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... -

Filtering Custom Types with RadGridView for Silverlight / WPF
If you want to filter a column that is data-bound to a custom type, you need to make sure that your custom type meets certain criteria. 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 ...May 27, 2021 4 min read -

What's New in the RichTextBox for Silverlight/WPF?
The first release of 2012 is already a fact and even though this Q has been shorter due to the shift in the release dates which Todd Anglin blogged about, we managed to include some long-awaited improvements and new features. The first and most important change is that RadRichTextBox now supports multiple sections in the document. To see how it works, you can open the Silverlight demo, choose the Page Layout tab from the RibbonUI and click “Breaks”. Inserting a section break will split the current section into two, providing the option to format the two parts differently. Section breaks are extremely... -

Native Binary Excel Export Made Its Way to Our ASP.NET TreeList
Q1 2012 brings yet another popular export format to the already rich set of TreeList features. This time, we added support for the Microsoft Excel format. The exported files are based on the binary BIFF standard and hereby they are fully compatible with virtually all versions of Microsoft Excel and most of the XLS BIFF compatible software. Another benefit is that you will be able to access the output file using the widely popular OleDB Jet provider. Similar to the PDF export, you can apply custom styles in two different ways – using the built-in item styles (ItemStyle, HeaderStyle and the... -

What’s New in the Beta Metro/JS Templates for VS11
A blog by Chris Sells, VP of Tools & Frameworks at Telerik. (Original post here) The Consumer Preview of Windows 8 (aka the Win8 beta) is now available for download, along with the matching Visual Studio 11 beta. You can download them both from the Developer Center for Metro style Apps and at least when I did the downloading this morning, it was smooth and worked well. In case you’re interested, I downloaded the ISO, not the setup, and I am currently writing this blog entry in Windows Live Writer running inside a WMWare Workstation 8.0 virtual machine running on the Windows 7 host OS running inside Boot... -
