    Overcoming the New Visual Studio UI

    A blog by Doug Seven, Executive Vice President at Telerik. (Original post here) In a blog post last week, Monty Hammontree, the Director of User Experience for Visual Studio, announced the UI refresh for Visual Studio. This is a project that I had some involvement in (mostly as a reviewer) while still at Microsoft, and have been waiting patiently for this announcement so that I could talk about it. Personally I love the new UI. Sure, its not perfect, but it is a huge improvement over where Visual Studio has been for the past ten years. What is surprising to me is...

    There is an overabundance of tools on the market today. Some of these tools span across various landscape areas of development processes where some tool choices only target specific areas. “The application development software market will grow modestly through 2015, when it will reach $10.1 billion in revenue.

    Codeless OData Binding for Telerik's Scheduler Control ASP.NET AJAX

    In the previous series of OData binding related posts we introduced OData support for our Grid, ListView and navigation controls. Well, it is time for a new control to utilize such binding. I am happy to announce that forth from Q2 2012 one can easily bind the Telerik's ASP.NET Ajax Scheduler to OData exposed feed using simple markup. Why OData One may ask why OData when it is possible to expose AppointmentData objects via simple ASMX/WCF service and have the Scheduler directly bound? Well, the OData binding gives you the freedom to bind against any JSON structure, as long as the core scheduler Data...

    What’s New in Telerik JustTrace Q1 2012

    Our Q1 2012 release cycle has been very exciting! All of the Just products received features and enhancements, and we used the opportunity to officially launch JustDecompile. But so far, we’ve been rather quiet on JustTrace, and the JustTrace team has been working hard to add features that will best help you track down performance and memory issues in your application. We recently added the capability for finding the largest memory retainers, refactored the live data view, and introduced new capabilities for profiling Silverlight applications. If you caught the webinar, you did get to see the latter in action, but here’s...

    First Impressions: Visual Studio 11 Beta and the Telerik Report Designer

    In a few days, VS11 Beta will be revealed. This release is big for Microsoft, not only from a technological standpoint, but also from the experience it will give developers. The new UI is so substantial, that there is a dedicated post on it in the Visual Studio Blogs: (source) When Microsoft revealed the first ribbon interface back in 2007, there were some speculations that this interface may make it into Visual Studio 2010. Obviously, this did not happen for an logical reason - the ribbon interface is slick, visual, easy to use, but requires more screen estate, and in some cases...

    Telerik OpenAccess ORM - It's all about the speed

    An object relational mapper is about developer productivity, about the ability to quickly and easily make changes to your model, about integrated change tracking, caching and moving to other databases easily. It is also about speed. In this blog post I will try to explain the most common questions about OpenAccess in regards to performance and how you can improve it. The OpenAccessContext When using OpenAccess you always start with a type that derives from OpenAccessContext. Creating an instance of that type is a lightweight operation, typically in the order of a dictionary lookup. Then you execute your first LINQ query, and...

    Testing Framework Documentation

    Or, in the vernacular, “Dude! Where are my .CHMs?” In order to streamline the Test Studio installers, we’re no longer delivering the Telerik Testing Framework standalone help files bundled in with the download. Instead of a 100MB or larger download, we’re at 52MB – that’s a really nice improvement! This only impacts teams that are working directly with the Testing Framework or are leveraging coded steps or tests within Test Studio Standalone or Express. In those cases you’ll still be able to find the complete API reference straight from the Online User Guide section of the Help tab: Click there ...
