    Telerik Reporting Contest - Deadline Extended

    Let’s face it: we did not get the response rate we expected for the Reporting case-study contest. Naturally, we were starting to wonder why, since Telerik Reporting is used by thousands of developers world-wide, and we have contacted them all regarding this contest. So the reason must be somewhere else. And just when we started scratching our heads, the reason presented itself before us. As with all things unexplainable, it was quite simple. It turned out that time was not enough. As the deadline for submission got closer we started receiving numerous requests from clients for extending the deadline so...

    Applying Themes at Runtime with the RadControls for WinForms

    When using applications, people generally enjoy personalizing their experience to some degree. Allowing your applications users to choose from a set of pre-defined custom themes is one way to accomplish this. Achieving this functionality is actually quite easy through the use of RadControls for WinForms. Today I am going to show you how. Please note that I am using the Q1 2010 beta of the RadControls for WinForms in this blog entry. Telerik Themes The default installation of RadControls for WinForms includes several pre-defined themes that you can use in your application. To begin using them, you simply need ...

    Styling Basics with Visual Style Builder for WinForms

    With the Q1 2010 Release of the RadControls for WinForms, we are bringing you a powerful new version of Visual Style Builder (VSB). This new version of VSB makes building themes a breeze with its new Theme Repositories feature. Today I thought I would spend some time going over the basics of VSB and its new system of Theme Repositories. Theme Repositories In previous versions of VSB, it was only possible to change theme properties on a per-element basis. This means that when building a theme, you actually had to select each individual element of every single control and ...

    WinForms RadGridView vNext will feature new hierarchy modes and performance improvements!

    During the past year, we received many suggestions for new features and bug fixes for RadGridView for WinForms. After analyzing them we realized that we should do a major refactoring of both the data layer and the UI of our grid control. Then we set an ambitious goal -- to refactor the control and implement the most wanted features. This is obviously a massive task and the new grid control will not be part of Q1, but it is coming up afterwards as beta, and will be officially available for Q2 2010. This will give us enough time to test all...

    Improvements in the visual appearance of RadSlider for ASP.NET AJAX

    The RadSlider is getting a subtle, but still important update for its visual appearance in the Q1 2010 release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. We made the appearance of all skins be consistent so you can have more choice when it comes to picking the right one for your application. Here is the comparison between the old an new look: The first difference is that we have added a border at both ends of the slider track. The border is not part of the track itself. The second difference is that all slider arrows now have a background and look...

    New Timeline View in RadScheduler for WinForms

    As Q1 2010 is approaching, we thought it would be a good idea to tell you a few words about the new features in RadScheduler for WinForms. RadScheduler for WinForms will include a brand new Timeline View  , designed to display continuous schedule for one or multiple resources. Time-slot duration, time-slot cells count, visible resources count and view’s duration will be fully customizable. For example you can set the time-slot duration to any value from 15 minutes to 1 year and restrict your scheduler view from 01/01/2009 to 01/01/2011.  The screenshot below shows a timeline view grouped by...

    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...
