MVC3 and unobtrusive validation support with Grid for ASP.NET MVC
As you may know, we just released our ASP.NET MVC extensions latest service pack. Beside the regular dose of fixes, this service release incorporates even better support of the official version of MVC3. One of those new MVC3 feature, which I want to bring to your attention, is the unobtrusive validation. We all know how client validation from the previous version of MVC has worked; outputting a mass of JSON serialized validation rules. Although, this approach is still available, the newer one is far more pleasing. Enabled by default in the VS2010’s MVC3 project template, validation rules will be attached... -

MVC 3 and the Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC
Last week MVC 3 RTM was released. I’ve been able to play around with the various release candidates and I have to say that I love the new changes, especially the new Razor ViewEngine. For those of you that have not been looking into the changes for MVC 3, or you are just starting to look into MVC, I wanted to first introduce the Razor ViewEngine and then show you how to use the syntax with some of our extensions for ASP.NET MVC. First up is the Razor ViewEngine. Now a ViewEngine is essentially what takes all of the code in... -

Work Item Manager Beta 4 is Here
Another release of the Work Item Manager is here and we have some exciting new features to tell you about! By far the most requested features for WIM have been a parent/child task board view and the ability to use TFS 2010’s new hierarchical queries. This blog post will show you a quick overview of these features. Parent/Child Task Board View We have added a new option in the task board which allows you to group work items by parent work item. In this view, the parent work items are displayed in their own column, and the child work items ...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

WebForms to Razor view converter tool
We just love inventing tools. It’s one of those things hardcoded in our genome. There’s a great joy in seeing your invention work for you and all you have to do is sit back and sip a beer debug the hell out of it. But I digress. During the conversion of our online examples to the Razor view engine we’ve came up with a simple tool to help us. We didn’t have great hopes for it, as completely automatic conversion is hardly possible. It’s purpose was to take care of the bulk of the conversion, leaving the more fine points to the human... -

Full Razor support and examples coming in SP1 of Telerik Extensions for MVC (2010 Q3)
We’ve “signed off” the first service release of the Telerik Extensions (2010 Q3) just a few minutes ago and it’s on its way to you. Apart from the usual fixes this release adds full support for the new Razor view engine. The official MVC 3 release has been out only for a few days, but the interest in this new view engine is deservedly high. This view engine required some tinkering under the hood of the Extensions, but it has all been taken care of. Any issues you might have had until now (nested content rendering out of place, syntax errors in template... -

Thoughts on Being Awarded Microsoft Silverlight MVP
This isn't going to be your typical code sample-heavy blog post, but rather I wanted to reflect on something that arrived at my doorstep about two weeks ago... That is correct, I was awarded the Microsoft Silverlight MVP award for the past year of work around this fantastic platform. So let me start by saying thanks for both the nomination as well as the award - while it was never the goal of helping the community to grow and learn, it is certainly a nice perk. ;) And of course things are just getting started, as we saw at the Silverlight Firestarter,... -

Controlling TreeView’s ExpanderStyle Dynamically
Sometimes the TreeView is used in scenarios where the expander style must be styled in custom fashion. Prior 2010 Q3 SP1 there was no easy way to dynamically change the expander style of the TreeView or particular item. TreeView’s ExpanderStyle So we decided to extend the functionality provided by the TreeView. Prior this enhancement changes to the ExpanderStyle property during runtime would not affect already visible items. The property now supports dynamic values and data binding. This way you can easily change the style of the expander of all items in the hierarchy during runtime. Item’s ExpanderStyle Working only with the TreeView’s ExpanderStyle... -

Integrating Telerik OpenAccess ORM Spatial Data with RadMap
You read that right! In Q3 2010 OpenAccess ORM introduced new SQL Spatial Type support. Which is awesome for those of us that love playing with spatial data :) I started playing around with the new OA spatial support, and decided what better way to to demonstrate the capabilities than to output the data on to a map? This blog covers how I accomplished this task :) First We Need Spatial Data Some of you may already have spatial data sitting in a SQL Server DB, but if not never fear! You can use the great Shp2Sql utility, made by Morten Nielsen, to import a...May 27, 2021 3 min read
