Shortly after the Q3 2009 release we developed the Sales Dashboard Application for Windows Forms - a composite business
application for visualizing a company’s sales force performance. It is built with the Q3 2009 versions of Telerik’s WinForms components, RadChart for WPF, Telerik OpenAccess ORM, and implements the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit for WinForms, which helps in the development of smart-client line-of-business (LOB) applications. Since the interest in this application is still high, we felt the need to have a dedicated place to discuss this application. In case you have not played with it yet, download the source code, and enjoy! Also check: Silverlight/WPF Sales...

I’ll be speaking at the Great Indian
Developer Summit from April 20-23 at the Indian
Institute of Science in Bengaluru, India. This will be my second time to the GIDS
and it will be hard to top last year’s adventure of Video

I will be speaking on .NET day on:

how you can do it with SL 4.0 too, which is *much* easier!)

Last week we published the Telerik Reporting roadmap. Our plans for Q1 2010 (and for 2010 in general) are to give the developer a reporting tool with greater
calculating power that will allow for full control over the data
management and presentation. Review the Telerik Reporting Roadmap. The other product roadmaps are also publicly available: RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX RadControls for ASP.NET MVC RadControls for WinForms
RadControls for Silverlight RadControls for WPF OpenAccess ORM
We are running a Reporting case-study contest
with cool prizes! Share how Telerik Reporting
has helped you in the work you do, what problems/impediments it solved for you, and how Telerik made a difference, and you could win a $500 Amazon gift certificate! For extra exposure of your work, all case studies will be published on our site, and the winner will get the
opportunity to publish a video case study of their project on TelerikTV. All you need to do to enter is send a case study on a working Telerik
Reporting project that you have developed. The three most interesting case studies...

Sometimes when performing ajax databinding with the MVC grid you may end up with unexpected result: server error 500. What is even stranger is that server-side binding works as expected with the same data binding code. Let’s demystify this problem: The problem You will see the following if you use FireBug or Fiddler to inspect the response: The error message is “A circular reference was detected while serializing an object of type” followed by some type. If you google this up you will find out that this exception is thrown by the JavaScriptSerializer class because of circular references detected. “What the heck is a...
Last week Telerik released the Data
Service Wizard Beta 1. It will automatically create for you the end points for
an Astoria, WCF, or RESTful service. New in the beta of the Data Service Wizard is
the ability of the wizard to automatically generate the DataServiceKey attribute
required to make relationships in Astoria work.
When you use "Astoria"
(ADO.NET||WCF) Data Services, by default Astoria tries to map the primary keys
in your entities using a convention. This is important for your service to work. The
mapping works out of the box for the Entity Framework, however, if you are using LINQ
to SQL or Telerik Open Access,
it does not since some...
A client has recently asked for these little fancy math toolbars in the column header. I found it a great idea and thought it might be useful to share the way of implementing this with RadGridView for Silverlight. *Since RadGridView for WPF shares the same code base the approach bellow may be used for both platforms ( Silverlight and WPF ) . Things are easy with RadGridView ! To have this in your project follow these three easy steps : 1. Copy the MathToolBar user control from the attached sample project (MathToolBar.xaml, MathToolBar.cs). MathToolbarDemo.zip 2. Replace the default header in the column with the user control. <telerik:GridViewDataColumn ...
<telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header> <local:MathToolBar HeaderText="Value1"/> </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header> </telerik:GridViewDataColumn> 3. Adjust...
