With the 2012 R2 Release, localization of the Ideas and Feedback Portal is as easy as editing a text file! Background Localization is the process of changing the text in an application to another language, or locale. Well designed applications allow for changing the text that is displayed without having to branch the source code and recompile, and TeamPulse certainly falls into this category. Built on Microsoft’s .NET Platform, TeamPulse takes full advantage of the localization features provided by the .NET Framework, allowing you to customize the Ideas and Feedback portal to the language that best meets your needs. Based on our customers’...
The next release of RadControls for WindowsPhone is near and I would like to shed some light on what we have been working on in the last three months. In this blog post I'll just highlight the new goodies, more details will be available later as we approach to release. The first thing that I want to share is the work that we did to improve the total experience in creating applications with our tools. Matching the Metro design guidelines and designing your application to the highest Metro standards sometimes is hard and we decided to give you a major help in this...
“Click-Click-Click-Done” That’s how Joel Semeniuk, Executive VP of Agile Project Management at Telerik, defined “done” for our TeamPulse integration with the Team Foundation Server. Last Thursday we released the Service Pack to our R2 Release and it is exclusively focused on the integration with TFS. To meet Joel’s requirements, we created the Import Project from TFS wizard. The new Import Project from TFS wizard can be launched as soon as you start TeamPulse. And here is how the integration goes step by step.
Select a Project Once the connection to your server is established, you can decide which project to import ...

Welcome back to XAMLflix. This week we’ll take a look at RadGauge for Silverlight and WPF. XAMLFlix is Telerik’s way of teaching you how to use both new and existing controls from Telerik’s XAML suite. Every Tuesday and Thursday, we provide a fresh batch of videos and sample projects highlighting a different control, and on Wednesdays we provide a written tutorial. Since our Silverlight and WPF controls share a common codebase and API, you only have to learn how to use these controls once! You can simply copy and paste the code between frameworks. Be sure to check out www.telerik.com/xamlflix for all...
So you went to work for the cool company that wooed you with promises of cutting edge technologies and techniques. In the interview, they told you that they are agile and unit test everything. You may or may not have been in an agile environment before, but the important thing you are enthusiastic about joining a team that truly gets software development. You tested on your previous job, even using JustMock to write better tests. You promise you can be agile yourself and quickly adopt their practices. You’re immediately hired. Many of you have been there… maybe you’re there right now. It takes...
When I first started out developing web pages back in the day there barely were any tools for development outside of the IDEs that were offered, which weren’t too much to write home about anyways. While some might say that web pages that were manly cluttered with animated GIFs and content related to Warcraft 1 & 2 and Diablo 1 (tells you a lot about my child hood ;)) is not considered much of a web development project, I still say it is (or was) :D. Either way, you wrote your HTML, CSS (fairly new too) and JavaScript and hoped...
We decided to try a brand new concept for the next Agile Q&A Panel. It is called the Agile Buffet Table and will be held on May 24th, Thursday. The topic of the webinar will evolve around the fact that you don’t need to follow all agile principles per se.
