    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....

    Silverlight Upload control just got better

    We are now in the middle between the Beta release of the Q2.2010 and the official one which will be available for download very soon. For the ones that missed the beta release - see the silverlight samples online. One of the major tasks for my team was to optimize the way the Rad Upload component for Silverlight is working. We separated our work in two main directions - improve the performance of the control and take advantage of the Silverlight4 features. The most requested feature from Silverlight 4 was to integrate the drag and drop support from the file system into the Rad Upload. Now...

    CodeStock - Day 1

    So, the first day of CodeStock 2010 is finally coming to a close. It has certainly been an eventful day filled with great sessions, and an exciting Keynote. I started out my day by attending Effective User Interface Design by John Kellar. In this session, I learned about the different things you should take into account when interacting with your customers, designing the applications they want to use. Following this, I spent some time learning about ASP.NET MVC in Dave Giard's session, Building Your First ASP.Net MVC Application. This session was prior to my own session (my very first session ever), Creating an Extensible Photo Application with MEF, so ...
