How to Create a JustCode Extension
I wrote about creating JustCode extensions when it was a new feature, and we have improved it based upon our experiences and your feedback.

Working with Report Templates in the Report Designer
The Report templates in Telerik Reporting hold the initial report layout and styling, and allow for creating reports with consistent look and feel. They save time by skipping the repetitive tasks associated with building a new report every time, so that users can focus on the specific requirements of the new report. These tasks may include setting page sizes, connecting to data sources, defining headers and footers (such as adding a logo and page numbers), as well as styling. In Q3 2012 you can create, load, and reuse such report templates in the standalone Report Designer. Creating a Report Template is... -

What is Telerik Services?
Telerik has offered professional services for several years now, in response to demands from our customers. These have ranged from training and mentoring engagements to development of proof-of-concept applications demonstrating how our tools work with our customers’ existing infrastructure. We have also worked closely with certain customers to build features they require directly into our tools. With the recent acquisition of NimblePros and the growth of Telerik’s Services team, some companies may worry that Telerik is a competitive threat when it comes to training and consulting engagements. Absolutely not, and we’d like the opportunity to prove it to you! We do... -

How to Create Mobile-Ready WebForms Applications 101
Developing for the mobile platform is all the rage right now – and rightfully so! I, for one, am tired of having either an experience that plain does not work on my device or having to zoom in and scroll around just to look up some quick information (time tables for busses are my nemesis). There are a few ways to develop against mobile devices like creating a web application that works in the devices browser, creating a hybrid application using HTML and a framework like PhoneGap, or just go plain native. As ASP.NET developers most likely we’ll want take... -

NuGet or Not for Telerik?
At Telerik, we strive to make the installation process for trials or licensed copies of our software easier. Earlier this year, we released the Telerik Control Panel, which helps keep our licensed customers up to date on their purchased products and trials installed on their machines. We also provided packages that can be installed by the Extension Manager (Extensions and Updates in Visual Studio 2012) requiring authentication when a project is created. As NuGet gains popularity, we have researched whether we can support it and what the user experience will be like if we do. We associate each user with a Telerik... -
