Wow, this is a big achievement and we are extremely proud of it. This is perhaps the culmination, in terms of public recognition, of several years of intense R&D and the result of our “Best of breed” strategy. While many vendors focus on breadth, our goal has always been to be the leaders – from the smallest component to the complete experience of using a suite that spans over the whole .NET stack. Thanks to all customers for the endless support and patience. We couldn’t have done it without you. As usual, we can only promise that this award will not...
Great news! Cell selection will be among the new features that we are going to introduce with Q2 2010. I guess many of you have been waiting for this feature for quite some time now and the wait is almost over. You can give this new feature a try by downloading the beta version of RadControls for WPF/Silverlight Q2 2010. Let me guide you through the new API. We have added a new property called SelectionUnit which specifies what units are selected when you are interacting with the grid. Currently the SelectionUnit enumeration has two possible values – Cell or FullRow. FullRow represents the...

The Q2 2010 release introduces a brand new RadReminder component. Its purpose is to enable users to track different objects and their events. The architecture is pretty simple and intuitive and allows any IRemindObject implementation to be monitored by a RadReminder instance. The component comes with a built-in dialog that displays all the currently tracked objects in a grid and enables you to visually snooze or dismiss an item. The dialog is completely customizable and localizable and gives you the ability to modify each object’s display text and icon. Built-in reminder dialog Dialog’s display routine raises several events, allowing you to cancel...
An important part of the new stuff that is coming with Q2 2010 is the brand new RadDesktopAlert component. As a part of the WinForms suite, it fully supports the Telerik Presentation Framework which means it can be flexibly styled in the Visual Style Builder, as well as flawlessly integrated in any type of Windows Forms based applications. This component comes with a bunch of predefined themes, in fact all that we ship out of the box, and with a convenient API that allows for different modifications according to the requirements of a specific application context. One of the key features that...

The brand new RadPageView control is aiming high to provide a full replacement for the currently existing RadTabStrip and RadPanelBar controls by shipping the same functionality with a simpler approach and improved performance. This new control addresses many issues present in the old components, and is based on a very flexible and extensible platform that is fully compatible with the Telerik Presentation Framework, and allows for implementing different layout scenarios as quick as never before. The architecture of this control is pretty simple. It consists of pages and items where each item is associated with a page and it can be used to display...
We've just released a beta version of the upcoming Q2 release of JustCode and here's a short list of what we've managed to include in this build: We've included the much anticipated unit test runner. We've added support for MSTest and xUnit for now but for the official release we'll add support for NUnit and MbUnit.
Using the JustCode's test runner you can easily run tests, debug tests, filter and group tests, etc.
We plan to improve even further the unit testing story in JustCode but we'll keep that in secret for now :)
We've improved the Find Usages...
Many applications require access to the file system to create, modify or delete files and folders. But how do you make sure that such application behaves correctly? You do it with tests of course but there is a catch: In general it is not a good idea to have tests that are performing Input/Output operations like accessing files and databases. When you need to test I/O operations mock objects are your friend. And before I go into more details let me point out some of the benefits of mocking. Usually faster than performing I/O operations You do not have have to deal...
