TeamPulse Helps Your Team Follow Best Practices
One of the features that has inspired the TeamPulse team over the years is Static Code Analysis. In Visual Studio 2010 (Premium and higher) you have the ability to have Visual Studio perform a check on your code to see how well your code conforms to different coding best practices. You can have Visual Studio check for how to best declare error handlers, or even making sure that you dispose of your objects before they go out of scope - it’s like having a fully automated code review without the need for anyone to actually review your code.

Maintaining page state with MEF
Task-It Series This post is part of a series of blog posts and videos about the Task-It (task management) application that I have been building with Silverlight 4 and Telerik's RadControls for Silverlight 4.

RadAsyncUpload Q2 Improvements
The Q2 release is finally here and I am excited to talk about some of the changes in one of the newer controls in the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Suite – the RadAsyncUpload.

Let’s have a look… First the most important new feature, seen above – Multiple file selection! RadAsyncUpload now allows users to select multiple files at once in the File Selection dialog which is very handy in scenarios where uploading a large number of... -
