    Telerik at NDC2011- Highlights from Day 1

    Telerik is for the first time in Norway and is very happy to see so many fans and customers at the Norwegian Developers Conference in Oslo. Day 1 was a busy and exciting day for the Telerik team who showed some of the coolest features of our testing and project management products as well as all our UI controls. We also met with our partners from Prewise who demonstrated how Telerik TeamPulse integrates with Eylean.   Even though we don’t get much sleep under the midnight sun we can’t wait to see all of you at our booth at Day 2.

    RadChart for Windows Phone 7 and Data Binding

    The fastest chart for windows phone 7 is just around the corner and it is not only fast, it is also very easy to use. To prove how easy to use RadChart is, consider the following steps which take the developer from a blank phone page to a page with a working chart that visualizes real data. In short the steps are these: Create chart object -> Add axes -> add series -> bind series to data. That’s right RadChart will support data binding on day -1 (this is the beta so it is not day 1 yet). Now let’s dig right into it. First...

    Let’s build a board game with RadGridView for WinForms

    You probably know RadGridView for WinForms. It became a must for every serious business application for its great and widely used features – load-on-demand hierarchy, self-referencing hierarchy, grouping, sorting, filtering, exporting capabilities and many others. There is one more cool feature that will greatly improve the user experience of your application – our built-in drag and drop mechanism. This is the core feature of the application that we would like to introduce today, namely Telerik Checkers.   As the name implies, Telerik Checkers is an implementation of the standard Checkers game and follows most of its rules. The drag and drop restrictions and customizations are possible thanks to the...

    Complex filtering for RadChart

    RadChart allows you to programmatically filter its data using FilterDescriptors as demonstrated in our help topic. However there are scenarios where you would like to have more complex filtering. For a sample scenario where a Chart is drawn according to the filtered RadGridView’s data - read further. The Chart and the GridView will be populated with the same data source – List of Business Objects: public class MyDateObject   {       public double SampleValue { get; set; }       public DateTime Date { get; set; }   }     public class MyDataContext   {       public const int min = 20;       public const int max = 80;       public ObservableCollection<MyDateObject> List { get; set; }       Random r = new Random();       DateTime baseDate = DateTime.Today;         public MyDataContext()       {           this.CreateChartData();       }         private void CreateChartData()       {           List = new ObservableCollection<MyDateObject>();           for (int i = 0; i < 15; i++)           {               List.Add(new MyDateObject() { SampleValue = r.Next(min,...

    Building Windows Phone appointment viewer application

    {download the application complete source code from your Telerik account (register here for free if you are new to Telerik)} One of the great new features in the new Windows Phone OS, codenamed "Mango" is that developers have access to the device appointments. By using the new APIs we can now integrate the appointments in our applications. To make the developers' lives easier we created a new Calendar control that is an exact copy of the Metro calendar found in the OS. RadCalendar is "appointment-aware" in the sense that you can create a simple appointments data source and bind the calendar to it. This way, the appointments from the data source will be displayed in the month view like...
