    Introducing Cell Copy & Paste in RadGridView for WPF+Silverlight

    Our upcoming 2010 Q2 version packs a lot of goodies. One of them is the totally revamped Clipboard support in RadGridView for WPF and Silverlight. Made possible by cell selection which will also be introduced in Q2, the new and improved Clipboard capability is both robust, easy to use and very extensible. By default, users can both copy and paste cells. However, the RadGridView has two additional properties - ClipboardCopyMode and ClipboardPasteMode, which provide thorough control over Clipboard operations. You will be able to choose whether users can copy cells, column headers and/or column footers, or control how pasting works - skip...

    How to: Validate data with SL/WPF RadGridView Part II – asynchronous validation on item/row level via RIA services and INotifyDataErrorInfo interface

    In my previous post I’ve tried to explain RadGridView validation mechanism and support for 2 layers of validation (UI and Data) for a property/cell level. RadGridView exposes same events on a row level too (RowValidating, RowValidated and RowEditEnded). Since this theory you can find on our online help I’ll begin with the interesting stuff - asynchronous validation example.   I’m glad to announce that with the next (2010.Q2) version RadGridView will support asynchronous validation. By asynchronous validation I mean that RadGridView can save a value in its collection and from somewhere (server side usually) to receive a message that this value doesn’t pass some...

    Q2'10 Pre-Release Series: WebUI Test Studio Brings Silverlight Test Automation in the Focus

    Not long after the official launch of our automated testing tools, Telerik’s WebUI Test Studio product team is ready to show you some new bits. Listening to your real-life testing issues and dogfooding Telerik product teams helped a lot to come out with a nice set of features and enhancements such as support for Silverlight out-of-browser testing, Silverlight ChildWindows and Pop-ups, image verification, and many more. You surely remember WebUI Test Studio was the first automated testing solution on the market to provide support for Silverlight UI recording and playback. With Q2 we take Silverlight test automation a step further by...

    A look under the hood at WebUI Test Studio's Execution Engine (Part 1 of 2)

    WebUI Test Studio comes with two options for test execution.  The first is the result of our tight integration with Visual Studio and uses MSTest.exe.  The second, and the subject of this post, is the built-in execution engine ArtOfTest.Runner.exe.  In this post we will look at all the command line options for the ArtOfTest.Runner.exe.  In Part 1 we will look at the two execution command line options as well as how to simplify working with the command prompt.  Part 2 will be dedicated to showing the flexibility of the execution engine by showing the results publishing options. The ArtOfTest.Runner.exe is ...

    Using Telerik’s New LINQ Implementation with SQL Azure

    With the Q1 release of Telerik OpenAccess ORM, Telerik released a brand new LINQ Implementation and supporting Visual Entity Designer. I have shown in this blog how to connect to SQL Server, MySQL, and how to use the new LINQ with RIA Services. Today I will show you how to connect to SQL Azure. To get started, we have to create a new Telerik Domain Model in the server (ASP.NET) project. We’ll create a new Domain Model by right clicking on the server project and selecting “Add” and choosing the Telerik Domain Model from the menu. In the dialog presented by OpenAccess select the database you...

    How - to: Change the Default Keyboard Behavior in RadGridView for Silverlight/ WPF

    RadGridView provides a set of keyboard navigation scenarios that will result in certain consequence of commands to be executed. Thus – and naturally in this case - when clicking on the Del–button will cause deletion of the current item, Ins-button will add a new one into the grid. However, there exists a great possibility that you do not need this pre-coded behavior and you want to predefine it. In that case you can follow up one of the following two scenarios. The first one is to use the basic interface responsible for the keyboard navigation – IKeyboardCommandProvider and implement your own...

    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...
