RadGridView for WinForms conditional formatting – a matter of expressions
RadGridView provides numerous handful approaches to customize its appearance, even at runtime. For example, you could use formatting events or the Style property . However, sometimes it is handy to specify complex conditions in a script form. In our previous release we introduced an expression editor which allows for using formulas and expressions both at design time and runtime. In our next release we will introduce the same powerful feature for conditional formatting. You and your end-users will be able to target and style RadGridView cells and rows using powerful expressions. With the help of our existing rule-based conditional formatting you can easily highlight all cells... -

FOUJUI: Flash of Uninitialized JavaScript UI
One of the challenges that comes with pure JavaScript UI is a nasty little user experience problem that I'm calling "Flash of Uninitialized JavaScript UI," or FOUJUI (rolls right off the tongue). FOUJI, similar to FOUC, occurs when: Your rich UI is initialized by JavaScript You rely... -

Need Accessibility in Your ASP.NET AJAX Apps? You’re Already Covered
Here at Telerik accessibility support has always been important. We strive to ensure that when you are developing an application with our ASP.NET AJAX controls you can rest easy knowing that they provide compliance with some of the highest standards in the industry. Ease-of-mind and ease-of-implementation, does it get any better? :) Let’s take a look at just how we are making your applications more accessible. Accessibility Guidelines For a while now Telerik’s ASP.NET AJAX controls have been in compliance with the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0/2.0 (say that a few times fast!). These guidelines set standards for applications providing accessible content by... -

The LOB Chronicles Episode 9: The Repository Pattern + Source Code Is In!
In the last episode we were exploring how MEF created a unique issue in loading assemblies and missing dependencies as well as how we utilized a creative synchronous approach to ensuring assemblies were downloaded before loading modules. This week we’re pushing full speed ahead with the application and what we have to show (more on that later), but before we start highlighting the UI work being done I thought it would be good to take an episode to discuss how we’re handling data within the application. As you might have guessed from the title this involves the Repository Pattern. Repository Pattern... -

Boldly Looking Forward with Silverlight, WPF, WP7, and Xaml
Now that the dust has settled from Build, we’re all back to our day jobs and still working on the same Silverlight, WPF, and Windows Phone projects that we were working on before Build. As you might have read from Todd, Doug, Vassil, Steve, or Silverlight experts like Jeremy, Dan, and Laurent, the sky has in fact not fallen and the future for .Net development on the non-Metrofied Windows 8 desktop is alive and well. On top of that, since most of us are working on projects in the here and now and want support for multiple versions of... -

Telerik OpenAccess ORM, MVC Extensions, and Dynamics!
While playing around with OpenAccess the other day, I wondered if it would be possible to have OpenAccess return a dynamic list, and if so, could I bind it to an MVC grid without specifying any columns names. This could prove to be helpful in some reporting scenarios, where you just want the grid to output whatever a sproc, or query, returns. This blog shows how to accomplish just that! Step 1 To accomplish this task we will be taking advantage of the ADO API we released in Q2 2011. To start out I simply created an extension method for the OpenAccessContext, which...October 05, 2011 3 min read -

Using CORS with All (Modern) Browsers
CORS is cool. Cross-Origin Resource Sharing is a (slowly) emerging technology for the web that finally gives async web operations a way to directly grab resources from different domains. In fact, I've already talked about it a couple of times on the Kendo UI blogs here and here. By... -
Web ASP.NET AJAX
Client-Side Hierarchical DataBinding to OData with RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX
If you haven't heard, Odata is a Web protocol that exposes your data to the Web, allowing consumers to make queries through a set of URI parameters. RadGrid, Telerik's ASP.NET AJAX Grid control features a rich client-side API that enables you to easily bind to OData services and have all the paging, sorting and filtering done without ever posting the page to the server. That is all fine if your data is flat. Binding to hierarchical data, however, is another story. RadGrid officially supports hierarchical databinding on the server only. But let's go unofficial for a while. In this blog post we'll demonstrate an approach for detail table databinding...
