    Improved Upgrade Wizard

    When creating our Visual Studio Extensions, accelerating development with our components has been the number one goal. One of the VS Extensions’ core components is the Upgrade Wizard. The task it was designed to fulfill is making the mundane job of updating your projects faster and easier. As the Upgrade Wizard has been in the wild for quite some time now, we’ve received a lot of feedback from customers using our various products. Even though it has been doing a pretty good job, there is always room for improvement. The two most popular feature requests were: Add support for upgrading Class Library...

    The new RadRibbonView and why you should use it instead of the old RadRibbonBar

    With the Q2 release of the RadControls for Silverlight and WPF we are announcing the new RadRibbonView control.

But all of you that are already familiar with our RadControls for Silverlight and WPF will say: “But what happened with the RadRibbonBar? Isn’t it the same and why we need a new one?” So in this blog post I will try to list the most significant improvements in the new control compared...

    Toolbox Grouping with Telerik RadControls

    Introduced with the 2011 Q2 Release of the RadControls for AJAX, WinForms, WPF and Silverlight is the new Toolbox Grouping functionality. Controls in the toolbox will be delivered in multiple tabs, organized by type and role, right after installation.   The users of the Toolbox Configurator wizard will also benefit from the improvement. For those who aren’t familiar, it can be found under the Visual Studio Telerik menu. Using the toolbox configurator will add the items in the toolbox organized in groups, although the old ‘one-tab’ look will still apply for previous releases. If you find it hard to keep...

    TelerikSPRadGrid Q2 2011 New Features and Improvements

    The Q2 2011 release is already in sight and bringing along some new features and fair improvements for the TelerikSPRadGrid Web Part.

All of this call-up information is used to produce...

    Q2 2011 Xaml Tools - RadRichTextBox

    Moving further into our discussion of controls as “tools” that we utilize, we want to take a look at RadRichTextBox and see just how it provides an amazing out-of-the-box rich text editing experience. One of the first questions we often hear when demoing this control to people is “That isn’t Word?”, meaning that our team has done a pretty good job of setting up the control to look and perform like everyone’s favorite Office document editing solution.  Now we can take a look at just how easy it is to get started with “This isn’t Word?” and some of the...

    How can we commit if we don't have all requirements?

    I get asked this a lot.  Project Managers are asked to provide full project plans and are asked to commit to this plan.  In order for Project Managers to feel good about this, we try to get all of the requirements up front.  This allows them to derive a schedule and a cost for developing these requirements.  This makes perfect sense right?  If that’s the case, how in the world can an Agile team commit to a project that has a fixed cost and schedule?  Here is the assumption – if we figure out the requirements – we can derive ...
