    Explained: RadGridView for WinForms virtualization and its implications. The case with CellElement and RowElement

    As the Logical vs. Visual Grid Structure help article states, RadGridView for WinForms uses virtualization for its cells/rows and as of Q2 2010 there is column virtualization as well. What is virtualization? To put it simply, when you bind RadGridView to a DataTable with 1000 rows, you get 1000 data row objects created in RadGridView (of type GridViewDataRowInfo). However, not all data row objects can be visible at the same time in the RadGridView estate in your application. This is why only the visual rows that can be shown in the estate get created (these visual rows are of type GridDataRowElement), or about...

    New goodies in RadGridView for WinForms: Drag and drop with RadGridViewDragDropService

    One of the new goodies that came with RadGridView Q2 2010 is the brand new drag and drop API, which offers a very flexible way to create custom drag and drop scenarios with ease. Each instance of RadGridView is associated with RadGridViewDragDropService that handles user drag and drop operations. It gives you out-of-the-box reordering of columns and movement of items between the group panel and the columns header. The service is also responsible for rows reordering in unbound mode when grouping and sorting features are not applied. In many cases, developers need to implement complex custom scenarios that are not covered by our products by default....

    The first Ribbon Bar for Silverlight, to fully comply with the Microsoft fluent UI guidelines.

    This week we will release new major feature for the RadRibbonBar – keyboard access. KeyTips provide keyboard access to every control in the Ribbon. They are activated by pressing the ALT key, following by the key for the button you want to activate. KeyTips are very well explained at the Microsoft’s fluent UI guidelines, you can read more about KeyTips on msdn… This feature is in the Required section from the Ribbon specification, but it’s nature and hard implementation details was preventing us from implementing it sooner. Currently this feature is the one with most votes in our PITS system, thus we considered it for...

    Localizing the Validation

    The example will work with the latest internal build and the feature required will be released in the Silverlight4, 2010.Q2.SP1. The Full Source Code is here. A few months ago we noticed a lot of XAML code being copied around. It was supposed to enable validation in our controls. It is all about those red borders showing around controls like RadNumericUpDown, RadComboBox, RadDatePicker etc. So we have created the ValidationTooltip in the assembly Telerik.Windows.Controls, namespace Telerik.Windows.Controls.Chromes that was supposed to encapsulate these visuals keeping all the storyboards and templates at one place. This all happened in Silverlight 3. Now in Silverlight 4...

    VS 2010 Disabled Deployment Trouble with UI Coded Tests

    VS 2010 introduced a surprise for us – the deployment feature is disabled by default. Let me explain with this post how this hits everyone running coded tests and how to resolve the problem. Here is a common scenario one can hit the problem with: 1. Add and record a WebUI Test Studio test in Visual Studio 2010. 2. Convert a step to code. 3. Go to Test View and run the test – you may get an error similar to the following one:   As you may note VS looks for the .dll in the TestResults and it’s Out ...

    Custom Code Generation

    The good thing about the code generation is that you can easily modify it to suite your needs. Today I will show you how to modify the code generation template so that it generates string properties that HtmlEncode and HtmlDecode the values in their respective setter and getter. The desired outcome will look like :  private string firstName;   public virtual string FirstName  {      get     {         return HttpContext.Current.Server.HtmlDecode(this.firstName);     }     set     {         this.firstName = HttpContext.Current.Server.HtmlEncode(value);     } } You can achieve this in a couple of steps. First we need to locate the T4 templates that OpenAccess uses. The C# templates are usually located under C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\OpenAccess ORM\dsl\CodeGenerationTemplates\CSharp. Note that it would...
