The Q2 2011 Beta 2 release is upon our users and we've got quite a few improvements in the control suite. The highlight of the Q2 release will undoubtedly be the chart control and for Beta 2 we have added more features and polished the existing ones which make the chart look and work better than ever. A major feature, and the focus of this post, is the chart design-time gallery. We extended the concept of the gauge gallery, now it applies to the gauge as well as the chart and who knows, maybe future controls will also benefit from it. The idea of...
The JustTrace team has been busy working on some great improvements to Telerik’s memory and performance profiler! The new Beta ships two brand new features: ‘Profiling Windows Services’ and ‘Compare Performance Snapshots’. Currently, JustTrace is able to profile only Windows Services on Windows Vista and later versions. Future plans include support for Windows XP and Windows 2003. The new ‘Profiling Windows Services’ capability’ entails a new, easy to use dialog, which enables you to see the list of all services and their status. And just above it you can find three buttons that allow you to start, stop and restart the selected service....
We hope you will share our excitement of announcing the brand new member of Telerik’s XAML suite – the RadPropertyGrid. This control will be officially available with the Q2 2011 release that is coming in the midst of July, but now it is included in our recently released Beta for early preview and to satisfy your curiosity. RadPropertyGrid introduces an intuitive and versatile approach to data processing and visualization. Unlike the widely beloved RadDataForm, RadPropertyGrid sets the focus on a single item rather than on a collection of items, exposing many useful features as grouping and search as you type....

[Cross Posted from skimedic.com] I was invited to speak in Colorado and Arizona for three user groups, and it was a great time! I kicked off the trip in Colorado Springs at the South Colorado .NET Users Group ran by Ben Hoelting, a fellow MVP and a friend of mine that also speaks at VSLive. We had a great chat with an overview of Uncle Bob Martin’s SOLID Principles, and then spent the majority of the time discussion software patterns and where they would make sense in the real world. Next up saw North Colorado .NET Users Group, headed up by Jeff Certain, also...
We are happy to announce that with the Q2 2011 Beta we are adding a couple of new features which will help you to customize the layout of the RadTileView even more.
There are three new TileViewPanel properties:
IsRowsShrinkEnabled
and IsColumnsShrinkEnabled
Those two properties are effecting the arrange of the items in Restored state. With them you’ll be able to have restored items with different sizes without this causing the appearance of blank spaces between them.
I’m happy to announce that with the Q2 2011 Beta we are releasing a new rad control – RadBreadcrumb. With the Q2 Beta the RadBreadcrumb will be available only for Silverlight and we will include a WPF version for the official Q2 2011 release. The Breadcrumb control is a lot like the TreeView – you have a hierarchy through which you can freely navigate, but unlike the TreeView the breadcrumb is showing only the currently selected path in the hierarchy and have a couple of additional features like history and text mode. In this blog post I’ll try to explain you the...
What was wrong with the old Firefox versioning? Do they need just to follow someone else? Anyway, no matter what Mozilla (or anyone else) does, we at Telerik should be ready to meet the news. The latest internal build of our Automated Testing Tools solves the compatibility issues with Firefox 5 so tests are now played back there just fine. We will support Firefox 5 officially with the 2011 R1 Service Pack 2 due in a couple of weeks. Enjoy! -Konstantin
