    Just Like a Second Birthday – Telerik’s Controls for ASP.NET AJAX and Visual Studio 2012 RTM

    It’s not every day you get to talk about the newest RTM release of Visual Studio, but once in a blue moon (OK, every two years or so ;)) you are lucky enough to be able to say “it’s finally here” to the latest iteration of the .NET developer’s favorite IDE. Much like your birthdays as a kid where you awoke with much glee and excitement to find some of your most requested toys (Power Rangers Megazoid anyone?) many of us arrive to our offices (or for those of you working from home, roll out of bed :D) and start...

    Performance monitoring in a Load test

    Test Studio’s Load feature is seeing some lightning-fast evolution these days. New things are added, existing things are improved – all based on customer feedback. Load testing has been around since the R1 release in April. In other words not very long. But things have been dynamic: the SP1 release re-worked the result output making it much more responsive. Next we introduced data-binding into the mix. And now with the latest SP2 release of R1 again we add more neat things. First off: the result visualization is improved. You can filter the results for your separate Load agents which wasn’t ...

    Introduction to RadBulletGraph

    When you install RadControls for Metro two files are placed on your desktop. One is the QSF for HTML/JavaScript and the other is for XAML/C#. Not only will these samples demonstrate how powerful the controls are, the code in the sample applications can serve as an excellent learning tool. In this blog post, I will tease out of the QSF for XAML the fundamentals of creating a RadBulletGraph. A bullet graph is a very concise way to convey a primary measure (e.g., current revenue) compared to one or more other measures (e.g., a target revenue) in the context of qualitative ranges (e.g,...

    Windows 8–Data binding Part 2

    In my previous blog post I introduced data binding.  It worked, but there was no mechanism for updating.  Updating comes in two flavors, and these are often confused by folks new to databinding: Someone else updates the underlying data; we’d like the display to be updated The user updates the data on the display, we’d like the underlying data to be updated The first case arises because most of the time you are not the only user of your program – other users may be connected to the same data and while you are looking at your data someone else...

    Windows 8 Primer–Data Binding (Part 1)

    Data-binding is often thought of as an advanced topic, but there really is no reason for that. data-binding is Critical to writing XAML applications Not very difficult to learn A very powerful technique Note to Silverlight, WPF and Windows Phone Programmers: Nothing Here Is New.  Data-binding in Windows 8 works exactly as you expect. The basic idea behind data-binding couldn’t be simpler: we are going to provide values to UIElements based on the values of objects or of other UIElements.  In this first tutorial, we’ll keep it simple and bind the value of POCO (Plain Old CLR Objects) to UI elements. For example, if I have...

    Migrating OnClientClick handlers from ASP button to Telerik’s ASP.NET AJAX Button

    Let’s start with some background – a common need is for a button to execute some JavaScript code in order to create a more responsive page. With the standard ASP:Button the OnClientClick is used to specify this execution statement. Take the following simple example: <script type="text/javascript">     function ButtonClick(button) {         alert("The Button with ID " + button.id + " was clicked.");     } </script> <asp:Button ID="Button1" Text="Regular Button" OnClientClick="ButtonClick(this); return false;" runat="server" />   What you can see here is a function called with parentheses, an argument provided to the function and the return false; statement that prevents the postback. The case with Telerik’s ASP.NET AJAX Button is slightly different, however. It follows the convention all other Telerik ASP.NET AJAX...
