A Sneak Peek at our ASP.NET AJAX RibbonBar development
A few months ago, I blogged about Telerik’s ASP.NET RibbonBar control (or just ribbon for short) in general: why use it; a few words about the ribbon spec; improvements we have made and future plans we have for it. Now, few days after the 2012 Q3 release, I am blogging about our progress in this area, as well as bringing up some other lesser known features of the ribbon. What's old new in the Ribbon I did mention this in my previous post, but perhaps I did not emphasize it enough: apart from complying with the MS specs more, we introduced two major features for... -

Introducing revamped ChartDataSource for WPF and Silverlight
It is only a few days since the 2012 Q3 release of RadControls for Silverlight and WPF and we have something new to show you. Here in Telerik we really appreciate feedback from you, the customer. Following this feedback we revamped our ChartDataSource to include the most desired features and we also significantly improved performance. Let’s start with a few words on the ChartDataSource itself. If you are familiar with it you can safely skip this section and move directly to the goodies. The ChartDataSource is a companion control, designed to work together with our new charting solution –... -

Abstracting Dependencies with JustMock
Unit tests are most effective when the System Under Test is isolated from its dependencies. The best way to isolate your code (and make your code more SOLID) is through dependency injection. But even if you follow the rules of SOLID and inject all of the necessary dependencies in as interfaces, you are still faced with the fact that you depend on them. In order to test your code, something concrete has to be passed into the code in order for it to even compile. Your production code will most likely use a factory to create concrete instances of the dependent interfaces, but that... -

A Brief Guide To Data Manipulation with Telerik’s mighty PivotGrid for ASP.NET AJAX
Since we introduced the RadPivotGrid for ASP.NET AJAX in Q2 2012 we have been working hard to bring new functionalities and make our next grid control the best on the market. Now with the release of Q3 2012 we are happy to tell you that we are even closer to achieve desktop-like experience in the browser.

Easily Generate QR Codes with Telerik’s ASP.NET AJAX Barcode Control
A typical scenario is for someone to browse a website on his computer, and then to wish to open a link of the site on his cellphone. It would be easier for the person to open it, if it’s encoded as an image that the phone can directly read, because smartphones cannot understand human readable text, but most of them can read images, called QR codes. What are QR (Quick Response) codes and how are they used? The QR is a two-dimensional code. It looks like a matrix which consists of black square dots (modules) on a white background. Text information can... -
