    Want to see the (bright) Future of Silverlight?

    The latest release of Silverlight - ver.4 was released earlier this year. For me this was the first Silverlight release that was stable and mature enough so that I could recommend to anyone building business applications to use it broadly. Now, six months later, we can see that the Silverlight adoption is very high and that there are a lot of great tools built with it.

    RadControls for Windows Phone 7: Introducing RadWindow

    Graphical user interfaces are rife with popups and messages springing from every direction in order to notify users of important information. The Windows Phone 7 experience is no different and RadWindow is here to provide this functionality. Currently the toolkit for windows phone development provides a Popup control out of the box, so why bother writing a window from scratch? The main reason is that the stock popup is not hardware accelerated, that is, animations on UI elements displayed on it are executed on the UI thread, it doesn’t matter if the animation is a simple double animation, if you...

    We have had some recent requests to provide an example of using a coded step in WebUI Test Studio. Additionally, we have had a few inquiries asking how to verify items in a tree view. This post should address both questions! The goal with this test is to use a data source to verify the contents of a tree view, the tree view I would like to verify contains (3) values, "Project", "Iteration 1" and "Iteration 2", see below image.  After creating a new test, the first thing I will do is utilize our local test data feature to create a ...

    [You can see all new hierarchy modes of RadGridView in this week’s webinar. See details and register >>] More and more developers are using ORM frameworks like Telerik OpenAccess, Entity Framework, and NHibernate to save valuable time from writing dependent and synchronization code for the database server.
