New refactorings in JustCode
In the last versions of Telerik JustCode we added some nice features that will help you quickly refactor your code, so let’s start right away. Convert If To Switch Statement JustCode now detects the if-statements that can be converted to a switch statement and suggests doing it for you. Place your cursor on the if-statement and hit Alt+Enter or choose the F menu from VisualAid, select ‘Convert if to switch statement’. Convert If To Conditional Expression Another if conversion that we added is to convert an if-statement to a conditional expression (or ternary operator as some people call it).

The Financial Face of RadChart for Windows Phone
The Q3 2011 BETA release of RadControls for Windows Phone is on its way (expected within several days) and I cannot wait to share what’s new in our charting component. Along with several important bug fixes reported by our users, two brand new series that bring the financial charting to your applications are included.

Test Studio’s R2 Release: Simplifying the Complex
Testing and software development are complex enough without your tools getting in the way. I’m particularly excited at how Test Studio’s R2 release kept a number of critical pieces of functionality crisp, clean, and simple while giving you great power to focus on essential portions of your quality program. Performance Testing: Focusing on Critical Information Perhaps the centerpiece of our R2 release is our new Performance Testing feature. You can now easily use any automated functional test to gather performance metrics on that specific slice of your application. You don’t need to change the test in any way, and you ...October 20, 2011 4 min read -

Command Line Support and More in JustDecompile
Although the command prompt has fallen out of vogue in the past few years, developers and power users alike invoke cmd when a job calls for finesse. Command line support is also essential for many scripting and automation languages, such as MSBuild. JustDecompile has the ability to export code directly from the command prompt. For ease of use, I recommend adding %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Telerik\JustDecompile\Libraries to your path. To decompile an assembly from the prompt, use the command JustDecompile.exe /out:[OutputDirectory] /target:[PathAndAssemblyName]. This currently only supports csharp, but in the future the /lang switch will enable you to target other languages. You may find yourself wanting to... -

After a long journey through building up various aspects of the CRM demo here in the LOB Chronicles, we’re finally at the point that we can start talking about the different controls that we are using to better display and organize data within the application.

This time around we’re going to start taking a closer look at what controls from the RadControls... -
