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... -

XAMLflix Introduces RadZipLibrary
Hello everyone and welcome back to XAMLflix with RadZipLibrary for Silverlight and WPF. I hope you have been enjoying the series as last week we took a look at the RadHTMLPlaceholder and RadBreadCrumb Controls. 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... -

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. Caroline has worked at large companies for a long time and is also responsible for several aspects of corporate communications in her current role. 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... -

Communication struggles at a small company
I’ve spent my entire career at start-ups. I’m use to small. I once worked at a big table with everyone else employed at the company, resulting in pure bliss. One company that I started with three other guys got up to eight people before we were sold to a company with close to 7,000 people in 40 countries. I am most comfortable working side by side with my colleagues; unfortunately over the last 10 years it has not really worked out that way. Ten years ago I started Corzen with my partner Bruce. Our first office was the Starbucks on 6th and W 57th street in Manhattan. We got...
