Web ASP.NET AJAX
Take a Walk on the Client Side with WebAPI and WebForms
In my last blog I introduced the basics of using ASP.NET AJAX and WebAPI together in the same project. In addition, I showed how to bind results from WebAPI to a Telerik’s ASP.NET AJAX Grid. In this blog I will continue down this path and implement insert, update, and delete operations using WebAPI and RadGrid! Note: While this post focuses on using WebAPI in conjunction with RadGrid, most of the client code can be used when working with RadGrid in client mode.Set It Up! To get started an additional reference needs to be added to the project: System.Net.Http.Formatting Adding this reference allows us...April 26, 2012

Here we grow again. Telerik acquires NimblePros
It doesn’t even feel like it’s been that long since I wrote a post on “Telerik in Numbers” (almost 10 months to date), and that blog content feels very out of date. While I plan to update you with some new, fresh stats in the future, today I wanted to update you with some exciting news that will impact the stats I gave you on the number of offices and people we have. I am really happy to announce the acquisition of NimblePros. Throughout the years we’ve had many touch points with Michelle and Steve Smith, the founders of NimblePros....April 26, 2012 -

Bend Telerik OpenAccess ORM to Your Will with Type Converters – Storing Classes to XML
In a previous blog I showed how to customize Telerik OpenAccess ORM data mappings using custom TypeConverters. In particular we looked at storing, and querying, an enum by its name rather than its int value. In this example, I will show how to get OpenAccess to serialize a class to xml, and store it in the database. In the end you will have a reusable TypeConverter you can use to store any class as XML using OpenAccess! :) Creating the Type Converter The first thing we need to do is create the type converter. To do that, simply grab the basic skeleton I displayed...April 25, 2012 -

XAMLflix Introduces RadTreeView
Hello everyone and welcome back to XAMLflix with RadTreeView for Silverlight and WPF. I hope you have been enjoying the series as last week we took a look at RadZipLibrary and RadTileView. What is XAMLflix you might ask? Well, it is Telerik’s way of teaching you how to use both new and existing controls from Telerik’s XAML suite. Each and every Thursday, we will provide a fresh batch of videos and sample projects highlighting a different control. Since our Silverlight and WPF share a common codebase and API, you only have to learn how to use these controls once! You can simply copy and...April 24, 2012 -

Take your ASP.NET Controls to the Gym
There’s a ton of cool stuff coming out with ASP.NET 4.5 and Visual Studio 11. If you haven’t had a chance yet, take a look at my top five list of Visual Studio 11 Designer improvements for ASP.NET 4.5 development, as well as my deeper dive into the VS11 Page Inspector tool. Today however, I want to jump a bit more into code since, so far I haven’t covered too much of that! One of the new ASP.NET 4.5 improvements I’m excited about is the ability to have strongly typed controls. That’s right, you heard me, strongly typed! Why am I so...April 24, 2012
