Programatically selecting visual items with the new Interactivity API in RadChart for Silverlight / WPF
Hi everyone! As you know RadChart supports selection and hover interactivity effects and 2010.Q3 release exposes an API that allows you, the developer, to control it. Now I am going to show you how you can select any number of items only by moving your mouse. First let’s start with the rectangle selector that the user draws with its mouse. I have added a canvas on top of the Radchart to hold the rectangle. We need to listen to MouseLeftButtonDown, MouseMove and MouseLeftButtonUp events to control the rectangle position and size. The tricky part is how to convert the size of the rectangle... -

Connecting Telerik Reporting to SQL Azure via Open Access
Download SqlAzure.OpenAccess (C# VS2010) - 163KB In the previous blog post from the series we discussed how to connect Telerik Reporting to a SQL Azure database using ADO.NET with the help of the SqlDataSource component. Now we will demonstrate how to accomplish the same task with Open Access ORM utilizing the OpenAccessDataSource component. For the sake of this example we assume an existing SQL Azure account with the Adventure Works sample database already installed. Let’s start with a new Open Access domain model – the Open Access ORM Data Wizard starts. Choose Microsoft SQL Azure as a backend for the database connection and specify the connection string to your SQL Azure database as shown in the screenshot below: Choose the following tables... -

Binding Telerik Grid for ASP.NET MVC to OData
We have just made a nice demo application showing how to bind Telerik Grid for ASP.NET MVC to OData using Telerik TV as OData producer. The grid supports paging, sorting and filtering using OData’s query options. To do that we implemented a helper JavaScript routine (defined in an external JavaScript file which is included in the sample project) which is used to bind the grid. Here is how the code looks like: @(Html.Telerik().Grid<TelerikTVODataBinding.Models.Video>() .Name("Grid") .Columns(columns => { columns.Bound(v => v.ImageUrl).Sortable(false).Filterable(false).Width(200).HtmlAttributes(new { style="text-align:center" }); ... -

A letter to our customers
At the end of each year we have time to look back and reflect on the year before and think about the year ahead. 2010 was once again a challenging year for Telerik as well as our customers. The economy continues to be stubborn in many parts of the world. Microsoft released new versions of .NET and Visual Studio that we had to be ready for. Silverlight 4 was released, then pronounced dead, then alive again, then Silverlight 5 previews were shown. Even Mother Nature in April gave us trouble; the eruption of Mt. Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland stranded over a dozen of our employees, including our CEO, on... -
