So, let's start with a demo program that I will explain line-by-line. using System; using Telerik.CodeWeaver.Hook; namespace ConsoleApplication4 { public sealed class TargetClass1 { public TargetClass1(string text) { Text = InitText = text; } public string InitText { get; private set;... -

New goodies in RadGridView for WinForms: Drag and drop with RadGridViewDragDropService
One of the new goodies that came with RadGridView Q2 2010 is the brand new drag and drop API, which offers a very flexible way to create custom drag and drop scenarios with ease. Each instance of RadGridView is associated with RadGridViewDragDropService that handles user drag and drop operations. It gives you out-of-the-box reordering of columns and movement of items between the group panel and the columns header. The service is also responsible for rows reordering in unbound mode when grouping and sorting features are not applied. In many cases, developers need to implement complex custom scenarios that are not covered by our products by default.... -

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. Here is a common scenario one can hit the problem with: 1. Add and record a WebUI Test Studio test in Visual Studio 2010. 2. Convert a step to code. 3. Go to Test View and run the test – you may get an error similar to the following one: As you may note VS looks for the .dll in the TestResults and it’s Out ...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

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...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

Usability tips with OpenAccess
As solutions get more complicated every day so does the domain model. Navigating in the designer can become quite frustrating if you have a rather large database with 100+ tables. There is however a light at the end of the tunnel. There are a few often overlooked features of the designer that can make your life easier when dealing with large models. First of all you should get familiar with search bar on top of the Model Explorer and the Schema Explorer. It is the easiest way to find a class or a table by its name. So what do you do...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

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 ...May 27, 2021 2 min read
