    Gmail-like labels in RadGridView for WinForms? No problems!

    As you probably know, RadControls for WinForms are built on top of our own Telerik Presentation Framework. This especially designed framework gives you the ability to extend the existing RadControls to a great level. Today, I am going to share with you how you can plug Gmail-like labels in RadGridView for WinForms (http://www.telerik.com/products/winforms/gridview.aspx). First of all we need the construction blocks for the labels. These blocks are represented by a very important element of our framework – the LightVisualElement. Several RadControls use this element extensively – RadTreeView, RadPanelBar, RadCalendar and RadGridView. The advantage of this element is that it incorporates all essential...

    Telerik Data Services Wizard Walk Through

    Last week Telerik released the December CTP of the Data Services Wizard. I posted on my blog a video that shows how to get started, however, for those of you that like walkthroughs better, here is one using a WCF Data Services (Astoria) service. Getting Started: Mapping Data With OpenAccess To get started, first download and install the Data Services Wizard. After that, fire up Visual Studio and create a new Class library application named Telerik.DSW.Demo.Astoria.DAL. Run the OpenAccess “Enable Project to use ORM” wizard and then run the Reverse Mapping Wizard and map to your database. For this demo I mapped the Northwind database. Map as many tables as you...

    Telerik WinForms Tools get new slicker theme for Q3 2009

    It was time to spend a little time to update the UI of the Tools included in the RadControls for WinForms suite. Not because we did not like the old design - quite the contrary - the green Telerik theme was quite impressive back in the day, when we introduced it:   Rather, we felt that we need a more modern and minimalistic look, one that is more innovative, even corporate. As a result, as of Q3 2009 the WinForms Tools use the Office 2007 Black theme in out tools. Enjoy! Visual Style Builder The new skin in the Visual Style Builder emphasizes the details...

    Accessible RadEditor used by the Royal National Institute of Blind People

    I am posting this on behalf of the editor team here at Telerik. It has been a really great experience to work with the folks at the Royal National Institute of the Blind People (RNIB) and Content and Code. The folks at RNIB helped us a lot to improve the accessible feature set of RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX and we are very happy with the results. We are proud to be the chosen component vendor for an accessible HTML editor. The required changes to the editor client code were not difficult and added the needed features for blind and partially sighted people. Some...

    How To: Display RadGridView Row Details with RadWindow for Silverlight

    In one of my previous blog posts I have explained how to display hierarchical data with Row Details. Now, if you are familiar with Row Details features, you know that you are not limited to showing the details inside RadGridView. You can show them anywhere by using the handy external DetailsPresenter. As a matter of fact, each GridViewRow has one of those DetailsPresenter’s inside its template. So you will be using the same class that we are using internally to show the details of each single row. The documentation states that in order to display Row Details outside RadGridView, you need to place...

    Service Pack 1 for Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC released

    We have just released the first service pack for Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC. Here are the most important changes: The Grid<T>(T item) method has been removed (for good). This means you can no longer use the following syntax: Html.Telerik.Grid(new { Text="", Age=0}) .Columns(columns => { columns.Add(o => o.Text); columns.Add(o => o.Age); }) The reason is that this prevented type inference in some regularly used cases – the C# compiler preferred that method instead of Grid<T>(IEnumerable<T> dataSource). This forum thread shows...
