It was fun walking around with the JustCode tee shirt on all day and duck tape over the CODE part. If you are at the PDC swing by the Microsoft SQL Server booth and take a look at two of our exciting new projects. Microsoft is highlighting both our OpenAccess Data Services Wizard and our LINQ to M implementation. See you at the Telerik booth, my sessions, or a party. :) Technorati Tags: PDC,JustCodeNovember 18, 2009

ReleaseNew Demo Web Site for Telerik OpenAccess ORM
One of the most demanding tasks we always had at the Telerik OpenAccess ORM team, is to demonstrate to our customers and the whole ORM community the capabilities that our product possess. They say a demo is worth 1000 words. I can’t agree more with that. In the case of our product though I would like to add: a video is worth at least for 10 demos. That is the reason why we built a brand new video-oriented web site where we have carefully described each of the most important features (and their count is growing) and all the effort necessary for...November 18, 2009ProductivityCode. Just Code. JustCode.
It's my pleasure to announce the youngest member of the Telerik product family - JustCode, a code analysis and refactoring tool. Actually "youngest" is not the most correct word to use because JustCode was born more than 5 years ago but "adopted" by Telerik in March, this year. In March Telerik acquired the JustCode product from the German-based company, Omnicore, and the founders of the company (and also the creators of the product) joined Telerik to help us take the tool to the next level. A few words about the founders of Omnicore; these are brilliant guys with lots of expertise in...by Hristo KosevNovember 18, 2009ReleaseIntroducing RadMap for Silverlight
Q3 2009 was an exciting release for the Data Visualization Team here at Telerik. My colleague Vladimir already highlighted the most notable new features and improvements to our charting solution and now I would like to draw your attention to one of our newest additions to the control suite – RadMap for Silverlight. Here are the main highlights: Map Sources support – RadMap for Silverlight allows you to visualize rich geographical information from external geo imagery sources. VEMapProvider (Bing Maps) EmptyProvider – the Map control also supports empty provider that is not connected to any real imagery service;...by Manol DonevNovember 17, 2009Web ASP.NET AJAXIntroduction to RadRating
One of the new controls we added to the Q3 2009 RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX suite is RadRating. Even though this is the first release of the rating control, we made sure that it is packed full of excellent features and it has the same quality you have come to expect from the Telerik ASP.NET suite - cool skins, wide cross browser support, automated tests, and more. You can see all of the control's features on its overview page, but I will list some of the major ones here as well: whole item/half item/exact precision; four possible orientations; customizable number of...November 17, 2009

Desktop WPFA brand new Timeline view for Teleriks Scheduler control for Silverlight/WPF
Along with other main features like standard resources and resource grouping, the Q3 2009 release brought an additional view to the present ones (Day, Week and Month) – Timeline. Briefly said, it displays a certain number of consecutive time slots and like all other views, the Timeline view is configurable in almost the same way. Here is how it looks like by default: … where each time slot is 1 day long (i.e. TimeSlotLength of the TimelineViewDefinition is equal to one day) and the date in each header is displayed in a “d-M-yyyy” format. Let’s tweak a bit some of the settings related...November 17, 2009

ProductivityUsing Connection Strings with Telerik OpenAccess ORM
As you might already found out, with the 2009 Q3 release of Telerik OpenAccess ORM we made the first step of providing an easier and more natural way of defining database connection settings for your applications. In other words, OpenAccess now supports standard ADO.NET connection strings. The aim of this post is to brief you how to use them with the product. To use Telerik OpenAccess ORM in a Visual Studio project, you should run the Enable project wizard first. A detailed article on how to use the wizard can be found in our documentation. Let’s just see what is new in this release....November 17, 2009PeopleTelerik ASP.NET MVC Extensions Survey

Productivity TestingWebAii v2.0: Let Your Tests Share the Same Browser Instance
One of the features I really enjoy in WebAii v2.0 is the RecycleBrowser option. It changes the behavior of your tests, i.e. they keep running in the same browser instance (when set to ‘true’) instead of opening a new browser for each test. The default value is ‘false’ for consistency with the previous framework versions behavior. You can programmatically update that setting via the Settings class or using the Application’s config file. However, there are some details you should have in mind when using that option. We do use the RecycleBrowser option in the WebAii Testing Framework Sample Tests ...November 13, 2009
