    Who says automated functional tests cannot be a part of a Continuous Integration system? Or do you miss the proper tools? A Telerik customer, Sebastian Klapp, submitted a Code Library project about a sample CI system that runs WebAii Testing Framework Silverlight tests.

    LINQ tip of the week: Upcoming System.Math support

    Continuing with the LINQ tips, today we provide a list of System.Math methods that we are going to support with the upcoming Q3 release.

    Horizontal Table for your reports

    Recent question that popped up from an user was how to create a table, where the table grows horizontally instead of vertically. This is easy as one, two, three when using our Table report item. I start off using the crosstab item as initial template for this task. As the table would be growing "in columns" instead of "in rows", we do not need a row group so we delete it. Then bind the crosstab to a sample business object making sure we've added as many static rows as we need. Next step in order to show all the data, we need to make sure that...
