Save Development Time with the Theme Viewer for RadControls for WinForms
With the number of the themes in our suite constantly increasing (two more are coming in Q1 2011) it will surely take some time to review all of them for the different controls. This may sound like a simple problem, however the plot thickens when you are creating a new theme and you would like to know whether your forms look properly with your custom theme, and whether you are not missing an unstyled element here and there. As a result, in Q1 2011 we will introduce a new tool that solve these issues for you, and will save you time... -

To find out just how lucky you are (Irish or not) right now, type “a pleasant surprise for windows phone developers” in Google and check the first result you see.

We promise you’ll be celebrating the pot of gold saved at the end of this rainbow-a-la-Google-search. :-) For the less-up-to-speed, Telerik RadControls for Windows Phone are built from the ground up for the... -

RadGridView for Silverlight and WPF performance compared to Silverlight and WPF DataGrid
Just before our upcoming Q1 2011 release (next week) I’ve decided to check RadGridView performance compared to standard Silverlight and WPF DataGrid components and to test this I’ve declared a TabControl with two tabs - RadGridView in the first tab and a standard DataGrid in the second. Both grids are bound to collection with 1 million records. Having a collection with 1 million objects with many properties (for example 1000 properties) will consume a lot of memory and the creation will be insanely slow and that is why I’ve decided to turn off auto-generated columns for both grids and add desired... -

Q1’11 Pre-Release Series: Coded UI Testing, RadWizard, and fast TreeView coming to Telerik Windows Forms
Q1'11will definitely be huge for RadControls for WinForms! The Telerik WinForms controls will be the first suite to be compliant with the latest user interface accessibility and UI automation standards, namely Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) and Coded UI tests. MSAA is designed not only to help visually impaired people, but it is also a great automation tool, which Microsoft included in Visual Studio 2010. The automation allows developers to access and manipulate all UI elements in applications that support it (if you need ASP.NET, Silverlight and [soon] WPF test automation, check out Telerik WebUI Test Studio). We have also extended our localization... -

New Themes Coming to Telerik Windows Forms in Q1’11 and Why We Rebranded an Existing Theme
As you all know Telerik always strives to follow the latest UI innovations and improvements that the software market offers. With the release of Microsoft Office 2010 we turned our eyes and efforts into creating a theme that covers this style. As a result in Q3 2010 we introduced the Office2010 theme which followed the silverish look of Microsoft Office 2010. However, we did not stop there. We wanted to provide the full color palette that Office2010 provides. This is why the Telerik Office2010 theme is going to be followed by new fellow themes – Office2011Black and Office2010Silver: Office2010Blue Office2010Black Office2010Silver You should be... -

Telerik AJAX controls with MSHelp3 documentation as of Q1 2011
Here are some invigorating news from the Telerik labs - starting with the official Q1 2011 release our AJAX components will provide integrated VS 2010 MSHelp3 documentation! For all of you who take advantage of the new Visual Studio help format and Help Viewer 1.0, now is the time to dive into the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX help directly from Visual Studio 2010 (by simply pressing F1 as usual). We are beginning to use the Sandcastle project to generate CHM, MS Help2, MS Help3 and web documentation for our AJAX controls (the Telerik MVC Extensions do that from day one). With this step we... -

Acceptance Test Driven Development
Acceptance Test Driven Development represents another step in the pragmatic, cooperative style that was described 10 years ago when a group of 17 software developers gathered at Utah’s Snowbird ski resort in February 2001 and issued the Manifesto for Agile Software Development, with its guiding principle of: “Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.” The Agile Manifesto also includes the principle of: “Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.” Perhaps the developers spent the evening hours around a big fireplace at Snowbird – feeding the flames with ... -
