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. Faster Data-Binding to SharePoint Lists SPRadGrid’s data-binding to SharePoint Lists has been completely reworked to take advantage of the Dynamic Linq library and the SharePoint Collaborative Markup Language. SPRadGrid’s filtering and sorting expressions are now converted into CAML queries to produce quicker data retrieval whereas the paging operations have been re-tailored along the lines of RadGrid’s custom paging so that no uncalled-for data is pulled from the underlying data store. 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 ... -

Silverlight is Dead, Long Live XAML
by Stephen Forte (This article is a re-post from the Stephen Forte's Blog) A few weeks ago I was in the Telerik cafeteria at our world headquarters in Sofia, Bulgaria, and a colleague walked up to me and asked: "Is Silverlight dead?" I replied: "No, but it has seen better days." Since Silverlight's absence from last year's Professional Developers Conference (PDC) in Redmond, WA, the infamous "our strategy has shifted" comment made by Microsoft Server and Tools Division President Bob Muglia, Scott Guthrie's move out of DevDiv, and the recent reorg of the XAML team, the community has been in an uproar assuming that Silverlight... -

Introducing RadPropertyGrid for WinForms
Following our WPF and Silverlight suites, it is our pleasure to present you another great member of the Telerik WinForms family – RadPropertyGrid. RadPropertyGrid for WinForms displays the properties of a given object in a user-friendly way allowing the end-user to edit these properties using our editors. Now you can concentrate all the settings in one place instead of scattering them all over your forms. RadPropertyGrid gives the end-user the ability to filter, group and sort its items thanks to our data processing engine. RadPropertyGrid takes full advantage of the virtualization mechanism, so even if you load an object with... -

RadListPicker for Windows Phone 7 greatly optimized
A while ago, when we were designing the architecture of RadListPicker for Windows Phone, we thought that the most common scenario to use the control is with 5 – 20 items at most. That is why we decided not to implement any virtualization techniques and all the items, both in the inline and the popup parts were realized upon control load. The user feedback however was different – we received many requests for a faster list picker, which can easily deal with 50 – 250 or even more items. And we listened to our users – as of Q2 2011 our... -

Fun with RadLoopingList: Horizontal looping
With RadControls for Windows Phone 7 Q2 2011 Beta 2 we have extended the feature set of RadLoopingList by adding support for horizontal looping: there is now a new Orientation property which can be set to either Vertical or Horizontal. We have also prepared a nice example in our Telerik Demos app (available on the WP7 Marketplace) which uses RadLoopingList to build a picture gallery that shows gallery items in a movie strip: Since some of you asked us to explain how this example was built, I decided to put it in a blog by giving all the steps you need... -
