Productivity ReportingUnderstanding the Report Life Cycle in Telerik Reporting
Have you ever spent a large amount of time designing a Telerik Report only to discover that its output is not entirely what you expected? This is the type of problem that can occur if you don't have a full understanding of the Report Life Cycle. The Report Life Cycle defines what happens and when it happens in Telerik Reporting. Understanding the Life Cycle is crucial to effectively using Telerik Reporting, which is why I plan on spending some time explaining it in detail today. The diagram in Figure 1 provides a high level overview of the sequence of events ...February 05, 2010Web ASP.NET MVCBuilding Real Applications with Telerik MVC & OpenAccess – Introduction
Hi every one, I want to take a moment and introduce you to a series I will be writing here on Telerik blogs. I will be creating an MVC2 application utilizing Telerik MVC extensions, Open Access, and jQuery. The goal is to discuss real world problems that are faced when building this type of application, and to show solutions to these issues. It will start with building a model, then the DAL, and then move onto UI issues. I will also show ways to handle large record sets with OA fetch plans/caching, and show some tips/tricks to help keep the UI...February 04, 2010PeopleTelerik LINQ to M Refresh
SQL Server Modeling (formerly "Oslo") is a new model driven development paradigm. Developers can model their applications using the new M language. M allows you to define a structure for your data as well as represent it in graph based values. Representing values in the M language is very similar to JSON, which will allow you to represent your data in name/value pairs. Here is an example of M values in action: People { { Id=>1, Name=>"Steve", Age=>36}, { Id=>2, Name=>"Mike", Age=>29} } Last summer, Telerik created the industry’s only LINQ to M (Values) implementation. The Telerik LINQ to M implementation allows the developer to use pure LINQ statements...February 04, 2010

ReleaseExpression Blend for WinForms? We are almost there!
As Q1 2010 is approaching we thought it would be a good idea to tell you where we are currently with our new Visual Style Builder (VSB) for Windows Forms. After several months of hard work we are almost done with an application, which may be easily described as Expression Blend, but for Windows Forms. The most important aspect of the new VSB is that it will decrease the amount of time needed to create or tweak themes from days to hours, and even minutes! We have considerably simplified the work flow to allow you to focus on more important things,...February 03, 2010Productivity Document ProcessingProgrammatic export to PDF from Silverlight application
Ever wanted to export a Telerik report from a Silverlight application? This is easily accomplished by instantiating the ReportServiceClient class, which plays the role of proxy to the Telerik Report Service. To specify that you want to render the report we use the RenderAsync method of the ReportServiceClient, which invokes the respective method on the server (remember that it serves as proxy) that would return the rendered report. Since we’ve used an asynchronous method and we do not know when the render would finish, we need to handle the RenderCompleted event. In the RenderCompleted event we get the result from the rendering and decide what to...February 03, 2010Web ASP.NET AJAXRating column for RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX
Here is yet another handy column type coming for RadGrid. The GridRatingColumn will show a RadRating control for every data item in your RadGrid, both in view and edit mode. GridRatingColumn will support 2 modes of interaction. In the standard mode, GridRatingColumn will behave like an ordinary editable column. It will display a read-only RadRating control when the item is in view mode and an editable RadRating control when in edit mode. Alternatively, the rating column will allow you to change the rating value even in view mode. Thus, when RadGrid posts back, you can get the updated value on the server...February 03, 2010
