The World of Model–View–ViewModel - through my eyes.
The Big UI Problem Since the User Interface came on the scene of software development, it is constantly one of the biggest problems. It is really hard to design the architecture of the User Interfaces, User Interactions and deal with all the logic around, all the different states and behaviors. It is not an easy task also to separate the UI logic from the other layers of the architecture. On the other hand, even if you develop the whole application, you should start to think about how to automatically test the UI (unit tests, components tests, integration tests…), how to maintain it in a way... -

RadMediaPlayer true FullScreen support
Telerik's official Q3 2010 release just came public introducing many improvements and new features. One of them is RadMediaPlayer's full screen support. Prior to Q3 2010 release developers had to implement additional logic to provide full screen support for their apps using RadMediaPlayer. With the new release users can experience true full screen apps without any custom code. Full screen support is build inside the media player but can be easily customized by using the IsFullScreenProperty or attaching a handler to the FullScreenChanged event. In addition, two new properties are available which you can use to customize whether the video controls panel and... -

Expression Descriptors in Q3 2010 for WPF & Silverlight
Another four months have gone by and another awesome release of RadControls has arrived! One of the exciting new features in this release are the so-called 'Expression Descriptors'. Previously, whenever our clients wanted to filter data but needed even more control than our good old FilterDescriptor could provide, they had to subclass it and override some of its methods. Even though that approach works, it is tedious and cumbersome. And, as much as LINQ Expressions rock, having to manually generate expression trees by hand... yuck! The new FilterDescriptor<T> allows you to directly plug a predicate that determines which items are filtered. You... -

Keep your project and Toolbox in sync
I guess the larger part of you have to maintain various projects using different versions of a Telerik suite, let’s say RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. Having in mind the above mentioned scenario, working with two projects referring different versions of the Telerik.Web.UI assembly there are the following options : Have parallel installs of both the RadControls versions on your machine. This one works fine until one day, while in a hurry, you just expand a RadControls group in your Toolbox, drag a control over your page, attempt to build the project and find it broken. The reason for...
