I found it was...

    Windows Phone 7 MVVM #3 - More RadJumpList

    Picking up where we left off in the previous post, we are working in a new project that will accommodate all of the controls we highlight throughout this entire series, with the hub of our navigation being a RadJumpList instance.  The next step we have is to add some style to our RadJumpList in order to both take advantage of the built-in functionality and to make it look like a more inviting navigation experience. Step 1 – Adding an ItemTemplate One of the huge advantages of any listbox-type control is the ability to style the individual items.  RadJumpList is no different, allowing...

    Test Studio Showcased @ Its First UK Testing Event

    Shortly after the amazing success we had at this year’s StarEast event, we had the chance to demo our software testing tool to the British testing audience too.

To see what is included in this wrap up, visit the quick links below: RELEASE NOTES / LIVE DEMOS / ONLINE DOCUMENTATION TRIAL DOWNLOAD / PAID DOWNLOAD Although there is nothing flashy in this service pack, there a few noticeable additions/improvements that are worth to be mentioned explicitly, hence I am giving them in a "digested" form: AsyncUpload - added functionality to set TemporaryFolder globally using the appSettings section in web.config Calendar - added a quick option to enable Today's day highlighting via RadCalendar's SmartTag Grid - introduced a new property (RadGrid.ClientSettings.DataBinding.ShowEmptyRowsOnLoad) to provide the option to hide empty data...
