Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Refactor Your Code
I am a huge proponent of writing quality code, a view that is shared by many of my colleagues. Unfortunately, I do encounter those who do not share my enthusiasm. Their view is often one of “Get It Done,” whereas I take the position of “Get It Done Right.” When discussing refactoring, the “Get It Done” developer often brushes it aside as a waste of time. I want to address that crowd, and anyone else who eschews refactoring, with my top 5 reasons why you should refactor your code. Enjoy! 5.

Creating a Bar Chart with RadCartesianChart, part of Telerik Windows 8 UI Controls
In an earlier blog post I reviewed how to create a line chart using RadChart for Metro. In this blog post I will review how to create a bar chart, and no doubt you will notice some striking similarities. All of this is done with the Telerik Windows 8 UI Controls. We’ll begin with the data. Our bar chart will compare revenues for five stores. [ Click on the image to see full size ] Our first class will define the StoreRevenue type and will have a static method to generate some sample data (normally, of course, you would get this data from a...August 20, 2012 -

Get a sneak peek at our Q3’12 WinForms Planning
The second major installment of RadControls for WinForms in 2012 brought to life three new controls to the suite; it boasted a fine-tuned theming mechanism and introduced various accessibility tweaks making it even easier for you to deliver your apps’ experience to visually impaired people.

RadEditor for MOSS (SharePoint 2007) Discontinued as of Q2 2012
Microsoft is going to end the mainstream support for SharePoint 2007 (MOSS) on October 9th, 2012 (see on the official support lifecycle page), we also stopped the development of RadEditor for MOSS, just like we followed suit with the support for .NET 2.0. The last official release of RadEditor for MOSS is version 5.8.16 (Q2 2012), which is based on Telerik's ASP.NET Editor (version 2012.2.607). The RadEditor for MOSS build is using a .NET 2.0 version of Telerik.Web.UI. Since we are no longer maintaining a .NET 2.0 build, we cannot have new versions of the MOSS editor. Please keep in mind that support for integrating newer versions of...August 20, 2012 -

Telerik Loves Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2012 RTMs!
Yesterday’s release of Visual Studio 2012 and Blend for Visual Studio 2012 marks the beginning of a new era. In some ways, VS2012 and Blend are incremental releases, adding even better support for building enterprise and consumer apps and services for the desktop and the web. However, in one very important way, the release of VS2012 and Blend, together with the release of Windows 8 earlier this month, signals a whole new focus for the platform - that of touch-centric tablets - and with it, a whole new way to package and distribute apps for the Windows operating system - the Windows Store. If Windows 8 sells even half of...by Chris SellsAugust 20, 2012 -

Windows 8 & Data Binding. Part 4–Data Conversion
In Part 3 of this little mini-series on data binding in Windows 8 we looked at Element Binding. Today, we’ll take a look at Data Conversion. At times the data in your business object (the source for your binding) and the target UIElement may not have an exact type match. For example, if your Employee class wants to keep track of the start date for each Employee, a sensible way to do so is with a DateTime object. However, when we display that data we’ll want to use a Text object, and we may not want the entire default conversion of...August 17, 2012 -

Google Rocking the London Startup Scene
While I was in London last week, Telerik’s UK Country Manager and I took some time to visit the Google Campus, a massive co-working and startup incubation space. There are six floors of co-working space where you can apply to be a resident if you are a startup based in London and an awesome cafeteria/coffee shop where anyone can come in for the day. On the top floor is Google’s offices. Even though Telerik has a London office, we registered online and spent a day working at the co-work space, mostly to get a feel for the co-work space and check out the scene. (Also, Telerik’s KendoUI was...August 17, 2012
