    RadOrgChart for ASP.NET AJAX levels up in Q1 2012

    Introduction One of the newest members to the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX family, Telerik’s ASP.NET AJAX Organizational Chart control is still green and growing. In its first release we equipped it with the most crucial tools it needed to be successful in the outside world. In Q1 2012 RadOrgChart leveled up and added two other important tools to its belt: Drag-and-drop in both binding modes - simple and group-enabled; Expand/collapse behavior for nodes; Drag-and-drop Simple Binding When data-bound to simple hierarchical data the user can reorder nodes (people) in the hierarchy by being guided by nice visual clues depicting the availability and the result of the current drop...

    by Francois Vanderseypen and Miroslav Miroslavov » Full source code of the demo application here The new RadDiagram framework brings, together with a host of new exciting things in Telerik's 2012 Q1 release, a new world of possibilities to the WPF and Silverlight community.

It’s an invitation to augment and customize the RadDiagram toolset in function of your application and business context. That said, we have to tell you straight away that RadDiagram, as released with Q1, is...

    JustCode formatter versus Visual Studio formatter

    In one of our previous blog posts, covering JustCode formatter and code style options, we began looking at one of JustCode's great code formatting features. In this post we will make a comparison to the Visual Studio formatter and give a more detailed explanation of JustCode Code Style settings. JustCode formatter compared to VS formatter The JustCode formatter can be executed for the whole solution, a project, all files in a given directory, a single file, and user selection. It is also used internally when JustCode generates code for you. Code Cleaner, another great feature of JustCode, has a cleaning step to execute the...

    Structured Content Editing with RichTextBox for Silverlight/WPF

    Or How to Store Semantic Information In Documents Through Custom Annotations When we develop RadRichTextBox’s API, we always try to make it as extensible as possible. One of the most popular demands was the option to store “meta” information about parts of the document which is not directly visible by the user. The technique that most developers attempted to implement was to extend the document model and use custom document elements (Spans, Paragraphs, etc.). This approach, however, is not quite reliable, because RadDocument controls the lifecycle of all document elements while editing the content in RadRichTextBox and the document structure is only...

We will use the type Person as an example. public class Person {     private readonly string name;     private int age;     public string Name     {         get { return this.name; }     }     public int Age     {         get { return this.age; }         set { this.age = value;...

    4.5 Tips for Working With Tests in Tables

    Many applications render data in tables; writing tests for table-based data is a very common task. Unless you approach it with a bit of preparation, it’s also a task that can easily result in you building very brittle tests. Consider the following grid which displays a list of contacts after having taken actions elsewhere in the system. (I’m using a Telerik RadGrid for AJAX in this example, by the way.) Perhaps one of our tests is to verify Jayne Cobb appears in the table. I can easily do that in two steps via a recorded step. Easy! The problem is ...
