To see what is included in this wrap up, visit the quick links below: RELEASE NOTES / LIVE DEMOS / ONLINE DOCUMENTATION TRIAL DOWNLOAD / PAID DOWNLOAD Although there is nothing flashy in this service pack, there a few noticeable additions/improvements that are worth to be mentioned explicitly, hence I am giving them in a "digested" form: AsyncUpload - added functionality to set TemporaryFolder globally using the appSettings section in web.config Calendar - added a quick option to enable Today's day highlighting via RadCalendar's SmartTag Grid - introduced a new property (RadGrid.ClientSettings.DataBinding.ShowEmptyRowsOnLoad) to provide the option to hide empty data...

    The Query Result Cache

    Quite some time ago we touched upon the details of the caches maintained by Telerik OpenAccess ORM in the these 2 blog posts – First Level Cache, Second Level Cache.  In this post we will provide some more information about the ‘Query result cache’ which is held as a part of the 2nd Level Cache.   What is the Query Results Cache ? When you execute a LINQ query to fetch some objects from the database there are quite a few things that take place in the background before you actually get back the result. Let’s list some basic actions that are...

    Twitter Chat on JustDecompile – Join the Beta Conversation!

    At TechEd North America 2011 yesterday, we officially announced the Beta launch of JustDecompile – a powerful .NET decompiler, which we are committed to keeping free, forever, for everyone. Since the pre-launch two weeks ago, when we unveiled the very first Beta version, we have witnessed enormous interest in JustDecompile as the community has acclaimed Telerik for stepping up and providing a free .NET decompiler to fill a very conspicuous market gap. Naturally, with enormous interest, come a lot of questions, too. Thus, due to popular demand, we have organized a Twitter chat to get all of your questions answered. Join the...

    Migrating Reflector’s Lists to JustDecompile ones

    If you (like me) were a heavy Reflector user you will probably like the tool that I’m going to share with you today. It is a very simple WPF application that allows you to migrate your existing Reflector's list to their JustDecompile equivalents. Usage is pretty straight forward. You just™ point the app to your Reflector’s installation folder and it will take care of the rest. You can download the tool here. Any feedback: bugs and feature requests is more than welcome. Let's finish with a rhyme: Let the force of a freely decompiled source guide you in your course. ...

    Windows Phone 7 MVVM #2 - RadJumpList

    After finishing the previous post, I realize something important – I would rather use RadJumpList than RadDataBoundListBox for my navigation in this application, simply because the “People Hub” type of experience is much cooler than a plain old listbox, regardless of how impressive the performance is.  We are also going to reconsider our MyItem and turn it into something a little more exciting – MyMVVMItem!  This will allow us to do add every new demo as an individual item, complete with a field for grouping, a friendly name, and a backing field for the name of the page that we...
