Telerik OpenAccess SP1 Available
Telerik has released Service Pack 1 of OpenAccess ORM, available now for download. There are a lot of new features (and of course bug fixes) but the three most important are: The new LINQ implementation works fully with Visual Studio 2010 The Data Services Wizard is now fully integrated with the product, no separate install A beta of RIA Services support I will be doing a blog post on each of these in the coming weeks (expect some delays with TechEd US in the way.) One more thing to mention is that the Data Services Wizard now generates a Silverlight client and will give you the ability to automatically style... -

How To: Column chooser for RadGridView for Silverlight and WPF
I’ve made small demo on how to create column chooser for any RadGridView in few very simple steps: 1. Add new ChildWindow: 2. Define following XAML for the child window: <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Margin="2"> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="Auto" /> <RowDefinition /> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <TextBlock Text="Available columns:" /> <ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Columns}" Grid.Row="1"> <ListBox.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> ... -
Web ASP.NET AJAX
Scroll And Slider ToolTip Extenders for RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX
ASP.NET Extender Controls are cool. They allow you to add rich client capabilities to other server controls. The ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit is a wonderful example of unleashing the power of extenders to give regular ASP.NET server controls rich client capabilities. We tried this approach to further enrich RadGrid's otherwise quite solid set of client functionalities. The result is even richer. The sample project attached contains 2 custom extender controls that can be used with RadGrid. The two are similar in purpose, but different in usage. GridSliderToolTipExtender The GridSliderToolTipExtender is used with RadGrid's Slider pager. It provides you with a handy tooltip that is dynamically loaded over the RadSlider when you slide... -

Is your test method self-validating ?
Writing state of art unit tests that can validate your every part of the framework is challenging and interesting at the same time; it's like becoming a samurai. One of the key concept in this is to keep our test synced all the time as underlying code changes and thus breaking them to the furthest unit as possible.May 23, 2010 2 min read -

Strongly-typed property changed notification in Task-It
Task-It Series This post is part of a series of blog posts and videos about the Task-It (task management) application that I have been building with Silverlight 4 and Telerik's RadControls for Silverlight 4. For a full index of these resources, please go here. One of the posts listed in the index provides a full source download for the application, and I will be referring to that source code in this post. More about MVVM I recently received a comment on one of my blog posts about how the reader liked the strongly-typed property changed notification technique that I have in my Task-It, and it occurred to me that...May 21, 2010 5 min read -

Enable RadGridView’s rows reorder functionality using Behaviors
Using RadControls can boost the development process, using bunch of built-in features. However, sometimes we encountered scenarios where we need something very specific. In addition, we do want to make our custom logic encapsulated and easy reusable. So,when this is the case,using behaviors is our best choice. In this blog I will show small example how to use the behavior power to enable row reorder functionality. In order to enable drag and drop functionality, it simply uses our RadDragAndDropManager, giving us simple solution for the drag/drop functionality. So in order to use it and customize it we can even go the... -

Displaying live streaming data with RadGridView for Silverlight and WPF
Animated cells on value changes When dealing with streaming data which is updated over time the end user should be able to quickly track changes at a glance. A typical application that would benefit from this would be a financial dashboard, live data monitoring and tracking systems etc. For the purpose of illustration I have prepared a small simulation of streaming financial data (stock prices) . In my previous blogpost I have already demonstrated how we can alter/extend the behavior of cells in RadGridView by placing a user control inside. This blog post demonstrates a more real-life and business oriented scenario. All...May 20, 2010 1 min read -

Benefits from Telerik and Visual Studio Online Gallery in VS2010
With the VSIX deployment in Visual Studio 2010 the world become a better place for developers – we are now able to add small tools to our IDEs and customize them the way we want with just a few megs of download from the Online Gallery. If we don’t use the tool for some time and we don’t want it to eat some of our PC resources we can just disable it through the Extension Manager. If we don’t like a tool we can simply remove it. The VSIX deployment guarantees that a tool is uninstallable, as the deployment is... -

Silverlight ChildWindow and Popup Support in WebUI Test Studio and WebAii Testing Framework
The 2010 Q1 Service Pack adds an important solution to a common problem in automating Silverlight applications – ChildWindow and Popups automation support. The Problem Automating popups has always been a challenge for the UI automation tools. In Silverlight it’s even more complicated because the popup controls are not part of the SL Visual Tree. WebUI Test Studio could not access those elements in the visual tree and we couldn’t automate them. The Solution With the 2010 Q1 SP release we add a new assembly (Telerik.WebUI.PopupTracker available in the installation Bin folder) to serve as popup tracker. Those who ...May 19, 2010 4 min read
