Introducing Industry's First Touch API for Windows Forms components
We are very proud to be the first (and still only) Windows Forms component suite to provide full multi-touch support and API. As discussed in the sneak peek blog Get Ready to Touch’n’Roll with RadControls for WinForms, the powerful touch API that our components expose allow you to handle the touch gestures that occur on the screen and take some actions depending on what your touch scenario is. Now that Q3 2011 is a fact, allow us to introduce the main aspects of the touch API. These aspects will allow you to unleash the power of windows forms under touch-enabled devices,...November 25, 2011 -

OData Binding for Navigation Controls (ASP.NET AJAX)
Nowadays, it is more and more common for web developers to utilize RESTfull like services in their projects. There is nothing surprising in that, since in the nature of REST is to provide uniform interface to access the data. One may ask, what uniform means at all? Well simply said, all operations have the same meaning across all the resources they can act on. OData in turn, is a protocol that exposes your data to the web in a simple, RESTlike manner. A consumer can query the data via set of URL parameters and receive a response in the JSON format, which is native...November 25, 2011 -

Telerik OpenAccess ORM – Stored Procedure Editor essentials
Before Q3 2011 was live we have introduced you one of the major new functionalities you can find in the release – the new Stored Procedure Editor. It is the tool that allows us now to present our stored procedure support as feature complete. Along with the visual interface the Editor is offering, we have enhanced the functionality that was available in previous OpenAccess ORM versions generating automatically methods in the OpenAccessContext that are calling stored procedures. The old version of this code generation used to produce methods such as this one: // Old code generation public object[] GetCarsDetails(string carMake) { SqlParameter parameterCarMake = new SqlParameter("CarMake",...November 25, 2011 -

Web ASP.NET AJAX
RadAsyncUpload for ASP.NET AJAX Revisited
File API and Drag and Drop RadAsyncUpload has undergone significant changes since it's initial release back in Q1 2010. With the advent of the HTML 5 FileAPI and the updates to the XMLHttpRequest object, it is now easier than ever to utilize AJAX mechanisms when uploading files, a practice that was hardly possible prior to that. As you may have expected, RadAsyncUpload is not lagging behind these concepts and since Q2 2011 it utilizes a FileAPI module, which is now the default one under FireFox 4.0+, Safari 5+ and Google Chrome and will be used by default in the upcoming IE10. The File API module provides all functionalities provided by the other modules (multiple...November 24, 2011 -

Organize Your Tests, Part II: Use Metadata!
In my last post I talked about some ways to organize your tests to help keep things clear and discoverable. My pal Adam Goucher, one of the top Selenium folks around, took me to task me via mail (in a friendly way!) that tags and metadata are a critical part of organizing your tests. I agree, but with a subtle difference. Tags and other forms of metadata are great for helping you categorize your tests, but I think they come in to play more when you’re trying to execute your tests versus organize your tests on the file system. ...November 23, 2011
