Windows 8 will bring exciting times to all application developers, especially those who will invest in creating the immersive applications we all saw in
that video
. We loved the tiles and the clean modern look and how they integrate perfectly within the UI. And I am guessing a lot of software will transition to new ways.
As always Telerik will ease this process by providing its Silverlight and WPF offering with Metro UI Theme and kick start your Windows 8 development. The theme is built from the ground-up to accommodate all the best practices in
Metro UI
applications.

Our projects should always strive for simplicity in the way they are structured and organized. This is especially true for the organizations of release and iteration plans. With iterative development using agile methodologies such as Scrum, we emphasize breaking down a project or a software release into time boxed iterations (called Sprints in Scrum). It’s very important to note that iterations truly represent a “bucket” of work – the capacity of this bucket determined by the fixed length of the iteration (usually ranging from 1-4 weeks) and the amount of work your team can get done in that period of ...

Download Telerik_Reporting_in_Azure (C# VS2010) - 1.69 MB As we bragged in the SP1 of Telerik Reporting Q1 2011 Available post, besides the improved performance and optimized server resources, the XAML rendering extension can now be used in Windows Azure. That is why we decided to update our cloud demo to show the reports in the Silverlight report viewer as well (which utilizes the XAML rendering). You can learn how to use the Silverlight report viewer from the Getting Started with the Silverlight Report Viewer for Telerik Reporting video. The updated demo site can be seen at http://telerikreporting.cloudapp.net/. The good news is there is nothing specific that has...
We believe that motion and interactivity are key parts of the whole Windows Phone 7 OS. That is why we put a lot of effort in implementing an intuitive and highly performing zooming and panning behavior for RadChart for WP7. We see many scenarios when a zoom is required – for example you may want to display large amount of data points – let’s say the monthly sales for a period of 10 years. In this case you may try to visualize all the 120 points within the device’s physical dimensions or you may apply a zoom to the chart...

Example (Details can be found in the LinqFixture.cs under the supplied examples): var simple = new SimpleData(); Mock.Arrange(() => simple.Products).ReturnsCollection(GetFakeProducts()); Mock.Arrange(() => simple.Categories).ReturnsCollection(GetCategories()); var...
[Download the solution project] There is a very weird issue in the current implementation of the Windows Phone 7 Panorama control. If you create an application that has the panorama control on its home page (and this is usually the case) you will notice that the initial sliding effect that exists in the Panorama control will not be played on the device. In the emulator everything seems to be running just fine. The other strange thing is that if you tombstone the application and the active it again the sliding effect of the panorama will be played. We had this problem in Telerik ToDo application and after a...

I definitely hinted at a bit more visual of an example today in my last blog post in the Telerik Windows Phone 7 MVVM Series – so here we are today with the beta of RadChart for Windows Phone and a couple of examples of how these charts aren’t only insanely fast but easy to use for us developers. We’ve been working with MVVM for a while now, so rather than taking any time to discuss the benefits of this approach or any related goodness, I want to jump right into the viewmodel first so that we can spend more time talking...
