    Telerik Loves Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2012 RTMs!

    Yesterday’s release of Visual Studio 2012 and Blend for Visual Studio 2012 marks the beginning of a new era. In some ways, VS2012 and Blend are incremental releases, adding even better support for building enterprise and consumer apps and services for the desktop and the web. However, in one very important way, the release of VS2012 and Blend, together with the release of Windows 8 earlier this month, signals a whole new focus for the platform - that of touch-centric tablets - and with it, a whole new way to package and distribute apps for the Windows operating system - the Windows Store. If Windows 8 sells even half of...

    Windows 8 & Data Binding. Part 4–Data Conversion

    In Part 3 of this little mini-series on data binding in Windows 8 we looked at Element Binding. Today, we’ll take a look at Data Conversion. At times the data in your business object (the source for your binding) and the target UIElement may not have an exact type match. For example, if your Employee class wants to keep track of the start date for each Employee, a sensible way to do so is with a DateTime object. However, when we display that data we’ll want to use a Text object, and we may not want the entire default conversion of...

    Google Rocking the London Startup Scene

    While I was in London last week, Telerik’s UK Country Manager and I took some time to visit the Google Campus, a massive co-working and startup incubation space. There are six floors of co-working space where you can apply to be a resident if you are a startup based in London and an awesome cafeteria/coffee shop where anyone can come in for the day. On the top floor is Google’s offices. Even though Telerik has a London office, we registered online and spent a day working at the co-work space, mostly to get a feel for the co-work space and check out the scene. (Also, Telerik’s KendoUI was...

    Test Studio’s Love for Visual Studio 2012 (RTM)

    You can tell the VS team has an appreciation for Test Studio because they’ve went with our color scheme for the VS 2012’s artwork: As you may already know Visual Studio 2012 is here. And the answer to the question you’re probably asking yourself is:   “Yes, Telerik’s Test Studio fully integrates with Visual Studio 2012” That’s right – VS 2012 is now officially part of the Test Studio-integrated family (alongside VS 2008 and VS 2010). Hooray!     Testing-wise the major change in Visual Studio 2012 is that Test View is gone. Instead we have the Test Explorer. We recommend that you checkout this...

    Creating A RadCartesianChart – Line Graph

    In this post, I will explore creating a line chart using the RadCartesianChart from the Telerik Windows 8 UI Controls.  You can Download Telerik Widows 8 Controls here. Figure 1 shows the chart we wish to build. This is a linear chart built with a RadCartesianChart. It represents revenue for the last six months of 2012, The best way to approach building a line chart (or any chart) is to start with the data you wish to display. In this case, we will use mock data representing Monthly Revenue earned from July through December 2012. The class that will hold our data...

    Data Binding In Windows 8. Part 3–Element Binding

    In my previous post, I discussed the three modes of DataBinding for Windows 8. Today we’ll take a brief look at binding not to data, but rather binding one UI element to the value of another.  In this example, we’ll bind the IsActive property of the ProgressRing to the IsChecked property’s value in a CheckBox.  <StackPanel> <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Left" > <TextBlock ...
