A ton of new features have just landed in RadRichTextBox for Silverlight/WPF with 2011.Q1
The latest release – Q1 2011 brought some great enhancements to the Silverlight RadRichTextBox and its new WPF counterpart. The newly introduced functionality spans from capabilities for editing rich text – multilevel lists and extended table support, to additional formatting options – incorporating annotations in the document with hyperlinks that navigate to them, and inserting comments at different positions in the document. The customization and extensibility, which the RichTextBox takes pride in, have also made a step forward with its - as of now - localizable UI and the possibilities to overwrite the existing key-bindings used for triggering commands. In addition, the list of supported... -

Make Your Telerik WinForms-enabled Applications Start Instantly
RadControls for WinForms is a very well structured package of controls, with an excellent balance between performance and features. Still, firing up an application built with Telerik Windows Forms may take a few seconds – time that end-users prefer to get rid of, if possible. So, here is a nice trick which makes your RadControls-enabled application run instantly on the client. This solution is common for large applications such as the Open Office suite. The idea here is to load some application resources (in our case - the whole application) when the Windows starts. When the end-user starts the application,... -

SQL Saturday Hawaii Recap
SQL Saturday 72 (Honolulu) was a great success! This event had three tracks – one for SQL (of course), one for .NET and one for more general topics. Chris Eargle (@kodefuguru) and I came from the mainland and presented (between the two of us) 7 topics. This was my first time in Hawaii, and it was great. Although I could only stay for 48 hours (I think I spent more time in planes than I did in the Islands), everyone I met was extremely friendly. The attendees at the event were very engaging, asked a ton of great questions, and followed... -

How To Create A Population Pyramid with RadChart for Silverlight
A population pyramid, also called an age structure diagram as defined by Wikipedia is a graphical illustration that shows the distribution of various age groups in a human population (typically that of a country or region of the world). It typically consists of two back-to-back bar graphs, with the population plotted on the X axis and age on the Y axis, one showing the number of males and one showing females in a particular population in five-year age. Although there are different types of population pyramids this blog post will demonstrate how to create such pyramid using the RadChart’s Horizontal Bar type.... -

Rethinking Agile Methodologies Part IV: Kanban defined
See also: · Part I: How I started to use Scrum · Part II: Scrum, but · Part III: Moving away from Scrum In Part I we looked at how I got into Agile and Scrum. In Part II we explored how Scrum failed to be flexible enough to fit into my unique process. In Part III we took a look at how I got introduced to Kanban, without even knowing it. Today we’ll take a quick look at what Kanban is. Kanban is a Japanese word that loosely translated means “signal card.” Kanban’s underlying thesis is that by using signal cards at various points in the production process to indicate the amount of work... -

Agile is not Scrum, but Scrum is Agile
Sounds simple enough right? Unfortunately, I missed that lesson after being introduced to SCRUM, which I thought was actually called “Agile”. Why unfortunately? Well, this lesson in Agile 101 was taught to me by a potential client. Here’s how the conversation went: Client: “So, what sort of development methodologies does your team use?” Me: “Agile methodologies. They really work well for us.” Client: “Oh really? Which methodology?” Me: “Uh…Agile?” Client: “I know that, but I mean what type of agile development you do?” Me: “The one with Scrum meeting, I suppose.” Client: “You mean Scrum?” Me: “Yeah. Scrum…that makes sense.” ...May 27, 2021 3 min read -

RadControls for Windows Phone 7 Are Here - So Now What?

Luckily, I’ve got some answers for you! First up, now that the suite is official, the official “free lunch” with the RadControls for Windows Phone 7 is officially over.
