    BUILD Day 2 Keynote: What You Need to Know

    With the California sun now rising in the sky, it's time for another fresh day of BUILD and the all important Day 2 keynote. Like yesterday, rather than compete with the live video stream, I've real-time condensed today's keynote in to the key moments you need to get the overall jist of what Microsoft shared. This isn't a blow-by-blow blog of the keynote, but if you spend 5 minutes reviewing this post, you'll know what you need to know from the second BUILD keynote. Key Keynote Moments Windows 8 Tablet Distraction Not explicitly said or part of the keynote, it's worth...

    Create Blood Pressure Chart with RadChart for Silverlight

    This blog post will demonstrate how to achieve blood pressure graph visualization with the use of a RangeBar Chart type. Blood pressure is measured as two separate values - systolic (maximum) and diastolic (minimum). A common way to visualize these measures is a vertical bar with an arrow pointing the systolic (maximum) and an up arrow for the diastolic (minimum) respectively. It is measured several times over a period, as it’s important (from a clinical standpoint) to track any change in the values. For the purpose the default RangeBar’s Style is retemplated. The Width of the Bars (“PART_DefiningGeometry”) is reduced so that...

    BUILD Day 1: What wasn't said?

    Silence speaks volumes. While there is coverage ad nauseum about what Microsoft did say at today's opening keynote and following sessions, there is much less attention on what's not being said. True, there is another keynote scheduled for tomorrow, and presumably many additional topics will be covered (like tooling and ALM), but certain important topics are conspicuously absent from the Day 1 conversations. The Missing Topics Silverlight and WPF? It's clear after today that Metro style XAML apps are Microsoft's vision of the future, but what does that mean for the future of Silverlight and WPF? Of course, SL and...

    TeamPulse TFS Sync Tips & Tricks

    In my previous post I went into detail about how TFS process templates affect the sync process and in this post I’ll give some pointers on how to make the TFS sync experience in TeamPulse even better by explaining some of the finer points and also show you how to make sync work faster. You can test the TFS sync by downloading the TeamPulse trial and installing it on your machine. Using a TFS query to speed up sync If you have a big project, as we do, the sync process can take a while. The part that takes the ...

    Top 10 Moments from BUILD Day 1 Keynote

    When a keynote is being streamed live to the interwebs, there's really little point in live blogging. Back when I first started Telerik Watch, live streaming events were very rare, so live blogs made more sense. That said, if you're like me, sometimes you don't have time to suffer through a 90 minute event just to catch the few bits of interesting news. What you really want is a summary that tells you everything you need to know to capture the overall jist and important news in a few short minutes. Thus, this post. Rather than bring you blow-by-blow typed updates as the...

    Mango and System.Reflection.Emit – new optimizations in RadControls for Windows Phone

    One of the tasty new features of the new “Mango” update of the Windows Phone developer tools is the presence of System.Reflection.Emit. This allows us, developers, to do some nice tricks to boost the overall app performance in corner cases. As some of you may be familiar with our RadChart for Windows Phone API, there are two types of DataPoint bindings, allowing you to MVVM-bind the chart:  PropertyNameDataPointBinding GenericDataPointBinding<T, TResult>  As the name hints, the first type of binding uses the name of a property in order to retrieve the corresponding value, while the second one uses a generic Func<T, TResult> delegate to get...
