Silverlight Recruiting Application Part 2 - Prism, MVVM, and the Challenge
For anyone who tuned into part 1 of this series, there was an interesting comment from Ben (one of the Telerik MVPs who also shows up quite often with intelligent commentary in a variety of locations) about the idea of using Prism, MVVM, and WCF RIA together in their current state. This actually fell in line with a number of other conversations I have had with developers over the last few weeks and I realized something very important- he's quite right about the state of things. Much like 7 is the magic number for Windows, 4 is going to be the magic...February 25, 2010

The Thursday Weekly Webinar will provide a complete overview of a brand new tool shipping with the RadControls for WinForms in Q1: the new Visual Style Builder for WinForms.

How fast is your chart?
Howdy folks! It has been a while since I last blogged. To compensate for it, however, I am bringing some exciting news to our loyal RadChart users. While not blogging I have been busy working with two of the smartest people in our company to bring you some really dramatic performance improvements to RadChart. I have to admit that in the past performance was not paramount for our product. We focused on features, appearance, ease of use to produce one of the most versatile charting components on the market. Today, however, marks the beginning of another direction. Starting with the Q1 2010 release,...February 23, 2010 -

WebReal-World Recruiting Application using RadControls for Silverlight 3 [part 1]
As in any business, with prosperity comes the need to bring in more people to handle the workload. Telerik is no stranger to that, but here in the US office this has previously been a process heavy with Excel files, carefully tagging emails in Outlook, and relying on the Outlook calendar to ensure that interviews and the like are all in synch. This worked when the US office was working out of someone's house a few years back, but with two offices, multiple brand new and open positions, and more on the way, we realized we'd need to figure out some...February 22, 2010

WebLarge Data Concerns with Web UIs
When creating a new web application it is very easy to overlook how the system will handle large amounts. This is in part due to the fact that most of the systems we create are brand new, and completely empty. However, this type of oversight can quickly lead to systems that are completely unusable once they are put into production. I remember a project I was working on many years ago were the designer had implemented a combo box selection for “type” selection on a particular page. The selection was for adding types of wire to an order. Well, on...February 20, 2010

Desktop WPFWPF / Silverlight: How-to improve user experience when placing RadChart in a container that changes size rapidly on user demand
I must admit that coming up with a meaningful and relatively short title was really hard this time. Anyway, here is the scenario: You have a page layout with Grid panel with several cells and one of the cells is occupied by a RadChart control instance. Your requirements indicate that the grid layout should be flexible so you have placed several grid splitters in your panel as well. Soon enough, one of your QAs decides to play around with the GridSplitter and notices that the application slows down and becomes irresponsive (and can even crash) when the splitter is dragged around...February 19, 2010ReleaseQ1 2010 Beta of Telerik XAML RadControls is now available
