    Telerik Assembly Minifier

    What is it? Telerik Assembly Minifier is a tool that lets you extract only the controls’ classes and resources you need to use in your application development, thus significantly reducing the size of the assemblies. Using the Assembly Minifier you will achieve significantly better loading time when the XAP files containing the minified (optimized) assemblies are to be loaded on the client side. Reducing (minifying) the size of Telerik Silverlight assemblies In order to minify the assemblies, you should: Open the application at: http://minifier.telerik.com.

    RadPageView for WinForms: What Inside?

    The brand new RadPageView control is aiming high to provide a full replacement for the currently existing RadTabStrip and RadPanelBar controls by shipping the same functionality with a simpler approach and improved performance. This new control addresses many issues present in the old components, and is based on a very flexible and extensible platform that is fully compatible with the Telerik Presentation Framework, and allows for implementing different layout scenarios as quick as never before. The architecture of this control is pretty simple. It consists of pages and items where each item is associated with a page and it can be used to display...

    JustCode Q2 Beta available for download.

    We've just released a beta version of the upcoming Q2 release of JustCode and here's a short list of what we've managed to include in this build: We've included the much anticipated unit test runner. We've added support for MSTest and xUnit for now but for the official release we'll add support for NUnit and MbUnit. Using the JustCode's test runner you can easily run tests, debug tests, filter and group tests, etc. We plan to improve even further the unit testing story in JustCode but we'll keep that in secret for now :)   We've improved the Find Usages...

    Mocking the File System to Improve Testability (with JustMock)

    Many applications require access to the file system to create, modify or delete files and folders. But how do you make sure that such application behaves correctly? You do it with tests of course but there is a catch: In general it is not a good idea to have tests that are performing Input/Output operations like accessing files and databases. When you need to test I/O operations mock objects are your friend. And before I go into more details let me point out some of the benefits of mocking. Usually faster than performing I/O operations You do not have have to deal...

    Blazing-fast list control. Meet RadListControl for WinForms

    We are happy to announce that for Q2 2010 we will be introducing a few new controls . Two of those are actually implementations of quite old controls. I am talking about RadListControl (the new list box) and RadDropDownList (the new combo box). The main purpose in the lives of those two guys is to replace the current RadListBox and RadComboBox and to address their current shortcomings without breaking any existing applications. The new controls will coexist with the old ones and they will be faster… a lot faster, and more flexible in terms of extending and/or replacing functionality as...

    Adding custom interfaces to your mock instance.

    Previously, i made a post  showing how you can leverage the dependent interfaces that is implemented by JustMock during the creation of mock instance. It could be a informative post that let you understand how JustMock behaves internally for classes or interfaces implement other interfaces into it. But the question remains, how you can add your own custom interface to your target mock. In this post, i am going to show you just that. Today, i will not start with a dummy class as usual rather i will use two most common interfaces in the .NET framework  and create a mock...

    How Do You See Something Which Is Transparent?

    This was the question which has been bugging some of the Telerik’s creative minds while working on our newest theme for WPF and Silverlight controls. We wanted it be unique and cool and yet fit serious business cases. We wanted you to have fun and get things done at the same time. We wanted it to blend with your design right from the moment you choose to use it. Instead of hitting you with a wall of text – let me just show it to you … Ladies and Gentlemen – the Transparent Theme in action. The theme will be part...

    Over the next few days we will be at TechEd New Orleans and we will be posting a few blog posts to recap highlights of our day.   TechEd begun with keynote by Bob Muglia.

    A Binding Navigator in the XAML world

    Remember the good old Binding Navigator of the glorious WinForms past? (If you don’t, this will refresh your memory) Last week a client asked or a Binding Navigator control in WPF. Now, this is somewhat out of place in WPF and Silverlight where the data binding mechanism is completely different, but if you are porting an old Windows Forms application and would wish to preserve the general user experience, such a control would be invaluable. This small control behaves much like the old Binding Navigator, while being fully MVVM-enabled through commands. You bind the control to your collection of items, then access...
