    Q2’10 Pre-Release Series: the XAML Suites Add New Controls, RichTextBox for Silverlight, New Transparent Theme and more

    The spotlight of the Q2 2010 release for RadControls for Silverlight falls on the officially introduced RadRichTextBox for Silverlight, allowing you to bring true MS Word-like content editing experience to your end-users. The new control offers rich text editing and formatting capabilities as well as out-of-browser support and printing. As one of the most demanded features from the Telerik developer community during the preview release, import and export of Html, Docx, and Xaml are already included in the control.  The Q2 2010 release stays faithful to Telerik’s tradition of releasing the same controls for RadControls for Silverlight and WPF, allowing for...

    The Telerik CDN – Now with SSL support too!

    A not-so-minor drawback of our original CDN implementation was that it didn’t support secure sites. Your application will still work, but the Telerik controls will fall back to the slower Amazon S3 service when an HTTPS request is detected. But that’s a thing of the past! The Amazon CloudFront service now supports HTTPS Access and you can take advantage of it immediately.   Joy all around Simply set the BaseSecureUrl property to the corresponding values for RadScriptManager/RadStyleSheetManager:  <telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server">    <CdnSettings BaseSecureUrl="https://d2i2wahzwrm1n5.cloudfront.net" TelerikCdn="Enabled" /> </telerik:RadScriptManager>   <telerik:RadStyleSheetManager id="RadStyleSheetManager1"  runat="server" >    <CdnSettings BaseSecureUrl="https://d35islomi5rx1v.cloudfront.net" TelerikCdn="Enabled" /> </telerik:RadStyleSheetManager>  You can also do so through the global web.config settings:  <appSettings>  ...

    Using jQuery selectors in WebUI Test Studio

    One of the key factors to the increased popularity of jQuery is its powerful selector syntax that can be used to find elements in the DOM. The syntax enables simple selections like selecting an element using an ID (#my_id) to more complex mutli-element selections and filtering. The power and popularity of jQuery selectors prompted many of our customers to request support for similar selection/query syntax in our WebAii Testing Framework. It is worth noting here that WebUI Test Studio is built on top off the WebAii Framework and customers using WebUI Test Studio have full access to the framework API ...

    Telerik Wins Microsoft Partner of the Year for Central and Eastern Europe

    I am proud to share that Telerik won the Microsoft Partner of the Year award for the CEE region in the ISV category with its Sitefinity ASP.NET CMS product. This award feels very special as we competed with hundreds of companies and some really great products in the ISV space. It's also coming for Sitefinity, a really great web CMS product that is powering the sites of many renown companies (just check out our gallery to browse the 1,000+ showcase items) but which had not won too many major awards so far, unlike Telerik developer tools products which have received hundreds of industry awards throughout the years. What...

    RadTreeView for ASP.NET AJAX now supports WAI-ARIA

    Starting with the 2010 Q2 Beta release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX, RadTreeView adheres to the WAI-ARIA specification for Accessible Rich Internet Applications. With this feature on-board, it’s now possible for screen readers and other accessibility tools (supporting WAI-ARIA) to semantically parse the html structure of the tree. Summary of the new feature Making a quick peek inside the html of RadTreeView with enabled support for WAI-ARIA, one can see the “roles”, “states” and “properties” that the standard requires. They all are represented through attributes in the html structure of the tree, decorating the elements with semantic meaning. Having them applied, the...

    Two weeks till JustMock's first official appearance.

    Three months have passed since we released the first beta of JustMock. We've improved JustMock quite a lot since then, and we've fixed almost all of the reported problems. We also implemented many requested features. As we announced back in April, we'll make JustMock's first official version part of the Q2 release (round about the 12th of July). Most likely, the first question that comes to mind (if you're considering using JustMock) is "Should I use the first version of this product or should I wait until it is more mature?” I'll try to answer this question by providing a list of what...

    Q2'10 Pre-Release Series: Telerik JustMock’s Official Release is Just Around the Corner

    Back in April we introduced a new developer productivity tool called JustMock. Its purpose is to help developers write better unit tests and save time testing their code. The tool spurred a lot of interest and many people were eager to test the beta. This helped us greatly improve the tools functionality and feature set. Q2 2010 is going to be a milestone release for JustMock as we are officially introducing its commercial version. The new version is going to include many new features as well as offer a more robust and swift performance. One of the new features coming with...

    JustMock. Not just mock. A tale about duality.

    As JustMock is approaching its release date I decided to blog about it and more precisely about its dual nature. Probably you already know JustMock supports two (proxy and elevated) modes. That's why I am speaking about duality. In fact the duality in JustMock has many aspects. We could even say JustMock was built on two continents as one of the brains behind JustMock is working remotely on the project. So, duality is everywhere :) By the way, check out Mehfuz's blog, it is excellent place where you can see JustMock in action. I've been thinking for some time about doing...

    Transparency and Software Teams

    A few months ago I wrote to you about why teams succeed. I talked about the “high bandwidth” team that stressed communication and collaboration. While I believe that communication and collaboration are the keys to success of any team, I always felt that there was another important component to the equation. I visited a large retail global customer here in Hong Kong today. They are working on a large application for their product development group using Silverlight 4.0 and have teams in the United States, India, and Hong Kong. We were talking first about their use of Telerik tools and then the conversation moved on to teams and process....
