The Case of Telerik’s New Old ASP.NET AJAX Upload Control – RadAsyncUpload
It’s weird that RadAsyncUpload, Telerik’s next-generation ASP.NET upload control, was introduced more than 2 years ago and while its functionality is times richer than the one of RadUpload, the latter is still one of our most widely used controls and the former simply stays in the shadow. People continue recommending our older Upload control in community forums, our customers continue to use it in new projects and we just don’t get it.December 05, 2012 -

The Importance of Wireframes in Application Design
Recently, I joined efforts with two of my good friends and fellow Telerik Evangelists Michael Crump and Jesse Liberty to jointly build an application that would run on Windows 8 and Windows Phone. Michael will do the Windows Phone development, Jesse Windows 8 with C# and XAML, and I will tackle the WinJS version. Jesse did a great job of outlining the goals of the application and the initial wireframes of the application in his post on the project kick off. I want to focus on the value of using Wireframes in application design.December 04, 2012

MVVM in WinJS Part 1 - Observable Models
The goal of the Presentation Model pattern is to “Represent the state and behavior of the presentation independently of the GUI controls used in the interface” (from Martin Fowler’s website.) All of the data and behavior of the UI as it relates to the state of the model is contained in the model. The view (or the UI) simply renders the data and refers to the model to determine such things as control state and values. Non model related items (such as rendering and other solely UI constructs) are in the This minimizes interaction between the model and the UI, creating a clearer separation of concerns between the two layers.December 04, 2012

Using the Performance Analyzer for HTML5 Apps in Windows 8
If you have built a Windows 8 app, you are probably familiar with the WACK (Windows App Certification Kit). This small utility allows a developer to make sure that their app passes the basic tests performed during the Windows Store certification process. Visual Studio 2012 advises you to run the WACK each time you create an app package. This tool is great for small and simple apps, but for more complex ones you will need a better way to evaluate their performance. That is why you should also test using the Performance Analyzer for HTML5 Apps.December 04, 2012 -

New Release! Test Studio 2012 R2 SP1
Our engineering and testing crew has been hard at work to get the latest release of Test Studio out the door! Test Studio 2012 R2 SP1 is now ready for you to download and install! Our service packs generally focus on bug fixes and under-the-cover enhancements; however, this release has some really exciting new features. Two of my personal favorites are searching within a project or test, and Silverlight/WPF scrolling of elements via the UI. First off, search. Ease of navigation through a large test suite or test is a very tedious task. There’s also a discoverability issue if ...December 04, 2012
