Telerik & Kendo UI Blog

I’m about to leave for a 12 day road trip that will take me to six different countries on three continents. My first stop, arranged by Adam Cogan and Telerik, is an Agile Seminar in Sydney, Australia. Should be fun, at least they already know what Rugby is and will get my sports references.  I will also be speaking on Silverlight at the Sydney .NET User Group. I’ll be doing my WCF walk through and then a RIA Services demo, about 2 hours, no slides, only Visual Studio. In addition to my presentation, I will also be demoing the new Telerik Data Services Wizard at the user group and show how...

In this post, i will be showing how you can mock property sets with your expected values or even action using JustMock. To begin, we have a sample interface: public interface IFoo {     int Value { get; set; } } Now,  we can create a mock that will throw on any call other than the one expected, generally its a strict mock and we can do it like: bool expected = false;  var foo = Mock.Create<IFoo>(BehaviorMode.Strict);  Mock.ArrangeSet(() => { foo.Value = 1; }).DoInstead(() => expected  = true);    foo.Value = 1;    Assert.True(expected); Here , the method for running though our expectation for set is Mock.ArrangeSet , where we can directly set our expectations or can even set matchers into...

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. For a full index of these resources, please go here. One of the posts listed in the index provides a full source download for the application, and I will be referring to that source code in this post. Prior topics In my last 2 event-related posts I talked about passing information between components via events and using events in providing feedback to a user when time consuming operations are in progress. I also blogged recently...

From time to time customers ask us if it is possible to implement client-side binding with our RadListView for ASP.Net AJAX.  Although, this is not currently available as a built-in feature, one can very easily extend the control with some jQuery magic and Microsoft's proposed client-side templates.   I have prepared a small sample app which demonstrates a basic implementation of client-side population through infinite scroll. The actual functionality is wrapped into a good old Ajax Control Extender, which can be hooked to a RadListView. The sample contains two pages - one illustrating full client-side population, and another showing an initial server-side...

Creating custom columns for RadGridView is super easy - all you need to do is to override CreateCellElement and/or CreateCellEditElement methods and return desired controls. To illustrate this I’ve made a column with RadProgressBar for view mode and RadSlider for edit mode:   And here is the code: public class GridViewPercentageColumn : GridViewDataColumn { public override FrameworkElement CreateCellElement(GridViewCell cell, object dataItem) { var bar = cell.Content as RadProgressBar; if (bar == null) ...

It seems that there are many developers that want to use this combo, as my previous blog posts are quite popular. The problem with the suggested solution is that you need to customize the control template of RadComboBox. There is a much easier way to put a RadTreeView in a Popup – by using a RadDropDownButton: <telerik:RadDropDownButton HorizontalContentAlignment="Left" DropDownWidth="200" IsOpen="{Binding SelectedItem, Converter={StaticResource ObjectToFalseConverter}, ElementName=TreeView, Mode=TwoWay}" Content="{Binding SelectedItem.Text, FallbackValue='Please, select an item.', ElementName=TreeView}"> <telerik:RadDropDownButton.DropDownContent> <telerik:RadTreeView x:Name="TreeView" ItemsSource="{StaticResource Items}" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ItemTemplate}" /> </telerik:RadDropDownButton.DropDownContent> </telerik:RadDropDownButton> .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; }   This way you could easily access the RadTreeView instance in the code-behind, however I would recommend using a ViewModel and bindings instead.   The DropDownButton Content property is bound to the SelectedItem property of...

A few developers asked how to use the RadTransitionControl to enable transition effects in their applications especially in RadTabControl. The RadTransitionControl and TransitionPresenter can be used instead of ContentControl and ContentPresenter to enable some animations when their content changes. Source Code RadTabControl usually have some RadTabItems and displays the Headers of the RadTabItems with ItemsPresenter and the Content of the Selected RadTabItem in a ContentPresenter. So if we edit the template of the RadTabControl and replace the ContentPresenter with TransitionPresenter the content should switch with animation when you go from one tab to another. It’s easier to use RadTransitionControl than TransitionPresenter but the Presenter is more lightweight than the Control. We will demonstrate how to use the RadTransitionControl first....

In order to provide a better usability with the 2010 Q1 release we introduced the new Visual Designer for Telerik Open Access ORM. We have been focusing on what we can do to improve your experience using OpenAccess. We have also introduced the new Context replacing the Object Scopes and various types of mappings used to define our model (currently only in reverse mapping scenarios). This being a major change we felt we needed to revise our Code Library assets and show you how to use OpenAccess to its full potential. Below is a list of the revised examples : ·...
