Mock. Just Mock. JustMock.
It's my pleasure to announce the newest member of the Telerik product family – JustMock . We’re about to release the first beta of this new product on the 12th of April and the first official version is expected to be part of the Q2 release. Except JustMock, there’re some other big announcements we’re going to make on the 12th of April so please, stay tuned. This is just announcement 1/3. JustMock, as can be inferred from its name, is a mocking tool that will help you create better unit tests by making it easier for you to create mock objects (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mock_object)...by Hristo KosevApril 06, 2010 -

Displaying Tweets in an ASP.NET UserControl with TweetSharp
As I mentioned in my previous blog post, I'll be having a little fun over the next few weeks talking about all of the Social Media APIs I've been experimenting with. I thought I would start out today by talking about one of the most popular services, Twitter. Twitter is essentially a microblogging service that allows its users to post messages of up to 140 characters long known as Tweets. Users can subscribe to each other and see tweets from all of their subscriptions in their main feed listings. Due to this ease of providing and receiving updates to and ...April 06, 2010 -

Using the RadTransitionControl in Task-It
Download Source Code Task-It Series This post is part of a series of blog posts and videos about the Task-It (task management) application that I have been building with Silverlight 4 and Telerik's RadControls for Silverlight 4. For a full index of these resources, please go here. One of the posts listed in the index provides a full source download for the application. Intro to the RadTransitionControl In a recent Ask the Experts webinar I showed a simple solution that had similarities to one that I had used in my recent MVVM post, but had a few extra twists on it. I have since been asked if I...April 05, 2010 -

Social Media APIs and Their C# Counterparts
Whether it's talking about current events or sharing photos of a family vacation, the world is now addicted to social networks. Businesses recognize this, and these days every business wants social media addressed in their applications. Facebook, Twitter, and other sites provide powerful APIs you can use to harness the power of social networking in your own applications. However, most of these APIs tend to return data formatted in any number of syndication formats that can be quite painful to work with. Luckily, there are many free .NET based libraries that make interacting with these APIs a breeze. Over the next several weeks, I'll be posting some information and examples ...April 05, 2010 -

Data Binding with RadScheduler for WinForms
RadScheduler for WinForms is highly customizable component that offers functionality similar to that of the Calendar included with MS Outlook. When working with RadScheduler, developers can easily bind data sources directly to it using an instance of SchedulerBindingDataSource. The provided data source can be in the form of a database or business objects. The only requirement is that the data source must conform to a specific structure and provide specific fields. Today, I will explain how to set up basic data binding in RadScheduler using SchedulerBindingDataSource and an Access database. The Base Application For this entry, it should be noted ...April 02, 2010 -

Some fun with RadGridView for Silverlight …literally !
April Fools' Day is a great excuse for me to do something funny with RadGridView. So today’s post will have less geekness and more fun than usually. Silverlight being a great platform and RadGridView being enormously flexible control provoked me to do something that you can not exactly call the typical Line-Off-Business application. So enjoy this small Pexeso game clone created with the help of RadGridView for Silverlight and some standard Silverlight re-styling techniques. The rules are simple : Try to open two identical cards at the same time. The goal of the game – try to open all cards this way. My best score was...April 01, 2010
