Hi all,
My name is Radoslav Kirilov and I am developer at one of Telerik's ASP.NET teams.
I want to introduce you the new RadMonthYearPicker control which is available in
the new Q1 2011 release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. RadMonthYearPicker is a
flexible component that allows the user to select month and year and to display
that month/year in the specified format and culture.
RadMonthYearPicker is a part of the RadCalendar suite and it has most of the properties
introduced into the RadDatePicker. Below are listed the most important of them:
MinDate, MaxDate - the control will not accept dates beyond the specified range.
DisplayDateFormat - Customize the display month/year...
In the context of our 30th release I am happy to share even more good news with you. With the official Q1 2011 release we have enriched the developer toolbox with the new RadDataForm.In the tradition of our existing data-aware controls such as RadGridVIew, RadDataForm deals with data in easy and intuitive way. It provides complete CRUD support over an object or a collection of objects taking care of adding, editing, deleting and navigation trough collections. We had the RadGridView to take care of tabular views and now we have RadDataForm to take care of scenarios where form layout is more...
Starting with the 2011 Q1 release, OpenAccess supports development of applications that involve geometric or geographic data. For the sake of simplicity, this blog will focus on the use of SqlGeography with MSSQL 2008. Other databases (like Oracle) provide support for geometric and geographic data as well, but this shall be the topic of another blog post. Let's start with a simple model that has only two domain classes City and Country. Both classes should contain geographic information: the location of the City (as a point) and the polygon shape of the Country. Both domain classes then...
We hear a lot that migrating projects using OpenAccess to a new OpenAccess version is a complicated process. The first decision should be if you want to migrate each of your projects or if you want to stay for some of them with the old OpenAccess version. This post describes how to prepare your project so that an installation of a new OpenAccess version does not break your build or makes it necessary to use the new version in your older projects. The first step is to check-in all necessary runtime and compile time used resources instead of taking them from the...
We are proud to announce the first major release of RadControls for WinForms for this year, where we worked towards expanding and optimizing the whole suite. To start off, I can say that we introduced a fully refurbished RadTreeView control with new UI and data layers which allow it to bind several times faster! Of course, we are trying not only to optimize the existing products, but to offer new components in the suite as well. By popular demand, we developed a brand new control that helps you break a complex process into separate steps – RadWizard. Additionally, in the spirit of...
As the market and Windows Phone 7 are getting bigger so do the RadControls for WP7. Q1 2011 marks the first official release of Telerik’s RadControls for Windows Phone 7.

We are happy to announce that the very first official release for RadControls for Windows Phone is here. As we promised, we polished the existing controls as much as possible for this release and added a small feature that many people will find useful, namely Localization support. The Q1 2011 release provides a localization mechanism that users can utilize by providing localized resources either through code or through resource files. In order to localize the existing controls users have to create a ResourceManager that will contain resources in their native language and pass it to the LocalizationManager class in the RadControls suite. Also, the localization...
It has been an amazing quarter for the Telerik XAML teams. Q1 2011 brings 6 new controls for Silverlight, 5 new for WPF and tons of improvements and new features. Amongst these new additions are the new ScheduleView control for Silverlight, RichTextBox editor for WPF, DataForm, ExpressionEditor, new MaskedInput suite, TimeBar and a SpellChecker control. Another major re-design of our online demos is now in place and demonstrates not only our advanced controls but also how we envision great UI built on Silverlight. If I can summarize the entire Q1 release in just a few words it is all about ease of use, amazing...
As part of Telerik’s major Q1 2011 release, JustCode arrives with tons of great new stuff. The biggies are Code Cleaning, Decompiling and Options Sharing features. Our brand new Code Cleaning feature allows you to reformat and tidy up your code in a single step. We have been working on an integrated decompiler for quite some time. It allows you to seamlessly browse through decompiled code in referenced assemblies as if it were source. With this release of JustCode you can start doing that without leaving Visual Studio. Applying code style standards across the team is now possible with the new Options...
It's
Q1 2011 release time for the Telerik Personal Productivity product line and we, the guys
from the
ASP.NET AJAX team are excited to share news of improvement, new functionality
and a brand new control added to the arsenal of the Telerik AJAX developer. In this
blog post, I want to talk about some major functionality one of the new players
in the AJAX control suite now sports - editing for RadTreeList.
RadTreeList for ASP.NET AJAX was introduced last quarter
(Q3 2010) and enabled hierarchical visualization of a single tabular data set. As
a databound tabular control, it is naturally compared to RadGrid, and not only because
both look visually alike. As...
