    The first Ribbon Bar for Silverlight, to fully comply with the Microsoft fluent UI guidelines.

    This week we will release new major feature for the RadRibbonBar – keyboard access. KeyTips provide keyboard access to every control in the Ribbon. They are activated by pressing the ALT key, following by the key for the button you want to activate. KeyTips are very well explained at the Microsoft’s fluent UI guidelines, you can read more about KeyTips on msdn… This feature is in the Required section from the Ribbon specification, but it’s nature and hard implementation details was preventing us from implementing it sooner. Currently this feature is the one with most votes in our PITS system, thus we considered it for...

    Localizing the Validation

    The example will work with the latest internal build and the feature required will be released in the Silverlight4, 2010.Q2.SP1. The Full Source Code is here. A few months ago we noticed a lot of XAML code being copied around. It was supposed to enable validation in our controls. It is all about those red borders showing around controls like RadNumericUpDown, RadComboBox, RadDatePicker etc. So we have created the ValidationTooltip in the assembly Telerik.Windows.Controls, namespace Telerik.Windows.Controls.Chromes that was supposed to encapsulate these visuals keeping all the storyboards and templates at one place. This all happened in Silverlight 3. Now in Silverlight 4...

    VS 2010 Disabled Deployment Trouble with UI Coded Tests

    VS 2010 introduced a surprise for us – the deployment feature is disabled by default. Let me explain with this post how this hits everyone running coded tests and how to resolve the problem.

    Custom Code Generation

    The good thing about the code generation is that you can easily modify it to suite your needs. Today I will show you how to modify the code generation template so that it generates string properties that HtmlEncode and HtmlDecode the values in their respective setter and getter. The desired outcome will look like :  private string firstName;   public virtual string FirstName  {      get     {         return HttpContext.Current.Server.HtmlDecode(this.firstName);     }     set     {         this.firstName = HttpContext.Current.Server.HtmlEncode(value);     } } You can achieve this in a couple of steps. First we need to locate the T4 templates that OpenAccess uses. The C# templates are usually located under C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\OpenAccess ORM\dsl\CodeGenerationTemplates\CSharp. Note that it would...

    What is a Persona in TeamPulse?

    Personas are fictitious characters created to represent the different user types of a system. Personas will help you visualize the people behind the keyboard using the features of the software your team is creating. You will can describe exactly how personas use your software by describing the interaction in a story. When defining software requirements in the context of a persona (complete with a picture, a name, and a rich description of a personas goals, objectives, constraints, and day to day realities) teams can better define how to approach the design of the features the persona interacts with. TeamPulse provides ...

In short, fetch strategies help you optimize your retrieval of objects from the database.
