Download ODataSample (C# VS2010) - 167KB Download ODataSample (VB VS2010) - 180KB The Open Data Protocol, also known as OData recently has gained a lot of popularity. That is why we decided to demonstrate how to connect and consume an existing OData feed from Telerik Reporting with the help of WCF Data Services. For the sake of this example we will connect to the Northwind sample database exposed as an OData service with the following root URL: http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc. Let's start by adding a service reference to the Northwind data service to our report class library - we use the above service URL for this purpose: Visual Studio creates a reference to the service...
A bit tired this morning, we're chilling with the remaining swag at our lunch table and about to wrap up. But we just got interrupted as one of the speakers is conducting his session in the lunch room. Eric from EMC has decided to speak to the group about their tweets acknowledging that everyone is sick of Agile talk and wants something new. He's asked everyone who has an issue to come up and announce their problems (not personal ;)) and seek out a group to provide advice. Actually a very impressive conference move. They also asked everyone to play musical chairs. Nicely done, very Agile of...
The new Test Scheduling and Remote Execution feature we added with the Q3 release is a powerful addition to our Automated Testing Tools offering. The feature pushes WebUI Test Studio into multi-machine execution and enables customers to leverage the physical & virtualized environments to schedule and execute test runs. You can also collect results across this distributed environment into a centralized repository. This feature makes WebUI more appealing to large enterprises with larger test labs and machine pools. With this blog post I’m sharing all the basics of the feature in the form of FAQ. In addition I will also ...
One of the major goals for our AJAX RadEditor control is to provide an accessible content creation experience. For us, this task is divided into two major categories - having an accessible editor UI and helping the end user produce accessible content. With the Q3 2010 release, we made improvements to both and I want to share the results with you. The first major improvement is the new AccessibleRadEditor control. It is a stripped down version of the full featured RadEditor and has a simpler toolbar to allow easy navigation using only the keyboard. All tools have assigned shortcuts and even the...

It’s hard to believe its mid-November, a time to start to pack away summer cloths, get ready for winter, and take a look at the next release of Telerik TeamPulse!! The Q3 2010 release of TeamPulse marks our second major release of the product. Our goal for this release was to enhance the flow of context between team members and expand breadth of the software development lifecycle that we support. Start with an Idea Every great piece of software begins with an idea – some abstract representation of a problem and an approach to address that problem. TeamPulse now allows ...
As most of you already know (at least those that have been using Mobile Safari lately), scrolling containers support in Mobile Safari is kind of limited. They are rendered with overflow: hidden and with no scrollbars and can only be scrolled with a two finger swipe gesture. Since several of our controls happen to use such scrollbars for scrolling, we set out to create a small extender that can take care of this issue more or less gracefully. Meet the TouchScrollExtender The TouchScrollExtender is a small self-sustained client-only control that depends only on core.js and the built-in jQuery in RadControls for ASP.NET...
With Q3 2010 we introduced some cool UI additions to RadRichTextBox, including SelectionMiniToolBar and ContextMenu. SelectionMiniToolBar SelectionMiniToolBar is a floating toolbar that appears next to the current position after making a selection with the mouse in the document. It contains some useful commands for formatting text: As RadRichTextBox loads the default SelectionMiniToolBar using MEF, it can be completely replaced with a custom one. This can be done as easy as with the other RadRichTextBox dialogs by implementing the ISelectionMiniToolBar interface and marking the class that implements it with the CustomSelectionMiniToolBarAttribute attribute. The technique was also described in greater details in this blog...
The first day of the ALM Summit 2010 was great. We've met a lot of talented leaders in the industry and many friendly people. Approximately 200 folks made it here to the MS Redmond campus today. Our Hawaiian & Agilista shirts definitely stand out in the crowd. Many of the attendees are current Telerik users and its great to have a chance to promote our new products to them. The atmosphere is relaxed with lots of dynamic conversations flowing. Attendees are mostly project or development leaders and are looking for help in dealing with their development headaches. TeamPulse is definitely on their radar to assist, especially now with the...
With Q3 2010 release the WebForms team adds one more to the family of demos built to show you best practices with RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. Let me introduce you the "Rent a Car" sample application: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/carrental/ Take a look at and download it to see how to implement new functional features around RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX and how easy is to integrate them with Telerik OpenAccess ORM. Those of you who are familiar with our skins will notice that the skin used is not a built-in. The goal was to see the custom skinning approach with our controls. In our previous...
