Connecting Telerik Reporting to SQL Azure via ADO.NET
Download SqlAzure.AdoNet (C# VS2010) - 149KB Microsoft SQL Azure is a relational database service that allows you to host your SQL Server based database in the cloud. Since cloud computing is gaining a lot of popularity recently, we decided to demonstrate how to connect and consume an existing SQL Azure database with Telerik Reporting. There are three basic methods for connecting Telerik Reporting to a SQL Azure database: Using ADO.NET and the SqlDataSource component. Using Telerik Open Access and the OpenAccessDataSource component. Using Microsoft Entity Framework and the EntityDataSource component. In this blog post we will cover how to connect Telerik Reporting to SQL Azure via ADO.NET. The other two methods will be discussed in subsequent blog posts of the same series. For... -

Real-time update of Sparklines inside RadGridView SL/WPF
Since Q3 2010 Telerik introduced the RadSparklines control. These new controls have remarkable performance as Yavor already showed. Today we will continue the topic of performance, however, we will do it in the context of a more real-world scenario. One application of the sparklines is to show financial data. Recently Vladimir Enchev blogged about real-time updates in RadGridView. Since sparklines and grids go hand-in-hand together when visualizing data we decided to prepare a small demo showing how to integrate both controls while still maintaining very good performance: In our project we took the real-time grid demo and also added some sparklines to it to illustrate... -

RadControls for Windows Phone 7 – an in-depth comparison with MS Toolkit
Many users have asked the question “What are the differences between your controls and their equivalents in the Microsoft’s Toolkit for WP7”. With this article I will try to give you a more detailed perception on the added value of RadControls for Windows Phone 7. Please note that this is “our” point of view and how we see the differences between our suite and the Toolkit. We by no means belittle the efforts of Microsoft’s team that created such a nice components package. I will list only the components/features that are present both in Telerik’s suite and the Toolkit. All of the... -

Server sorting and filtering with WCF RIA Services and Telerik Data Virtualization for Silverlight
I’m happy to announce that with our upcoming service pack (Q3 2010 SP1) you will be able to sort, filter and load records on demand with WCF RIA Services and our VirtualQueryableCollectionView. To enable this we’ve added two extension methods for EntityQuery<T> and now you can use directly VirtualQueryableCollectionView SortDescriptors and FilterDescriptors: var context = new NorthwindDomainContext(); var query = context.GetOrder_DetailsQuery().OrderBy(o => o.OrderID); var view = new VirtualQueryableCollectionView() { LoadSize = 10, VirtualItemCount = 100 }; view.ItemsLoading += (s, e) => { var queryToLoad = query .IncludeTotalCount(true) ... -

Upgrading projects made with Telerik OpenAccess ORM
Whether you have just installed the new release of Telerik OpenAccess ORM or downloaded a demo that has been built with an older version of our tool, you most certainly have had to remove and add again your OpenAccess references in your existing projects. In order to make it easier we have provided the option of doing this automatically. However it seems like this functionality has not been found by too many users. It can be found in the OpenAccess menu Telerik -> OpenAccess -> Upgrade References. Executing this will, in a second, upgrade all the references to OpenAccess in all...December 09, 2010 1 min read -

Telerik Data Services Wizard Updates
If you are creating OData or WCF services in your application and have been using the Telerik Data Services Wizard, things just got a whole lot easier. As I have shown before, you can go from File|New to a new CRUD application in 30 seconds using the wizard. With the Q3 release last month, Telerik gives you more control over the wizard and its output. Some of the new features are: the ability to isolate your service in its own project, the ability to select which CRUD methods gets created for each entity, and Silverlight data validation. Let’s take a look. When you run the wizard, on its first... -

Drag from external programs into you WPF applications using RadDragAndDropManager
Since Q3 2010 we have introduced new drag mode, enabling native drag from and to your WPF applications. In this post I will show how to successfully perform drag drop operations from external program into your application through the RadDragAndDropManager API. This can be achieved in several easy steps: 1. Set RadDragAndDropManager.EnableNativeDrag=”true”. This will enable native operations (if your application runs in full trust). The easiest way to do this is set it in StartUp event. private void Application_Startup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e) { RadDragAndDropManager.EnableNativeDrag = true; } 2. Set the RadDragAndDropManager properties to enable the drop operation: telerik:RadDragAndDropManager.AllowDrop="True" telerik:RadDragAndDropManager.DropQuery="FileListGrid_DropQuery" telerik:RadDragAndDropManager.DropInfo="FileListGrid_DropInfo" and add the corresponding...
