JustTrace and JustMock in Visual Studio 11
Microsoft released Visual Studio 11 Beta just over a month ago, and we quickly ensured bleeding edge developers would have access to their favorite productivity tool, Telerik JustCode! So, what about the other Just products? Visual Studio 11 Support We wouldn’t dare leave our loyal JustMock and JustTrace users out of the fun. If you keep current with our internal builds (or service pack for JustTrace), you already have versions with Visual Studio 11 support! However, we only install our products into the versions of Visual Studio you selected. Since you probably installed the tools before VS11 came out, you may need to change your setup....April 19, 2012

String Matching in LINQ
Performing simple string equality tests is often not enough when application user convenience is key. Often only a fragment of a string is known to the user, or many of them. Sometimes there is a need to search for a fragment in multiple columns. Which options does OpenAccess and LINQ provide to perform string matching? Into which SQL is the LINQ expression translated? Let’s use a simple class model for this post: a Person with a FirstName, a LastName and a NickName. Let’s assume parameters with the name simpleParam (string) and manyParam (ICollection<string>). String equality comparison Using the standard Equals method translates directly into...April 17, 2012 -

XAMLflix Introduces RadZipLibrary
Hello everyone and welcome back to XAMLflix with RadZipLibrary for Silverlight and WPF.

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...April 17, 2012 -

Communication struggles at a large company
Last week I wrote about communication struggles at startups and small companies. Since Telerik is the largest company I’ve ever worked for, I’ve asked my sister, Caroline Forte, to write a guest blog post.

Take it away sis: I’ve worked in communications at a large company for longer than I’d like to publically admit. During that time I have supported many different facets of the business, yet the communication challenges seem to be very consistent. No matter how much information you try to provide there are...April 17, 2012
