    Telerik Takes Advantage of the Open Data Protocol (OData)

    Telerik, being the pioneer in supporting emerging technologies, not only provides native direct connectivity to the OData protocol in its UI products, but also offers several systems which expose their data using the OData protocol. The Open Data Protocol is a data exchange protocol by Microsoft that enables data transactions to be carried over standard web protocols (HTTP, Atom, and JSON) for querying and updating data. OData is being used to expose and access information from a variety of sources, including but not limited to relational databases, file systems, content management systems, and traditional web sites. The Telerik's OData support extends...

    UI vs. Compositor – Demystifying the main Windows Phone 7 OS threads

    Having spent a couple of months focused on Windows Phone 7 development, I must admit that Microsoft have managed to bring something completely unique and intriguing to the mobile world. Not only the fact that the UX has nothing to do with what’s currently on the shelves, but also the whole platform with its potential and developer accessibility make WP7 very thrilling. I really think that ‘Silverlight’ and ‘mobile’ are two words that should have been stick together anytime soon and with WP7 Microsoft made what should bring them back on the scene – they simply brought Silverlight into mobile. In...

We have many examples where user input is required which automatically implies increased amount of controls on the example page and thus leading to difficulties when optimally using the screen space. For instance, our Animation examples allow for adjusting animation parameters to better demonstrate functionality. At the beginning we implemented the input via TextBox elements: we allowed the user to type in the desired value, after that...

    Integrating your Windows Phone unit tests with MSBuild #1: Introduction

    When we started preparing our development infrastructure for the RadControls for Windows Phone 7 suite one of the interesting challenges that we faced was the automation of the unit tests execution. Of course, each developer could run the tests on their local machine manually, but this approach is rather cumbersome, especially when the amount of unit tests grows as the project evolves. Therefore we decided to take some time and research the possibilities for running our unit tests on the Windows Phone emulator automatically by integrating them with our MSBuild projects. The idea we came up with is quite simple in...
