    RadScheduler for ASP.NET AJAX - Improvements to provider interface in Q3 2010

    The Q3 release RadControls will come packed with shiny features and a couple of new controls, but that’s not all! We’ve fiddled with the complex machinery under the hood and made it better too. Let me introduce you the new and improved provider interface (ABC, actually) for RadScheduler: public abstract class SchedulerProviderBase : ProviderBase {     public virtual IEnumerable<Appointment> GetAppointments(ISchedulerInfo schedulerInfo) { }     public virtual IDictionary<ResourceType, IEnumerable<Resource>> GetResources(ISchedulerInfo schedulerInfo) { }     public virtual void Insert(ISchedulerInfo schedulerInfo, Appointment appointmentToInsert) { }     public virtual void Update(ISchedulerInfo schedulerInfo, Appointment appointmentToUpdate) { }    ...

    Using Telerik Reporting with WCF RIA Services

    Due to the rising popularity of Rich Internet Applications (RIA) e.g. Silverlight applications, the developers get more dependent on services for coordinating application logic between the middle tier and the presentation tier and the logical question raises how to use an already working WCF RIA Service as a datasource for Telerik Report. This is very useful if you want to enable the exact same business data access logic for clients other than Silverlight. For example to a WPF, WinForms or WebForms application. Thus we have made some tests locally and decided to share our observations in this post. Prerequisites: We will examine the WCF...

    Q3’10 Pre-Release Series: Telerik Introduces New Components to ASP.NET AJAX and MVC Suites

    We already started the pre-release blog wave with WPF and it is time to continue with some details about the Telerik suites for ASP.NET AJAX and MVC. The highlight of the upcoming Q3 2010 release for RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX is the addition of two new controls – RadTreeList and RadButton. RadTreeList is a valuable extension of the toolset as it adds yet another means to display data in hierarchical format.
