    HTML5 is Not Over-Hyped

    A week doesn’t go by where I don’t see some analyst or research firm trying to make headlines by endorsing or disparaging the viability of HTML5. HTML5 is the new kid on the block, so it’s an easy target. The latest case is a recent report from...

    I won an Ultimate Collection at a User Group or Event, what happens now?

    You didn’t think we would just leave you hanging did you?  Your Ultimate Collection license code automatically turns into a DevCraft Complete license once activated. All you need to do is follow the instructions on your license card and go to www.telerik.com/promocode to activate your license. What happens if you won the license a year or two ago and have one of our Ultimate Collection CDs? Well, first off what are you waiting for?!  Secondly, we want you to get access to the Telerik goodness as fast as possible so your code will also turn into a DevCraft Complete License. However,...

    The Story of the Ribbon so far and to come...

    The ribbon (or RadRibbonBar, as we have named it) is among the most tempting-to-use looking and yet somewhat neglected controls. True, it has received some Microsoft love with being the core command component in the Office suite, as well as being more deeply integrated in the soon-to-be-released Windows8, but overall it's not been used that much. Main reason being “why use it”. That, by the way, is an excellent question. So why use the ribbon? To answer that, let's first analyse the control and its purpose: it looks like a tabbed command area; a tabbed toolbar if you will. For the most part,...

    Why Is Your Web Page Not Behaving as Expected – Troubleshooting Web Page Scripts

    In my last blog post of this series I covered the element inspector and network resources tab of modern day web browsers’ developer tools. Although there is a large set of what I like to call “modern” web browsers out there I decided to only take a look at three of them; Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer 9. Today I want to continue this series and cover another useful aspect of web development tools – the Scripts tab. This tab not only allows you to inspect all of the JavaScript that has been downloaded to the client, it also allows you to...

    Windows 8 & Data Binding. Part 5–Binding to Lists

    In Part 4 of this mini-series on data binding we looked at Data Conversion.  Today we look at binding a UI Element to a list of objects. The trick in binding to a list, is to teach the control how to display the bound data. It needs to know how to display each object in the list – what properties of the object should be displayed and how should they appear? You do this most often with a DataTemplate – a template that will be reproduced for each member of the collection. In the next example we create an Employee class. Each Employee...
