    Q3 2010 Telerik ASP.NET roadmaps published

    The Q3 2010 roadmaps for the Telerik ASP.NET AJAX and MVC product lines have just been baked and served to you (fresh out of the oven, as an old saying goes). Straight to the exciting news: There will be two long-anticipated new controls added to the AJAX suite - treelist and button - as well as several major new features/enhancements for the AsyncUpload, Calendar, Editor, Grid, Scheduler, Spell and Rotator components. We will also invest some time in improving the mobile browsers support of the AJAX controls. The idea is to dispense better user experience when you browse your sites (developed with our...

    New Visual Studio Extensions for the Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC

    As you may already know we officially released the Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC Q2 2010. In addition to all the new features with this new release we shipped the Telerik MVC Visual Studio Extensions. With the aid of the VS Extensions you will find it really easy to create new Telerik MVC project, convert an existing project to a Telerik one, configure and upgrade your project to a newer version of the Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC. With the release of MVC VS Extensions the VSXTeam@Telerik achieved one bigger goal – we now support VS Extensions for all Telerik UI Components!...

    Bookvar goes open source

    It is a great pleasure for me to share an exciting news with you. As of today we are opening the source code of Bookvar mind mapping tool. You can find the source on Codeplex right next to other open source initiatives of ours, like Telerik MVC Extensions and CAB Enabling Kit for WinForms. A few caveats about the source code There are a few things that you need to know about the source code: Most of the code was written when we were quite new to WPF and we were pioneering all those concepts. Looking back at that time I realize there are things that...

    Building a Windows Phone 7 control from the ground up - Part one - the “Infinite ListBox”

    One of the coolest things in every new developer platform is the challenge to master the entire framework in a way that enables you to create high quality, greatly optimized controls that behave in exactly the same way a user would expect to. Yesterday Microsoft announced that more than 300 000 developers have already downloaded the WP7 Developer Tools Beta. Based entirely on Silverlight, phone development has never been easier and more fun than in the Windows Phone 7 environment. With these series of blogs I want to reveal some tricky moments in developing a simple DatePicker control for WP7....

    Silverlight Recruiting Application #9 - Adding RadUpload (Part 2)

    Yesterday we saw all the plumbing involved to lay a groundwork for RadUpload being used to add files to applicants. Today we actually dive into the code for getting RadUpload working in the MVVM application. The first step in this is deciding where to add the ability to upload files. Doing this within the main Applicants grid is nice (since we're already using the RowDetails presenter), but that'll clutter up the UI there as I want to switch that into a quick and easy overview of each applicant. So instead we're modifying the AddEditApplicantView to make it tab-based, providing one tab...

My colleague Atanas highlighted the new hot extensions and features added to the Telerik MVC components family in this blog post, so I will leave him the glory and the applause :) The fixes and minor enhancements in the AJAX suite can be found in the release notes here. You may also be interested in reviewing the updated versions of the AJAX demos and documentation at the usual locations. Stand by for the Q3 2010 Roadmaps for both product lines which will...

    Silverlight Recruiting Application #8 - Adding RadUpload (Part 1)

    One of the enhancements that the HR team has been asking for since I first launched this is the ability to attach some of the files that applicants send to the applicants once they are entered into the system.  This way, when looking through applicants anyone can easily view their resume, cover letter, or project (yes, sometimes there are projects!) as well as add a rating value to the project.  Seeing as we have a RadUpload control for Silverlight, I figured this would be a great opportunity to get that running in the application, especially since we have the new...

    Roadmap for Telerik Reporting Q3 2010 has been posted

    In case you've missed it, the Q3 2010 Telerik Reporting Roadmap has been posted on our site. Although seemingly short, our plans are quite exciting, because we are to extend the report interactivity we introduced in Q2 2010 with Drill-down (expand/collapse) and Sorting for our crosstab, table, and list report items. In addition, we have started working on a XML Report Serialization Engine which will allow report definitions to be represented in XML and saved as a stand-alone XML file. Finally, an important note: in Q3 2010 the Silverlight Report Viewer will be build against Silverlight 4 only. The reason is simple: the Silverlight Report Viewer utilizes our RadControls for Silverlight controls and themes, which...

By default it is on, but if prefer to stick only to the official released versions you can switch...
