    Team Transparency and TeamPulse

    In June, Stephen Forte wrote a great blog post on Transparency and Software Teams. As Stephen mentioned, Telerik has embraced transparency as a key practice of an effective Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) strategy. Quality is a result of feedback cycles – the tighter the feedback cycles on your team, the more ability your team has to recognize issues and resolve them early. In fact, at Telerik we went so far as to try to have almost real-time transparency with the release of our free Project Dashboard tool that sits on top of Microsoft Team Foundation Server. Our goal was ...

    Q2’10 Pre-Release Series: WinForms Suite Brings a Highly-optimized New Version of RadGridView

    The Q2 2010 release cannot do without several fresh additions and improvements in the WinForms toolbox. You can take a look at what the new version of the most widely used control in the toolset – RadGridView, has to offer. We’ve recognized the need to meet the endless demand for a supercharged, enterprise-oriented component that is able to work with large data sets and being flexible enough to perform operations like sorting, grouping, hierarchy and more, without sacrificing performance. Having that as a premise we have reworked our data grid so the end-users would enjoy a more robust and highly-optimized...

    Calling a method of a base class' base class

    Yesterday a colleague of mine asked me a question about how to invoke a method of a base class' base class. Although it is possible it is not a good idea.

    Q2’10 Pre-Release Series: JustCode adds Unit Test Runner

    Q2 2010 release enriches Telerik JustCode feature set with the much anticipated Unit Test Runner, which enables Unit Testing in Visual Studio. The tool will help you easily run, debug, filter and group tests. It supports MSTest, xUnit, NUnit and MbUnit testing frameworks. The Unit Test Runner automatically detects unit tests in your project and opens a Unit Test window, which provides a very intuitive UI.  Navigating through your tests is easy thanks to the filtering functionality - you can filter tests according to different criteria, such as failed, ignored, or search using a custom text filter. Test grouping and...

    Export Beyond Excel with RadGridView for WinForms

    The RadControls for WinForms Q2 2010 beta release has been live for a couple of weeks now, and we have been getting excellent feedback on the fancy new features. Along with several brand new components (RadListControl, RadPageView and RadDesktopAlert to name a few), we have introduced a completely redesigned grid, along with numerous new features and possibilities. Up until now we have supported Export to Excel capabilities in RadGridView, and not much more. Although ExportToExcelML offers some cool and unique features, exporting only to Excel was not enough for our clients. Our integration with Telerik Reporting could not suit all of our client's requirements either. Now,...

    A look under the hood at WebUI Test Studio's Execution Engine (Part 2 of 2)

    In Part 1 we looked at how we can use WebUI Test Studio’s Execution engine to execute tests either using an individual test or a group of test within a test list.  In Part 2, we are going to look at how we can take the results of our execution and publish them to a non-default location. Let’s take a look at the first two options for results publishing, out=[folder path] and root=[folder path]. The out=[folder path] option allows us to copy our results file to any directory on our computer.  For example, let’s say that we multiple projects ...

    Using the new Image Verification feature

    With the release of Q2 (coming in couple of weeks), our WebUI Test Studio will enable customers to build image verifications against specific elements on their pages. Image verification can be used to verify exact visual matches for both HTML pages and Silverlight applications. To record an Image Verification step in WebUI Test Studio, follow the steps below: 1. On the recorder toolbar, enable the highlighting surface: 2.  Hover over the element on the page that you wish to visually verify. For this example, I have navigated to the google.com home page and I’m going to verify the Google logo ...

    Frozen / Pinned rows in RadGridView for Silverlight

    A common UX pattern when working with large tabular data is the so called frozen rows or pinned rows. This is very popular in the spreadsheet world and in some text editors as well.     I have tried to resemble this behavior with RadGridView for Silverlight. The user may pin a row thus preventing it from vertical scrolling. This way important items may be kept inside the viewport regardless the position of the vertical scrollbar. Pinned items remain on top for easy access.   Adding this behavior to RadGridView is simple and painless: <telerik:RadGridView x:Name="RadGridView1" > <i:Interaction.Behaviors> <local:FrozenRowsBehavior/> </i:Interaction.Behaviors> </telerik:RadGridView>   These lines should be all the XAML needed to enable it....
