    Fun with Remote Data and the Kendo UI Grid

    Love them or hate them, grids are a staple of user interfaces. While jQuery has made UI engineering remarkably easier on most of us, the grid is still a very iffy scenario when designing for the web. I have used jqGrid in the past on a...

    Thanks for Visiting Telerik at Basta Germany

    As every year Telerik sponsored the biggest .NET developer conference in Germany, BASTA. It was good to see that the number of attendees has grown again keeping us pretty busy on our booth.

    RadBulletGraph for Windows Phone 7

    The Q2 2011 SP1 release is already out and it includes many improvements and fixes for the existing controls promised to our customers, however, it also includes a brand new component that is in the beta stage - RadBulletGraph. The bullet graph is a component for data visualization that succinctly and accurately visualizes a comparison between different data in a quantitative and qualitative manner. A full specification of the bullet graph component can be found here. The great thing about the bullet graph is that it takes the linear subset of the gauges and uses it so that the information is visualized clearly and concisely...
