    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.

    StarEast 2012 Wrap Up

    I and four other Telerikers (Holly, May, Dan, and Jasper) just returned back to our respective homes after a few days at StarEast. Our booth at StarEast was busy the entire time!

Holly’s our organizer extraordinaire, May (our UX dev) got a lot of insight to how our users see the product, Jasper had many conversations with users about our feature set and potential new features, and Dan spent a lot of time talking with folks to introduce them to the awesomeness that is ...

    Does JustDecompile Contain Bundled Software?

    Some developers have been surprised to discover JustCode and JustTrace installed on their system after installing JustDecompile. Whereas most simply try out the tools or uninstall them, some have expressed concern that we’re bundling software in the installer. Suffice to say, we’re not. But, if we’re not bundling other products in the installer, what’s really going on? Web Installer Launcher When you download JustDecompile (which is free) or one of our trial products, you actually receive a lightweight web installer launcher. This program simply allows you accept the license agreements and select products. It then downloads the individual installers and runs them. Of course,...
