Fluent Mapping Improvements in Q3
Back in Q2 we released a beta version of the OpenAccess Fluent Mapping API and since have been constantly working on improving the experience based on the feedback that we got from our early adopters. While the API is still in beta it is much more mature and already provides most of the functionality provided by the visual designer. Today we will try and get familiar with some of the changes and improvements to the API that have taken place in the Q2 to Q3 timeframe. First of all we decided that some of the existing API members should be changed.... -

Using GridView's Object-Relational Hierarchy with Telerik Open Access ORM
In our previous blog post we showed how to use the new RadGridView Object-Relational Hierarchy with the Entity Framework. The same scenario can be easily implemented with Telerik OpenAccess ORM. The OpenAccess wizard for adding a new DomainModel will help us build the model of the well-known Northwind database in a few easy steps: Once this is done, the auto-generation of the hierarchy is very simple and needs just a few lines of code. We only need the LINQ query to the root object used for a DataSource (in our case “Suppliers”) and then setting AutoGenerateHierarchy to true: NorthwindEntities entities = new NorthwindEntities(); var query =... -

Will you be watching the Silverlight Firestarter?
Everyone that develops in Silverlight has seen a lot of activity around the technology lately, some good and some bad, but the message has been made loud and clear that Silverlight is here to stay. So much so, in fact, that we're only a couple of days away from the Silverlight Firestarter, a full day packed full of education, resources, and some looks at the future of Silverlight: If you haven't registered yet, be sure to do so because seats are filling up fast. The next thing you might be wondering... why is Telerik talking about the Silverlight Firestarter? For starters,... -

Q3 2010 Release Videos for Telerik Reporting
A few weeks ago, the Q3 2010 release made its official appearance. This release marked the addition of various new features across all Telerik products. As with every release, we try our hardest to create video tutorials corresponding to each new product feature. In these videos we generally write the code to some sort of example application. Often we receive requests for this code, so I thought I would save you the trouble of asking and post the code to the Telerik Reporting videos here in this blog entry. Here is a list of all videos related to Telerik Reporting ...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

Some insight on the Telerik Weather Station application
We have recently uploaded the Weather Station demo showing some of Telerik controls for Silverlight in a great rich context. Following Kalin’s blog post announcing the main features, this one is to provide some notes on the technical side of the matter. Here is a list of the main features: Find client’s location upon startup and retrieve weather information if available. Store current locations and favorite ones in the local storage for proper loading on next startup of the application. Use two formats for weather values - Celsius and Fahrenheit. Search for custom location. Display brief location information (on smaller zoom levels) as well as... -

Introducing the TeamPulse TFS Process Template
Successful synchronization in TeamPulse depends on stories and tasks having a workflow (statuses and transitions) that matches the workflow of the Team Foundation Server (TFS) work item type they are mapped to. If your TeamPulse project was created with the “TeamPulse” project template, there is no out-of-the-box TFS process template that will allow you to easily synchronize your TeamPulse data with TFS. For this reason, the TeamPulse v1.0 TFS process template has been created. When to use it The TeamPulse v1.0 TFS process template should be used if both of the following conditions are met. 1. You have an existing ...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

Say hello to the RadBulletGraph for Silverlight/WPF!
Hello everybody! I am Yavor Ivanov and I work in the DataVisualization team here at Telerik. As Vladimir mentioned earlier in his blog post, the Q3 release focuses on dashboards and line of business applications and today I am happy to announce another result of this focus: the RadBulletGraph! The Bullet Graph is created by Stephen Few and it is designed especially for dashboards. This little wonder is very data intensive and easy to read at the same time. In just one Bullet graph you can demonstrate both what your projected and your accomplished goals for a period are, specify qualitative... -

How to create Custom Appointments and Custom Appointment Dialog in Telerik ScheduleView
A common scenario when using the ScheduleView control is to have custom appointments with additional properties that are not by default included in the standard Appointment class. In these cases simply extending the Appointment class is not enough, because we have some more requirements – we want our custom properties to support cancelation of editing (like the standard one does), we want to allow the user to edit the custom properties using the Appointment edit dialog and eventually to render values of the custom properties in the AppointmentItem or/and its ToolTip. In this article we will go through the following steps: Create a custom appointment...May 27, 2021 5 min read
