Implementing WP7 ToDo application part1 - Getting started
Getting Started This is part 1 of the series on building WP7 ToDo application with Telerik WP7 Control toolkit. Please refer to the "master" blog post for more details and links for the other part of the series. The first step for us when starting to work on the application was to create the wireframes. Our wireframes basically consisted of the app screens and the flow diagrams for all the actions that users can do in the application. Download a PDF file with all wireframes of the application. The benefit for having these wireframes (still no graphic design available) at this early stage helped both developers and designers to get... -

Implementing WP7 ToDo application from A to Z
[download the application complete source code from your Telerik account ] Introduction As part of our support service in Telerik we are implementing integration examples for our customers. The aim of these examples is mainly to show how to use the controls in real-life scenarios. In the case of WP7 (Windows Phone 7) it is a little bit different. The platform is still quite new and there is high demand for examples that not only show the usage of the Telerik controls, but the usage of the platform too. Also there is a marketplace where we can show our applications to the end users... -

Page Aggregates (Page Totals) in Telerik Reporting Q1 2011
In some report scenarios, it is useful to include a page-scoped aggregate in Page Header or Page Footer section. As of Q1 2011, the powerful expression engine of Telerik Reporting has been extended with page aggregates, which allow you to add customizable sub-totals and summary data at the bottom of every page, such as total number of Unit X sold, or the average number of processes that have passed. You can add counts, sums, and averages to each page, even if your report consists of subreports and several tables. To add a page aggregate you need to utilize the new PageExec function that takes... -

How To Drag A File From Desktop And Drop It In RadTreeView Placed In WPF Application
Sometimes we need to extend the RadTreeView’s Drag’and’Drop abilities in order to accept external data from other applications or Windows. In this post I will show you how to successfully drag and drop images from windows desktop / windows explorer to a RadTreeView located in a running WPF Application. Imagine we want to make a tree that shows pictures and names of our favourite football teams and our favourite players in these teams. How can we achieve this ? We can first create some ViewModels: PlayerViewModel, TeamViewModel, LeagueViewModel that all inherit from BaseViewModel. The BaseViewModel will implement the INotifyPropertyChanged interface and will expose Name(string) and ImgSource(Uri) properties. Then we will create... -

Programmatically Exporting Telerik Reports to PDF and Other Formats
As many of you know, Telerik Reporting is incredibly versatile. Using it, you can create a single report, then take that one report and display it in Silverlight, WPF, WinForms, or ASP.NET using one of our four available report viewers. Recently, however, I've noticed that people are interested in exporting reports without even displaying a report viewer at all. I am happy to let you know that Telerik Reporting indeed supports this exact scenario. I suppose you could consider it a "5th" way of viewing reports if you wanted. Setting up Telerik Reporting to export reports programmatically is actually quite ...March 29, 2011 3 min read -

Custom RadMap Provider for Q1 2011
Since Q1 2011 and the newest release of the RadMap several changes were made to the control. Presently it is possible to specify several tile providers that will be displayed one over the other through the RadMap.Providers property. If your Map sources have tile size different from the default one (256x256) then all these sources must use the same tile size. For example if you want to have a satellite source with tile size 300x300 and a road source, the last one must use this tile size as well. If your map source uses a tile size different from the... -

Exporting Telerik Reports to PowerPoint Presentation (Q1 2011)
One of the greatest new features in Telerik Reporting Q1 2011 is the PowerPoint Presentation Rendering Extension, which produces a PowerPoint Presentation file from any Telerik report. The new rendering extension is part of the newly introduced support for the Office Open XML standard which meets “the new workplace challenges that include easily moving data between disparate applications, and allowing users to glean business insight from that data." (Source: MSDN). Supporting the Office Open XML standard also means that Telerik Reporting can export its reports not only to Microsoft Office PowerPoint, but to Word, and Excel 2007/2010. The native Office Open XML support means that any document suite,... -

Rethinking Agile Methodologies Part III: Moving away from Scrum
See also: Part I: How I started to use Scrum Part II: Scrum, but In Part I we looked at how I first got into Agile and Scrum. Last week in Part II, we explored how Scrum failed to be flexible enough to fit into my unique process. Today we will take a look at how I got introduced to Kanban. The start-up I worked at a few years ago that I described in Part II successfully used Scrum for traditional software development, however, when we were faced with a pretty unique development requirement, Scrum failed us. To refresh your memory from Part II, we had to spider thousands...
