Print your data with RadGridView for WinForms in a few quick steps
We are sure you will agree that the highly demanded Printing support for RadGridView for WinForms was welcomed warmly by your end-users. We wanted to make sure that the Print Preview, Print Settings and Watermark dialogs will make the printing as easy as possible, but at the same time they will enable end-users to customize the printing output to the smallest detail. The result is that you can print a RadGridView with a call to the Print() method and the grid is send to the printer. On the other hand if you want to customize the result by using code, you have a...April 06, 2012 -

IE10: The Next IE6?
Let me be very clear: IE10 is a great browser. Genuinely. For all of its missteps with Internet Explorer over the years, Microsoft takes one giant step with IE10 towards finally feeling like a proper, modern, HTML5-ready browser. Of course, it won’t fully close the “HTML5 gap”...April 05, 2012

Become a Visual Studio 11 Master Detective – A Look into the Page Inspector
Last week I mentioned my top five Visual Studio 11 designer improvements for ASP.NET development which took a look at some new goodies for us ASP.NET devs in VS11. One of these items, the Page Inspector, did get a bit of a spotlight but I think a paragraph or two cannot contain the sheer awesomeness that is this tool. Now I can hear some of you asking “What is this Page Inspector, and what makes it so special?” Well, let me tell you :) The Page Inspector found in VS11 brings in some of the most useful features within our favorite modern browser’s...April 05, 2012 -

From Legacy to Dependency Injection
The best thing about using Telerik JustMock is that you can mock practically everything. You can even mock types without using dependency injection, making JustMock the best framework to use when working with legacy code. We’ve all encountered tightly-bound code, and our first instinct is to correct it. However, there are only so many hours in a sprint, and it’s not always convenient to go on a large refactoring spree when the backlog is filling up. With JustMock, you can still ensure the code works, and it will set you up for the cleaning that will take place at a later time. The...April 04, 2012

Metro, Direct2D and XAML – Burst of Performance in Windows 8
Now that Windows 8 Consumer Preview is out we are eager to explore the new framework and the features it offers. While part of it is the good old XAML, there are plenty of other unique features, one of them being the DirectX integration at XAML level. While XAML is a great technology and offers literally unlimited features regarding layout and UI richness, sometimes there are cases where we need to push the framework beyond its limits in order to achieve highly-performing components with responsive and fluid user interaction. Although in most cases writing efficient algorithms and using the proper data structures...April 02, 2012 -

Thinking of a startup: start small and start now!
Over the past few months, I’ve judged both the Startup Weekend and ServiceJam in Hong Kong, attended pitch nights, and spoke at some start-up networking events. Almost all aspiring entrepreneurs who I talked to at these events struggled with when was the right time to release V1 of their product. One guy even told me that he was sitting on an idea, an idea that he thinks can be bigger than Facebook, for almost 12 years waiting for patents! My advice to each all of these entrepreneurs is the same: start small and start now. Your best bet if you are thinking about something is to just do it. Many...April 02, 2012
