RadControls for WinForms Q1 2011 Service Pack 1 is Out
Q1 2011 proved to be a successful release for RadControls for WinForms. With the introduction of the revamped RadTreeView and the new control RadWizard the Telerik WinForms suite continues on being the ultimate Windows Forms suite. Despite the fact that the new features are mature enough, they needed only a small finishing touch – a touch that your feedback made possible. It is our pleasure to announce the first Service Pack of Q1 2011 which finalized the recently introduced features and even added a few more. Among the highlights of the release are: • RadListControl now supports binding to business objects containing sub...April 20, 2011 -

Setting advanced runtime options
There are various properties that govern how the OpenAccess ORM runtime behaves. The default values for these settings usually suffice for most situations. In case you need to tweak some settings, this can be done via the ‘Backend settings’ tab in the ‘Model settings’ dialog available in the Visual Studio designer. These options are broadly divided into 4 categories (here you can find more information about this dialog and the settings available): Runtime configuration Tracing & logging Second level cache Connection pool When any setting is changed in this dialog and the .rlinq file is saved, OpenAccess generates the appropriate code to set...April 20, 2011 -

TileView Selection
I’m happy to announce that with the Q1 2011 SP1 release RadTileView will have yet another new and amazing feature – selection. This will allow you to mark, group or highlight your TileViewItems with a single click. The TileView selection supports three modes: Single – this is the default selection mode and it is the simplest one as well. In this mode you select/deselect an item by a single left mouse button click and you can’t have more that one selected item. Multiple – this is similar to the Single mode, the only difference is that you can select more that one item. Extended – this...April 19, 2011 -

It’s been an exciting day at the Great Indian Developer Conference, here in Bengaluru. We are really glad that our new Indian friends seemed to love our .NET Ninja baseball caps. Below you can see pictures of them wearing the Ninja hats at the opening keynote. Then came our drawing for a free laptop and licenses. And trust me this part was exciting. We had so many people that at some point I got a bit scared that the booth could tip over :-). A big thanks to all who came and congratulations to the winners. Check out the pictures, as...April 19, 2011 -

Limit Step Execution by Browser.....AND VERSION.
So here it is, the first post about what is coming in the forthcoming R1 2011 Test Studio release. You can now set test steps to execute against specific browsers and even specific versions of those browsers. To run a test only against Internet Explorer 9, simply select the test step, adjust the 'RunAgainst' property to 'InternetExplorerOnly', then set the 'RunsAgainstVersion' property to '9' and lastly 'RunsAgainstVersionCompare' to 'Equals'. That's all there is to it - the step will now be executed when you playback in IE9, however it will be ...April 18, 2011 -

Telerik Data Virtualization, WCF RIA Services and Visual Studio Async CTP
Last week (MIX 2011), Microsoft released the second Visual Studio Async CTP and I’ve decided to give it a try and implement one of my blog posts related to our Silverlight Data Virtualization with WCF RIA Services. To do this I’ve made two extension methods for DomainContext: LoadAsync<T>() and CountAsync<T>(). The first method will return the entities from a EntityQuery<T> and the second will return asynchronously count for the specified query. And here is the result: As you can see the only hardcoded value here is LoadSize for the virtual collection and everything else is retrieved and applied asynchronously using...April 18, 2011 -

RadDragAndDropManager - What's in a Drag Cue?
Every once in a while a customer will come to us and ask about a particular piece of functionality in one of the RadControls for Silverlight or RadControls for WPF that isn't covered in the demos, documentation, or videos. Just this week, one of the fans on our Telerik Facebook page did just that - specifically asking whether you could use a certain type of layout panel for the drag cue of RadDragAndDropManager. Normally in a case like this, I want to say "Yeah, it's just a DataTemplate in Silverlight/WPF, so you could do almost anything there!" But we're developers, and code speaks...April 15, 2011
