How to add a scrollbar to Telerik RadMenu for Silverlight
As we received a lot of questions on how to add a ScrollViewer to the RadMenu control for Silverlight, in this blog post I am going to explain how you can achieve this. Adding a ScrollViewer to RadMenu for Silverlight can be easily accomplished using Expression Blend. Step 1. Create a new Silverlight 3 Application. Step 2. Add references to Telerik.Windows.Controls.dll and Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation.dll in your project. Step 3. Drag RadMenu and RadMenuItem controls from the Toolbox and drop them on the design surface. Step 4. Right-click on one of the RadMenuItems and select EditStyle or select it and from the menu by choosing Object -> Edit Style ->... -

WCF RIA Services + RadControls for Silverlight Q3 SP1
For anyone who has been paying attention, Microsoft has announced a fair number of changes and new things for us to play with over the past few weeks, suspiciously all surrounding the PDC conference in LA. One of the biggest announcements was the Silverlight 4 beta, which I know we're all anxiously playing with, but the other was the (much needed) overhaul to .Net RIA Services, which has been re-branded as WCF Ria Services. So what's in a new name? Well a host of improvements, but our friend Brad Abrams covered that more than well in his Welcome to WCF RIA Services... -

Telerik OpenAccess Data Services Wizard Product Roadmap
This week we released our third “alpha” CTP build of our Telerik OpenAccess Data Services Wizard on Telerik Labs. We have received tons of feedback on the tool and look forward to more feedback. The wizard’s development team and the entire OpenAccess team have come up with a roadmap and would like some feedback from the community on it. In the spirit of a transparent design, I am going to publish the entire roadmap here for community review. Of course all of this can change blah blah blah. (The lawyers made me say that.) Beta 1: January 2010 Using T4 Code generation instead of text templates VB.NET code generation (we had a... -

RadFormDecorator – New Styling Options for WebKit Browsers
I am happy to announce that with Q3.2009 SP1 we have added a new important styling option for the scrollbars of textboxes and overflown <div /> elements for Apple Safari and Google Chrome: If you are running a custom skin and would like to use the new functionality, here are a few easy steps to upgrade: 1. Make sure that you are using Q3.2009 SP1 (2009.3.1208.35). 2. Open [RadControlsInstallationRoot]/Skins/FormDecorator.css – the base stylesheet of RadFormDecorator and go to line (Ctrl + G) 612, i.e. where the "ScrollBar CSS Settings for WebKit" code comment is. 3. Copy the CSS rules from line 612 to the... -

MSDN Northeast Roadshow - November 8th, 2009
Yesterday myself and Carl from the Boston area office attended the MSDN Northeast Roadshow stop in Waltham, MA for a good day of geeky goodness. Chris Bowen and Jim O'Neil from Microsoft were again on point with informative (and fun!) presentations on the following topics: Something WCF This Way Comes RIA Window: Expression, Silverlight, and MVVM LINQ De-crypted Tales from the Webside- ASP.Net Webforms, Ajax, and more The sessions were action packed (watch out for flying RoadBlocks!) with tons of good info. While they all rocked, my personal favorite were the looks into WCF and RIA development talks. The WCF talk covered a walk through why you'd move to... -

You've probably already heard about the CDN support of RadScriptManager and RadStyleSheetManager (part of the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX suite). Removing the need to manually edit the web.config file, the Project Management Wizard (started through the Telerik -> RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX > Convert to Telerik Project/Configure WebSite menu) now allows you to define if you want to enable or disable CDN support for each of the controls globally (website wide). In a manner, similar to the global skin, CDN support can be enabled/disabled at control level, overriding the global setting in the web.config file. All you need is use the CDNSettings property...Web ASP.NET AJAXCDN Support – RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX

It’s been a while since the Q3 2009 release. Lots of controls have been added in our toolbox for WPF. One of them is considered as a final official release of RadDocking control for WPF. We have made a lot of improvements since the last release of the controls. For example each of the six themes included in the bundle now has different type of appearance when applied to a control. RadDocking is a fully customizable and skinnable control that enhances the power of a layout system. It is providing you with a docking system like the one in Microsoft Visual Studio. You are getting the dockable ToolWindows, a hidden DockingManager control, and a designer to easily create attractive layouts. It is good to mention that the WPF RadDocking code is absolutely compatible with its Silverlight counterpart.
