    Palette support in RadChart for Windows Phone

      We are working hard to improve our charting component for Windows Phone 7 and to make it more and more feature-rich. And we are happy to share that as of Service Pack 1 of the Mango build of our tools, RadChart gets “Palette” support. A Palette may be thought of as a collection of brushes that define the look-and-feel of chart series and data points. The API is quite flexible and allows you to create custom palette or to select from the built-in ones. Two predefines palettes are currently available – Contrast and Warm. To simplify the usage we have created a smart...

    Day 2: Building a Metro App with Visual Studio 11 Express

    Yesterday I blogged about using my Windows 8 tablet as my main machine for work and device for play. Today I will share my experience in using the device for building a Metro app. The first application that I ever wrote was 19 years ago for the Timex Sinclair 1000. (I can’t believe that I am that old!) I’ve come a long way now writing for a touch enabled device (but the TS 1000 was about the same size of an iPad.). Keeping with tradition, I will write a simple “Hello World” and see how it goes. Step 1: Load Visual Studio Sounds easy, right? Remember this is Windows...

    Bend Telerik OpenAccess ORM to Your Will With Type Converters – Part 1

    In Q1 2011, Telerik OpenAccess ORM introduced a flexible type conversion system. This type conversion system allows developers to instruct OpenAccess on how to map types that it may not support out of the box. This feature makes it possible for OpenAccess to work with built in UDTs, such as SQL Spatial and XML, as well as any custom UDTs developers create. What is a User Defined Type? SQL Server 2005 introduced user-defined types (UDTs). UDTs extend the SQL type system by allowing you to store objects and custom data structures in a SQL Server database. UDTs can contain multiple data types...

    Day 1 at the office with my Windows 8 Developer Tablet

    Today was my first day back in the office for my job at Telerik and I decided that I would try an experiment. I would use only my Windows 8 tablet that I received at the Build conference last week for both my work and play. I put away my Lenovo laptop (for work) and my iPad (for reading in bed) and decided I would use only the tablet for the next few days. The tablet came with a Bluetooth keyboard and dock, so I put that together and started to play around.   The first thing that I realized is that the traditional Windows “Start” menu is gone, completely replaced by...

    MbUnit 3 and Gallio Support for JustCode

    The unit test runner in Telerik JustCode has supported five different unit testing frameworks: MSTest, xUnit, NUnit 2.5, MSPec, and MbUnit 2.4. MbUnit 3 is significantly different than prior iterations by having a different underlying engine: the Gallio Test Automation Platform. The newly released service pack for JustCode supports this framework, allowing you to take advantage of its many features. You can get started with MbUnit 3 with the assemblies provided by JustCode or downloading and installing the latest Gallio package. Afterwards, create a class library and add references to the Gallio and MbUnit assemblies. These can be found in %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Telerik\JustCode\Libraries\Extensions or the GAC...

    Telerik OpenAccess ORM – What’s new in the latest internal build

    On 12.09.2011 we released the so anticipated OpenAccess ORM internal build 2011.02.0908 that contained a few very important improvements and fixes for our customers: - Support for SQL Azure 11.x.

Some details for this update can be found in Richard Mitchell’s blog post as well as how it can affect third party tools in the MSDN Blogs.
