    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...

    Editing the RadScheduleView's TimeRulerItemTemplateSelector

    RadControls for WPF, 2011.Q1 We will start with the project from the previous post: DOWNLOAD: RadScheduleView_GroupHeaderTemplates.zip And will produce the following project that has its timeruler items modified: DOWNLOAD: RadScheduleView_TimeRulerItemTemplates.zip Using the GroupHeaderContentTemplateSelector you can bind to the resource data. In the time ruler this is not the case. The time ruler items present date information and at this time they can’t be modified through items source property. We will create an inline template selector and discuss some of the TimeRulerItem DataTemplates. Converting the TimeRulerItemTemplateSelector to Local Value Select the RadScheduleView, go to the “Styling” section in the “Properties” tab and click the rectangle near the “TimeRulerItemTemplateSelector” property.

    TimeRulerItems and GroupHeaders in RadScheduleView

    RadControls for WPF, 2011.Q1 The most important controls in RadScheduleView are the GroupHeaders, AppointmentItems and TimeRulerItems. While the AppointmentItems does not vary much RadScheduleView introduces several different uses of the GroupHeaders and TimeRulerItems. Styles Compared to DataTemplates for GroupHeaders and TimeRulerItems The GroupHeaders and TimeRulerItems appearance can be modified through DataTemplates and Styles. The DataTemplate can be changed by editing the GroupHeaderContentTemplateSelector for GroupHeaders and TimeRulerItemTemplateSelector for TimeRulerItems. The DataTemplates can be used to modify the content presentation but modifying the visual appearance of the overall control may be limited. For example you can change the time string formats in both the GroupHeaders...

    How to enable keyboard support in the RadFileExplorer for ASP.NET AJAX

    With the newest version already out, I am happy to present you the latest accessibility improvements of our RadFileExplorer control from the ASP.NET AJAX suite. Now, you don't need the mouse to delete a folder or open a file! Simply focus the FileExplorer, navigate to the grid or treeview using the [Shift+]Tab key, select the desired folder with the Arrow keys and press Delete. A popup dialog asks you to confirm the deletion. Hit Enter to delete, or Esc to cancel.       This was just an example of a common scenario, that could be carried out using the keyboard only. We have ensured that any use case...

    RadTreeView for WinForms Q1 2011 with a new engine under the hood

    We were eagerly awaiting the Q1 release to demonstrate you the new cleaner and more flexible API that makes the work with RadTreeView fun. We also wanted to tell you something more about the benefits that come with the new data engine. Now that Q1 2011 is public and the improved RadTreeView is a fact, I would like to introduce the enhancements which we implemented during the last few months.   The new data engine that we use in RadTreeView is actually our generic data layer used in RadGridView and other controls such as RadListControl and RadDropDownList. This allowed us to add...
