    Encrypting Passwords in Test Studio

    Using safe, generic accounts for testing is a boon; however, sometimes that’s simply not possible. Corporate policies may prevent “fake” accounts, or perhaps the test accounts have access to sensitive areas. In these cases it’s critical you’re able to secure the logon credentials. Test Studio’s Service Pack 2 for our 2012 R1 release now enables you to securely encrypt passwords in your tests with just a simple click. Here’s how a test logging on to our demo app looks. You can see the password is stored in clear text in the test: The password is also stored in clear text ...

    First Look at RadComboBox and RadAutoComplete for Windows 8 - HTML

    Introduction Hello and welcome to our “First Look” of Telerik’s Windows 8 UI Controls. In this post, we are going to specifically target Windows 8 Applications built using HTM5/JS/CSS3 and our new Windows 8 control suite. Have you ever wanted to create a Metro Application that had a more powerful ComboBox with functionality such as auto-complete or placeholder text? What about an AutoCompleteBox with the same functionality, but found that control completely missing? Maybe you are writing an application that needs the user to select from a list of World Countries, but don’t know where to start. In this blog post,...

    RadControls for Metro (XAML)–Date and Time Pickers

    Surprisingly, Visual Studio for Windows 8 XAML does not come with either a date or a time picker. Not to worry, we’ve got you covered. The RadControls For Metro suite of controls includes a very flexible DatePicker and TimePicker control that I’ll illustrate in this posting. To get started, be sure to add a reference to the RadControls for Metro to your application. As usual, we’ll begin with the data. This time the data is very simple. We start by creating a class representing a hotel or conference reservation, public class Reservation   {       public DateTime ArriveDate { get; set; }       public DateTime DepartDate { get; set; }   } Notice that the two properties are of...

    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,...
