Server sorting and filtering with WCF RIA Services and Telerik Data Virtualization for Silverlight
I’m happy to announce that with our upcoming service pack (Q3 2010 SP1) you will be able to sort, filter and load records on demand with WCF RIA Services and our VirtualQueryableCollectionView. To enable this we’ve added two extension methods for EntityQuery<T> and now you can use directly VirtualQueryableCollectionView SortDescriptors and FilterDescriptors: var context = new NorthwindDomainContext(); var query = context.GetOrder_DetailsQuery().OrderBy(o => o.OrderID); var view = new VirtualQueryableCollectionView() { LoadSize = 10, VirtualItemCount = 100 }; view.ItemsLoading += (s, e) => { var queryToLoad = query .IncludeTotalCount(true) ... -

Upgrading projects made with Telerik OpenAccess ORM
Whether you have just installed the new release of Telerik OpenAccess ORM or downloaded a demo that has been built with an older version of our tool, you most certainly have had to remove and add again your OpenAccess references in your existing projects. In order to make it easier we have provided the option of doing this automatically. However it seems like this functionality has not been found by too many users. It can be found in the OpenAccess menu Telerik -> OpenAccess -> Upgrade References. Executing this will, in a second, upgrade all the references to OpenAccess in all...May 27, 2021 1 min read -

Telerik Data Services Wizard Updates
If you are creating OData or WCF services in your application and have been using the Telerik Data Services Wizard, things just got a whole lot easier. As I have shown before, you can go from File|New to a new CRUD application in 30 seconds using the wizard. With the Q3 release last month, Telerik gives you more control over the wizard and its output. Some of the new features are: the ability to isolate your service in its own project, the ability to select which CRUD methods gets created for each entity, and Silverlight data validation. Let’s take a look. When you run the wizard, on its first... -

Drag from external programs into you WPF applications using RadDragAndDropManager
Since Q3 2010 we have introduced new drag mode, enabling native drag from and to your WPF applications. In this post I will show how to successfully perform drag drop operations from external program into your application through the RadDragAndDropManager API. This can be achieved in several easy steps: 1. Set RadDragAndDropManager.EnableNativeDrag=”true”. This will enable native operations (if your application runs in full trust). The easiest way to do this is set it in StartUp event. private void Application_Startup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e) { RadDragAndDropManager.EnableNativeDrag = true; } 2. Set the RadDragAndDropManager properties to enable the drop operation: telerik:RadDragAndDropManager.AllowDrop="True" telerik:RadDragAndDropManager.DropQuery="FileListGrid_DropQuery" telerik:RadDragAndDropManager.DropInfo="FileListGrid_DropInfo" and add the corresponding... -

Convert an Existing LINQ to SQL Model to Telerik OpenAccess in 30 Seconds
If you are currently invested in LINQ to SQL and want to upgrade to Telerik OpenAccess ORM, with the new OpenAccess Q3 release you can do this quite easily. There is a new wizard included with OpenAccess that will automatically convert your LINQ to SQL classes to Telerik LINQ classes. Let’s take a look. I’ll start with a simple project that has a simple LINQ to SQL model in it: Northwind.dbml. It is mapped to the Northwind database tables. I created a simple web form that has a GridView on it. I decided that I would try to stump the wizard by writing a complex LINQ... -

Exploring the RadSparklines performance in WPF/Silverlight
As we know, the RadSparklines are characterized by their small memory footprint, cleaner XAML and simple but powerful rendering. When looking at the sparkline controls in the context of a charting tool one has to note that they are much more simplified. They lack many of the visual elements, such as Axis lines, gridlines or striplines. This makes them much faster when rendered and very suitable when used in high data-intensity scenarios. One such scenario may be when using different types of sparklines bound to a ViewModel/class, which passes hundreds or even thousands of data points to the controls. Since the RadSparklines... -

Did you miss the Agile Testing Webinar?
Thanks to all those to attended Wednesday's Automated Testing in the Agile Environment webinar. If you missed the presentation you can catch it 24/7 on Telerik TV. Since we had some great questions asked during the session, I thought I would share them with the community! Q: Can't automated test execution take a long time as well? Is that just a time/project management issue? A: Sure depending on the number of tests and the complexity of the tests, they can take time as well - of course tests can be run during off hours and dispersed across multiple test ...December 03, 2010 2 min read -

Facebook Client for Your Desktop
Back at the PDC 2009 in Los Angeles, CA, Brian Goldfarb showed off the “Microsoft Silverlight Client for Facebook Beta”. It was released by Microsoft in early 2010 and had millions of downloads for both Windows and the Mac. Over the past few months, the Facebook app has been further developed by Telerik and is now available as the first official version under its new name: Telerik f!acedeck. Telerik has taken over the application from Microsoft and will continue its further development and support as a free application for everyone to enjoy. Telerik f!acedeck delivers a superior experience to Facebook users and offers unique features: such as drag-and-drop from the...
