Create an Appointment Tracking App with RadDatePicker & RadTimePicker.
We all have a variety of uses for collecting Date and Time information from a user. For example, tracking the time a patient arrives and departs from a hospital, to when a car was returned at a local car rental location to tracking expense reports. One of the controls that you may have found missing with Windows 8 XAML applications is the Date/Time Picker control. While the control exists for Windows 8 HTML Applications, it is very limited in its initial state. That is one of the reasons that Telerik has decided to make a more robust Date/Time Picker control and... -

Accelerator 2.0
Over the past year I have been a mentor at an accelerator called Haxlr8r. Haxlr8r, based just north of me in Shenzhen, China, is a unique accelerator since it is the only accelerator to focus exclusively on hardware startups. The targeted hyper-focus of the cohort paid dividends as everyone is in the same space and learned from each other and shared their experiences. That got me thinking, why not do the same for software!?!? Over the past few months, I’ve been helping organize the first ever early-stage startup accelerator in Hong Kong. This accelerator is not like any of its kind. It is the only accelerator to... -

Regular VS Simulated Clicks
Test Studio's clicking and typing steps come in two varieties: regular and simulated clicks. You can flip between the two by going into the Properties menu for the respective step: A regular (non-simulated) click/typing is an action that is injected directly into the DOM of the page. This has advantages - it's faster and more reliable. It will work even if you run the test on a locked desktop. But it's fundamentally different from a real user clicking/typing on a control. And the disadvantage is that it will not trigger any events that are associated with the control in question. ...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

I have a new cover story article published in print and online in Visual Studio Magazine today called, “Windows 8 Apps With HTML5”.

Pie Chart: Taking Control of the Label
It is pretty straight-forward to create a pie chart with a simple label that identifies the “category” for each slice. What is a bit trickier is to modify that label so that it shows not only the category, but the percentage each slice represents. Let’s build the pie chart both ways to see the difference. In either case, we begin with data. Our pie chart will reflect a municipal budget, and so our first class is BudgetData, 1: public class BudgetData : INotifyPropertyChanged 2: { 3: private double millions; 4: public double Millions ... -

Tweet your Performance results
You might already be familiar with this article. It will tell you how to access your results from code so that you can do whatever you like with them (tweet them, use them to build up a custom dashboard, post them on Facebook etc.). But that's just for functional test. What about Performance testing? Can you access your Performance data from a coded snippet? Yes, you can. It's slightly more complex. Performance results are not available immediately after a test has finished running. Hench you won't be able to access them from the OnAfterTestCompleted (reference). Instead you have to access ...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

Showing 4 Data Points At Once: Financial Chart
Most charts show one point at a time on a Cartesian (x/y) coordinate. That is, a single point might indicate that July sales were $525MM while August sales (a second point) were $350MM. The chart might also show a line connecting the two points to show the change in value. But each individual entry is typically a single point on the coordinate system. With stocks, we’d like to show four bits of information for each entry: the opening price, the closing price, the high for the day, the low for the day. There is no good way to do this by drawing points on an...
