Telerik Reporting to drop .NET2.x, .NET3.0, VS2005 and VS2008 support in Q2 2013
Yes, it is about time, and you, our users, have confirmed it in the several polls we ran on the topic. As of Q2 2013 (expected in June 2013), Telerik Reporting will stop supporting .NET2.x, .NET3.0x as well as VS2005 and VS2008. This way the small percentage of our users still using .NET2 and .NET3.0 have several months to migrate their projects to newer .NET versions (.NET 3.5 SP1, .NET4.x). Alternatively, these projects can continue to run against .NET2 or .NET3.0, but they will not be able to use newer versions of Telerik Reporting. Why the change? -

Adding and Editing Records with AppBar Flyouts
In my last post, I showed how to simple it is to remove commands from the user interface and place them into the AppBar. The commands for editing records and adding new records are both hardcoded to which record gets edited and what data gets added. That is not a very user friendly way to edit/add records. Windows 8 applications can take advantage of Flyouts for tasks such as getting data into an application, presenting a screen for editing a record, and any other interaction with the user. A Flyout is essentially a mini-form or user control (neither term is technically correct, but you get the point, I believe). Instead of swapping the currently displayed content with another screen for editing records and another screen for adding records, using Flyouts can help keep your users focused on their data and the task at hand. -

Windows 8–Conference Buddy. Reading JSON From A File
I’d like to have a page in Conference Buddy that lists all the customer contacts. We’re currently writing these contacts to file in JSON format. My goal for today is to read that file and populate a ListView with the contents, using data binding. -

Windows 8 AppBars in WinJS
Microsoft’s guidance for Windows 8 applications is based on content over chrome. Development styles for prior versions of Windows often included navigation controls, buttons, tabs, and other non-content related items intermixed with the data, often obscuring the information that the application was trying to convey. This isn’t to say that we were all doing it wrong all of these years, as there wasn’t a mechanism (or even guidance) in place to provide an alternative. -

Windows 8 GridView, ListView and SnapView
Every Windows 8 application must also support SnapView, in which your application is allocated 320x768 pixels – that is, your application is squeezed into a relatively thin sliver on the left or right of the screen. GridView leaves much to be desired in SnapView and the common solution is to hide your GridView and to display the same data in a ListView, which works well in those dimensions as it scrolls vertically. -

Fiddler ImageView GeoLocation
In my previous post, I discussed the recent enhancements to Fiddler’s ImageView extension that expose metadata about image files under inspection. My initial goal in exposing metadata was to help you optimize the size of images in order to build faster websites. However, in some cases the privacy implications of such metadata can be of far greater concern. -
