New Features of RadHtmlChart for ASP.NET AJAX Ship a Month Ahead of Schedule
With Q2 2012 release we shipped the first version of the RadHtmlChart control and, like any fledgling control, it did not have all the features you wanted to see, so we started working on them as soon as we got your feedback. We have promised we will add some of them in the Q3 2012 release (see our Roadmap), and I am glad to announce that we pushed hard and quite a lot of them are already available, far before the promised date :-) Let’s take a quick look around: Client-side Events This chart operates primarily on the client and it was inevitable that... -

Pick & Read with Bookshelf – Our New Modern Style App created with WinForms
The fast approaching Microsoft’s much-anticipated launch of Windows 8 caused quite a stir in creating Modern UI style applications these days. That’s why we decided to present you Bookshelf - our new demo app created with RadControls for Winforms. This is a Modern UI style application coming with full touch support using the irreplaceable Windows Forms technology. Please welcome the Bookshelf demo application: The application downloads all the book details' data utilizing an Ebay web service and then displays all titles as tiles sorted in different categories with the help of RadPanorama. All screens have touch scrolling functionality that comes out of... -

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. ...September 04, 2012 2 min read -

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 ...
