    Telerik OpenAccess ORM has been selected as a Best of TechEd North America 2011 finalist in the Database Development category -- congratulations to the OpenAccess team! Their hard work is paying off, especially after the well-accepted usability revamp of the Visual Designer.

    Getting Started Video Series for RadTimeBar for Silverlight and WPF

    A week after the official release of RadTimeBar for Silverlight and WPF with the Q1 2011 SP1 release, we have some fresh new resources ready for you to watch to start getting the hang of working with RadTimeBar and integration with other RadControls. Last week I blogged about the Official Release of RadTimeBar, which included walking through some examples and some sample code.  But some of you would rather see it in action along with an expert voice on how this integration can take place - and we heard you!  We have just published three new videos up to Telerik TV...

    OpenAccess ORM Q2 2011 Will Feature a Profiler, Check Out the Roadmap

    Todd Anglin's blog on how to trust the SQL an ORM tool produces stirred quite a bit of attention from the community, which also pushed us to action. As a result, we are happy to announce very exciting news on the next version of Telerik OpenAccess ORM, due this summer. Telerik OpenAccess Q2 2011 will come with a built-in Profiler, which will open the "black box" of its operations and will give you an insight on how to optimize its behavior. This tool will also provide great assistance to developers who have decided to not use an ORM tool on the premise...

    Memory Leaks and Memory Consumption in web applications (Part 1)

    This post is number one in a three part series about memory consumption for web applications in general. Since the Web 2.0 era, Web Applications have changed for the better. They provide more functionality, better usability and improved performance. However this tendency led to increased complexity. It is not unusual for a user to stay on a single page for hours without leaving. The browser would just poll data from the server through Ajax requests and display it in even more interesting manners. Therefore it is no wonder that web applications have become hungrier for resources and the browsers couldn’t...

    Agile Seminar at the Great Indian Developer Summit

    Joel and I did our “Agile Buffet Table” session at GIDS in Bengaluru, India. We talked about XP, Scrum, and Kanban and how you can build your own methodology by mixing and matching the features from each of these agile brands. We had *great* audience interaction, the best I have ever had in India. We wrapped up the session by opening Excel and designing a unique process with the audience. Our exit was also very funny, there was no break between sessions(!), so the next speakers came in and were ready to start when we ended. So I impersonated the next speaker, very agile. The slides are available here (via slideshare.) In...

    Performance Improvements in RadSlider

    As Miro mentioned in his last post, with the upcoming 2011 Q1 Beta, we will release a new and improved version of RadSlider. A lot new features are being added and many of the existing hot spots were addressed along the way. One of them - the performance hit when RadSlider has to re-render its ticks. I took the liberty to compare the impact of RadSlider on an application before and after we made the improvements. Scenario: Every second, for 60 seconds, generate a new ViewModel and set it as DataContext to RadSlider. Goal: See how many times the LayoutUpdated event will...
