    See what's new in RadControls for WinForms Q3 2012 SP1

    Earlier this week, Telerik Dev Labs released yet another pack of updates for our WinForms UI components. Q3'12 Service Pack 1 for RadControls for WinForms brings with it a number of exciting new features – particularly around our data manipulation controls. Only a few weeks following its beta release, we enhanced RadPivotGrid with built-in support for data binding to an OLAP cube. Furthermore, we packed two new modern UI skins, one of which was inspired by Visual Studio 2012 and the other one helps you deliver even better touch user experience in your WinForms apps. Of course, the latest update also includes a bunch of bug fixes and performance enhancements based on the valuable feedback you provided. Keep reading to take a glimpse into the highlights listed below. Read more >>

    Mobile MeetUp at the Movies: Seattle

    Last night I had the great pleasure of introducing a few hundred mobile app developers to Icenium, and then treating them to a pre-release private screening of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey in High Frame Rate 3D. I have to say, I had a blast. The energy level was high, I meet a lot of very cool, developers, and learned a lot about some of the start-ups in the area.

    India Trip Notes

    12 days. Two user groups, three conferences, two days of training/coaching for a customer, five customer site visits, one interview, several community engagements. I’m pretty sure I’m missing something there, but that’s a fairly accurate summary of my trip to India these last two weeks. Our country manager, Abhishek Kant, lined up an extremely full itinerary (because I told him to!) for my extended trip. We spent a lot of time having great conversations with customers, other organizations, community members, and each other. India’s an amazing place, and I’ll have a post about the more personal aspects of my ...

    Windows 8: Storing JSON Data for Conference Buddy

    Once we gather the data, we’d like to save it to a format that will be consistent across Windows 8 C# and Windows 8 Javascript, as well as Windows 8 Phone. For now, we’ve settled on JSON as a common persistence and wire-format. While JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation, there are good libraries for converting .NET objects to JSON and back.

    Windows 8: Adding An AppBar to Conference Buddy

    In the most recent posting, we looked at a wire-frame that illustrated some of the data we’ll be collecting. The user fills in the fields, but then how does the user indicate Save or Cancel? It would be tempting to add buttons right beneath the data entry form, but the design guidelines call for keeping Chrome, including such buttons, out of sight.
