Windows Phone 7 performance - emulator vs physical device
Part I - App loading time There are a lot of speculations about how different is the execution speed of a Silverlight application when it runs in the WindowsPhone7 emulator and when it runs on the device. Now that we have the RTM devices, we can measure the actual difference! I've prepared 3 very simple WP7 applications: App1 (download). Application that just loads an empty phone application page. App2 (download). Application that loads a phone application page that contains a Pivot control with 2 items, and App3 (download). Application that loads a phone application page that contains a Panorama control with 2 items. I'm measuring the Application initial load time - in this case this is the time between creation... -

Syncing projects with TFS created with the TeamPulse template
The 2010 Q3 beta release adds some great new Team Foundation Server synchronization abilities to TeamPulse. However, as this is the first release of the sync feature, there are some limitations. One of the limitations is that the beta only supports synchronizing TeamPulse and TFS projects created with equivalent templates (see table and screenshots below). This post intends to provide a workaround for synchronizing TeamPulse projects created with the “TeamPulse” template.October 30, 2010 2 min read -

RadLoopingPanel – a look inside (or why Telerik’s RadDatePicker is the fastest date picker tool for Windows Phone 7)
Everything in Windows Phone 7 is Content and Motion. Both of these key Metro parts are combined with a blazing fast performance and unmatched responsiveness throughout the entire OS. Same must be true for all custom applications – no room for performance compromises. And that is why one of the major focuses of the entire development process of RadControls for WP7 is performance. We are even ready to delay some features for a next release for the sake of being feather-light and as fast as possible. As I explained in this blog post, from the very beginning we tried to reuse the... -

Q3 2010 brings a new look for the RadColorPicker for ASP.NET AJAX
Our third official release for the year 2010 will come with a major visual improvement for RadColorPicker for ASP.NET AJAX. While we focused on adding new functionality to the control the past few releases, we decided it was time for a thorough appearance review. Without further ado, here is the comparison between the old the new look (click to open in a new page): Apart from the polishing of the overall look & feel, we “rounded” corners for all palettes and added shadows for the popup palettes. Another major difference is the order of colors in the Default preset palette. I know... -

Bringing User Experience to the next level in RadGridView for WinForms
In the upcoming Q3 2010, we bring the extensibility of RadGridView to the next level. We will add the ability to create and replace the row type for all rows stored in the rows collection which will give our customers almost unlimited control over the customization and design of the control.
