    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...

    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...

    The ASP.NET AJAX Gauge - Meet Telerik’s New HTML5-based Data Visualization Recruit

    With our previous release (Q2 2012) we introduced RadHtmlChart, but we didn’t stop there – even before the next major release we introduced a lot of the features you asked for. Once again we leveraged the latest HTML5 goodness and RadHtmlChart now has its own younger brother – RadGauge. In fact, it’s a pair of twins – RadRadialGauge and RadLinearGauge to make the family life even more fun. Put simply, you can use the gauge to show very specific data with relation to a given range.

    Build stronger applications with Coded UI Tests for WinForms. Today.

    Out of question, high quality is top priority for each and every software product on the market. Microsoft knows that well and that’s why with the introduction of Visual Studio 2010 they unveiled their own test automation solution called Coded UI Tests. We plugged Telerik’s WinForms into this test automation ecosystem by introducing MSAA support for the whole suite which allowed for integration with the first level of Coded UI Tests. We did not stop there, however, and I am glad to inform you that as of Q3 2012 RadControls for WinForms suite will introduce full support for Coded UI Tests...
