    At a Single Glance - Interpreting and Acting Upon Agile Project Metrics

    At a single glance. That’s what it should take to know when something isn’t right on your projects. Knowing that something is wrong with your project should be as easy as glancing at a visual indicator. You shouldn’t have to interpret anything. You shouldn’t have to be an expert in metrics or project analysis. You should easily be able to tell that something isn’t right … with a single glance. Monitor and control systems have been around since the dawn of innovation. We see these types of systems all over industry – simple and intuitive displays representing the health of ...

    It's Thursday again, which means we're ready for another installment of... XAMLflix!

    Introducing Printing Support for GridView and Scheduler for WinForms

    Have you ever wondered how to print your RadGridView and RadScheduler instances? I guess you have. Yet, this is one of the most voted features in our Public Issue Tracking System. The good news is that Q1 2012 is close and printing support for RadGridView and RadScheduler will be a part of it. This support will allow the end-user to directly pass RadGridView and RadScheduler data to the printer. S\he does not need to export the data to other formats in advance (PDF, Excel, etc.) in order to print it, nor should s\he scan his\her monitor :-) As always, we’ve made the printing...

    Telerik OpenAccess ORM – ASP.NET Web Forms Video Tutorials

    Besides the currently trending MVC framework, the traditional Web Forms are widely used for web applications development, so probably many of you are already familiar with them. OpenAccess ORM is an excellent choice for your Data Access Layer in such situation, as it is easy to integrate in just a few steps. We have already explained those steps in our new ASP.NET Development Guide, but we figured a visual representation of the same will be a faster and more pleasant way of learning what you need to know.   We have created two separate videos: for developing a Web Site using a Model First approach...

    A better way to view images in RadFileExplorer for ASP.NET AJAX – thumbnail view comes in Q1 2012

    Starting with the Q1 2012 release, the RadFileExplorer gets a new display mode - thumbnails. In this mode the grid with folder and file details is replaced with a listview, which shows the current folder in a display similar to the Windows File Explorer's medium icons view. The best scenario for this new display mode is when you want to display thumbnails of image files - these will be shown instead of the default image file icon we have in the control. Other supported files (e.g. office documents) will show up with normal icons.   The size of the thumbnail icons...

    Reset PageNumber per Report Group

    Download Telerik_Reporting_Reset_PageNumber_per_Group (C#) - 4.72 KB In Telerik Reporting, the PageNumber object can only be used in the page header and page footer sections. It contains the current page number and its value is increased with one for every new page. In some scenarios, it is useful to alter the page number based on a condition and the most frequent scenario being asked is resetting the PageNumber after each group. The powerful expression engine of Telerik Reporting allows you to accomplish this easily with the help of page aggregates and tiny bit of code. Basically the idea is to check what is the last group on a page and if it...
