    With the VSIX deployment in Visual Studio 2010 the world become a better place for developers – we are now able to add small tools to our IDEs and customize them the way we want with just a few megs of download from the Online Gallery. If we don’t use the tool for some time and we don’t want it to eat some of our PC resources we can just disable it through the Extension Manager. If we don’t like a tool we can simply remove it. The VSIX deployment guarantees that a tool is uninstallable, as the deployment is...

    Silverlight ChildWindow and Popup Support in WebUI Test Studio and WebAii Testing Framework

    The 2010 Q1 Service Pack adds an important solution to a common problem in automating Silverlight applications – ChildWindow and Popups automation support. The Problem Automating popups has always been a challenge for the UI automation tools. In Silverlight it’s even more complicated because the popup controls are not part of the SL Visual Tree. WebUI Test Studio could not access those elements in the visual tree and we couldn’t automate them. The Solution With the 2010 Q1 SP release we add a new assembly (Telerik.WebUI.PopupTracker available in the installation Bin folder) to serve as popup tracker. Those who ...

    Service Pack 2 for Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC released

    We just pushed the second service pack out of the door. Again it is mostly a maintenance release addressing the reported issues. Keep in mind though that the service pack is available only to customers who own a commercial license. The open source version (and codeplex project) will get updated only on major releases.

    How - to: Automatically re-order, re-sort and re-group RadGridView (Silverlight and WPF) on change of the underlying DataSource.

    RadGridView for Silverlight and WPF supports sorting, grouping, filtering and editing. However, if a column is sorted for example and edited afterwards, we expect the newly-edited item to find its way in the sorted GridView. But it does not, unless “coded” to do that. So, what we want to achieve is to make the Grid aware of the changes thus enabling it to organize its elements correctly, corresponding to the requirements of the user.  Therefore, the expected behavior of the application will be the following: In order to achieve the desired result, we need to take the following steps: 1. Create Business Object There...

    Styling RadChart for WPF and Silverlight gets easier

    It’s been awhile since the Q1 SP1 2010 release, but let me introduce you to a couple of new approaches to styling, which we added and failed to openly manifest. First, there is the ability to build your own palette of brushes, that will be applied to the RadChart: <telerik:RadChart x:Name="radChart1"> <telerik:RadChart.PaletteBrushes> <SolidColorBrush Color="Magenta" /> <LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="0.75,1"> <GradientStop Color="Red" Offset="0" /> <GradientStop Color="BlueViolet" Offset="0.5" /> <GradientStop Color="#af000000" Offset="1" /> </LinearGradientBrush> </telerik:RadChart.PaletteBrushes> </telerik:RadChart> .csharpcode, .csharpcode pre { font-size: small; color: black; font-family: consolas, "Courier New", courier, monospace; background-color: #ffffff; /*white-space: pre;*/ } .csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; } .csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; } .csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; } .csharpcode .str { color: #006080; } .csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; } .csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; } .csharpcode .asp { background-color: #ffff00; } .csharpcode .html { color: #800000; } .csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000; } .csharpcode .alt { background-color: #f4f4f4; width: 100%; margin: 0em; } .csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; }   Here is the result:   Using images is as...
