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that long since I wrote a post on “Telerik in Numbers” (almost 10 months to date), and that blog content feels very out of date.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.... -

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... -

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... -

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... -

How to set a custom height for RadButton and RadFormDecorated buttons in ASP.NET AJAX
Lately we’ve been receiving one question quite often - is it possible to increase the RadButton and / or RadFormDecorator’s button default height. Usually people are trying to set the needed value to the Height property: <telerik:RadFormDecorator runat="server" DecoratedControls="All" /> <asp:Button runat="server" Text="RadForm Button" Height="40" /> <telerik:RadButton runat="server" Text="RadButton" Height="40"> </telerik:RadButton> But the result is not pretty: By default the RadButton as well as ASP Buttons and inputs of type=”button” decorated by the RadFormDecorator are visually built with sprite images that apply a specific gradient to the element. The sprite image has a specific height, which means you cannot just change the button’s height property because the sprite image will be either cut off or... -

One Second ~ 7% Customer Conversion Loss
What does one second of performance degradation in web and e-commerce applications cost? It depends, but according to the Aberdeen Group (June, 2008 Benchmark report), customers are won or lost in just one second, based solely on the performance of the web or e-commerce application. Just this single second of delay for an online retail site equates to a “seven percent reduction in customer conversion” and thus lost revenue, seven percent! Telerik Test Studio Performance test can help customers achieve a higher level of web or e-commerce performance, and mediate this risk.May 27, 2021 1 min read
