What Is Missing In Windows 8 & How Telerik Can Help Fill The Gaps
Windows 8 is on the horizon, and many of us are turning our attention to building Metro-style applications. The opportunity is enormous; possibly once in a life-time. The numbers of Windows 7 machines is staggering, and sooner or later nearly all of these will convert to Windows 8 and find the Store on their Start page. In addition to the millions of customers who will have access to the Windows Store, many enterprises are gearing up for immersive applications for their businesses. In short, there is a lot of interest in what it takes to create a Windows 8 Metro-style... -

Telerik’s ASP.NET AJAX Control Suite with Fresh Q2’12 SP and Q3’12 Roadmap

Consuming RadControls for Metro/XAML from C++
Two weeks ago we released a public BETA of the world’s first commercial library for building Windows 8 Metro applications – Telerik RadControls for Metro. So far we have gathered lots of positive feedback as well as some specific questions regarding our XAML components. Such an interesting question is whether our controls can be used in a C++ application. Prior to WinRT (Windows Runtime), the XAML platform was available to managed developers only and we, at Telerik, have solid technical background with C# and .NET. That’s why we have built our Metro XAML components using C# and the .NET runtime. We performed... -

Control Implicit Styles or “Where is My ComboBox.xaml” of RadControls for Silverlight and WPF
It is gone… Merged in Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input.xaml. But you can still extract it, just read on. A while back ago we have released the styles for all our controls and themes of the RadControls for Silverlight and WPF suites as ResourceDictionary xaml files containing implicit styles. Currently they could be merged in the App.xaml files of your application and would apply globally. Of course there is more information available in the help sections: Implicit styles Silverlight Implicit styles WPF Some of the benefits are that the styles are no longer hidden in a dll’s resources but rather exposed in your application. And so it is easier to re-style some of the controls or... -
