RadContextMenu for WP7 - Q3 2011
The Q3 release is fast approaching and we are happy to announce that our control suite for Windows Phone will be updated with the addition of RadContextMenu. Our menu will provide a similar experience to the native OS context menu but will also provide a few extra goods that you won't find in other competitors. For example users will have an easy way of specifying which element should pop out when the context menu is set on a list box for example. The menu is set on the listbox itself, but the individual list box items will pop out when the... -

New features in Q3 2011 – Stored Procedure Editor
In our previous blog regarding the new Telerik OpenAccess ORM features about to be released in Q3 2011, we have presented to you our OpenAccessLinqDataSource. We will continue by showing you our new product enhancement for using stored procedures in an easier and straightforward way. Supporting stored procedures is nothing new for OpenAccess ORM – you can already execute them through our ADO API. However, in order to do that you needed to instantiate the parameters or commands first and then call the appropriate method of OpenAccessContext. Naturally, in these cases the most common solution is to write an additional method for each stored procedure, encapsulating all... -

In a world where the word ‘touch’ became something usual rather than something exceptional, we understand that you will surely need to take your Windows Forms application to the next level.

One step in this direction is the new RadPanorama control which we discussed in a previous blog. The second step which... -

Separate Skin Assembly in RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX with Q3'11
Probably all of us have identified at some point the following trend in software development — newer version usually means bigger assemblies. Sure, some of the new stuff is features that we use on a daily basis; but some of the new stuff is just eye candy that we don't always use. In fact, wouldn't it be nice if we could get just the software with the default looks; get the job done then and, if needed, add that sweet UI candy to it later? And in order to tackle this problem — maintain a reasonable file size of the main Telerik... -
