive piece that was seeing a lot of use. Just don't spend too much time Reflecting.

Welcome to the sixth tutorial in my series of tutorials about the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit. This week, we will learn how to use the RadTreeView UIExtensionSite. I will be using a TCEK enabled Smart Client Application as the base for this tutorial. I’ve also create a simple module called the Settings module that I will use in this tutorial. Adding the RadTreeView UIExtensionSite To add the RadTreeView UIExtensionSite, the first step you will need to take is to simply drag a RadTreeView onto the ShellLayoutView.cs form. Inside the code-behind, add a property to the RadTreeView so you can access ...
I am happy to announce a few new features coming in Q3 2009, related to text formatting. As you know, a couple of releases ago we added a feature called Html-like text formatting to our controls: Although we supported a very limited and basic set of HTML tags, our clients were happy with having the option to format text via HTML. We received a great deal of feedback on this feature, including many requests to support more HTML tags. Q3 2009 (the beta is coming out this week), comes with support for new tags in our parsing and rendering engine. The...
The secondary axes feature has been one of the most frequently requested over the time by our customers and also one of the major new development tasks that found place in our Q3.2009 schedule. Now I’m glad to announce that the wait is near its end. Our development team did their best to not only make it happen but to make it happen in time for the Q3.2009 beta 2 release(later this week). Thus, the most enthusiastic amongst you, will have the chance to grab this early release and play around with this new stuff. Let us have a brief...
