    SP1 of Telerik Reporting Q1 2011 Available; Brings Improved Performance in Silverlight and WPF

    Yesterday we dropped a new minor version of Telerik Reporting Q1 2011. Among the plentiful fixes, you will find some important improvements, aided to improve the overall operation of the product, both in design time and run time. Performance Improvements in Rendering Silverlight and WPF Reports The XAML rendering extension now uses a new lightweight mechanism that overcomes issues related to highly concurrent multi-threading applications. The new XAML rendering removes the STA thread requirement when generating Silverlight and WPF reports, which leads to improved performance and optimized server resources. The new rendering aims at improving the rendering speed of large SL and...

    Stir Trek Wrap Up

    Stir Trek was awesome. Where else can you get a full day of great content *and* watch Thor, all as part of one conference? Phil gave a new talk on "Testing Legacy Code" that covered the patterns and tools needed to effectively work with software that is not adequately covered by unit or integration test. The slides and source code can be downloaded from his blog. He also demonstrated the features of JustMock (both the Free Edition and the Commercial Edition) during lunch as a vendor session, and the full version can be seen on Telerik TV.              Above are photos of the Thor display from the lobby and Phil...

    Test Studio Now Supports Desktop Testing. See it Firsthand at the Release Webinar

    As you might have already heard, Telerik shipped a new version of its automated testing tools last week. The release introduced the long-awaited support for testing WPF applications, as well as many other essential features, most of them requested by you, the customers. R1 2011 boosts the tools reporting capabilities, adds translators for pretty much all of the generic Microsoft WPF controls as well as most of the RadControls for WPF, and features a brand-new, richer and much simplified FindExpression UI. You’ll be happy to find out that we also added: support for Internet Explorer 9 and Firefox 4; run test...

    Reading/Writing cookies with HtmlPlaceholder for Silverlight

    Recently we received a support ticket with a question whether RadHtmlPlaceholder provides support for cookies. By default, RadHtmlPlaceholder doesn't have a mechanism for reading/writing cookies. However, with the right bits of JavaScript, everything is possible :) Imagine you have an HTML page which you want to read/write cookies to and all this has to happen from Silverlight. First, you need few JavaScript methods for reading/writing cookies. Let's call the page we want to read/write cookies to CookiesPage.html. <html>     <head>         <title>Cookies Page</title>         <script type="text/javascript">             // Create a cookie with the specified name and value             function SetCookie(name, value) {                 document.cookie = name + "=" + value;                 alert("Cookie successfully set");             }             // Retrieve the value of...

    Memory Leaks and Memory Consumption in web applications (Part 3)

    This post is number three in a three part series about memory consumption for web applications. Links to Part 1 and Part 2. Memory Consumption - Best Practices To be perfectly honest there is only one issue with memory consumption, i.e. using too much of it. Size does matter. Therefore every web developer should try and minimize the impact on the usage of memory, especially when the application tends to become huge. Web applications are becoming more and more client-side oriented and staying on one and the same page for hours should not be an exception. Therefore careful creation of new objects, managing the...

    Creating Validation with RadDatePicker and RadWindow for WP7

    When allowing users to select a date value in your applications, one of the obvious issues is ensuring that they aren’t allowed to pick a value like December 24th, 563.  Thankfully, the developers for our Windows Phone team have incorporated some properties to help prevent this.  Step 1 – Min and Max Value Properties The easy way to make this happen is to simply set a MinValue and MaxValue.  In our scenario, we will say that we are scheduling appointments for some event in the future, therefore we can easily set out MinValue and MaxValue either via Xaml: <telerikInput:RadDatePicker x:Name="xRadDatePicker"                             Grid.Row="1"                             VerticalAlignment="Center"                             MinValue="5-6-2011"                             MaxValue="11-6-2011"/>   Or since we can’t hard-code a...

    Telerik ASP.NET MVC Extensions: Upload Deep Dive

    Recently there have been quite a few questions popping up around our ASP.NET MVC upload component, specifically when working with it in synchronous mode. Although this variation of uploading files is not really too complex when compared to its asynchronous counter-part, I believe some of the confusion stems from the MVC syntax that is used in our online demo. My goal with this blog post is to provide a bit more clarity to what exactly is happening in this demo, mostly taking a look at the MVC syntax. Before we get started, open up our Synchronous Upload demo in your favorite...
