Built-in filtering support for RadListView ASP.NET AJAX
Beside of all the other new neat features the RadListView for ASP.NET AJAX will have with the Q1 2010 release, it will also incorporate built-in filtering capabilities. The control will expose a fluent-like server-side API which can be used to specify filter expression in the following manner: listView.FilterExpressions.BuildExpression() .GreaterThanOrEqualTo("OrderDate", DateTime.Parse("7/5/1996")) .And() .Group(group => group.EqualTo("ShipCountry", "Germany") .Or().EqualTo("ShipCountry", "France") ... -

Hey everybody - Emily from Telerik here! I am Telerik’s Community Program Manager; AKA your go-to geekette for give-a-ways and sponsorships in your community.

RadComboBox for ASP.NET AJAX Q1 Beta: Automatic server-side Load On Demand
If you have been using RadComboBox frequently in your projects, you have probably written the following or very similar code many times: protected void RadComboBox1_ItemsRequested(object sender, RadComboBoxItemsRequestedEventArgs e) { SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter( "SELECT * from Customers WHERE CompanyName LIKE @text + '%'", ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["NorthwindConnectionString"] .ConnectionString); adapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@text", e.Text); DataTable data = new DataTable(); adapter.Fill(data); int itemOffset = e.NumberOfItems; int endOffset = Math.Min(itemOffset + ItemsPerRequest, data.Rows.Count); e.EndOfItems = endOffset ==... -

Why do teams succeed?
The story of human achievement is almost always one of teamwork. While we celebrate individual accomplishments, like Neil Armstrong stepping foot on the moon, it is always the team that makes or breaks the effort. I have always been interested in why teams succeed; it is easy to figure out why teams fail. A lot of time we think that we need a team of “Ninjas” in order to succeed, or a superstar team leader. In reality we need neither the Ninja team nor rock star team leader. For better or worse, I have been leading teams for a long time and I maybe a decent... -

Telerik RadControls for Silverlight - the concept of performance with facts and examples
We have been asked many times about the performance of our RadControls for Silverlight. We completely understand that “performance” is a key evaluation factor that makes users decide whether to go with a certain product or not. We also know that it is not only the fast performance that turns you, it is also a combination of several key factors, like Feature-set, Slick UI, Better User Experience, Rich API, etc. We have always tried to deliver all these in the best way so that as a result our controls keep on performing extremely fast and at the same time... -

Q1 release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX will require .NET 3.5 Service Pack 1
Starting with the Q1 2010 release we’ll be building against .NET 3.5 SP1. This is a new requirement and older releases are still compatible with .NET 3.5 RTM. There is no change in the requirements for the .NET 2.0 builds. Generally speaking, there is no reason why you shouldn’t install .NET 3.5 SP1 on your servers and workstations since this is the current official version of the framework. The reason for this requirement is that we’ll start shipping official .NET 4.0 builds of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX when VS 2010/.NET 4 RTM comes out. The service pack is a prerequisite for using the 4.0... -

Building Real Applications with Telerik MVC & OpenAccess – Building the Model
Using OpenAccess Forward Mapping really allows you to focus on building a strong model, rather than getting caught up in the persistence details, and this can expedite development time dramatically. Every developer I know could use a little more time to focus on more important things :) Before we can use the OpenAccess Forward Mapping Wizard, we need to create a model for our application. After we have a solid model, we can run the wizard, and it will create the database for us! Awesome! Getting Started The first thing that I do is create an abstract base class that all business...May 27, 2021 4 min read -

Understanding the Telerik Reporting WCF Service
After working a bit with the Silverlight Report Viewer for Telerik Reporting, it seemed only natural to write a quick post to explain how exactly the Reporting WCF Service (located here in the help file) works and how to quickly and easily get started with it. To start with, why do we need a WCF service for Telerik Reporting? The answer is that we added a Silverlight Report viewer not too long ago, and in order to get information to a Silverlight client application you need to either use a javascript bridge through the webpage hosting the XAP, which is a slightly clunky... -

Items Drag and Drop for RadListView for ASP.NET AJAX
With the 2010.Q1 release, RadListView for ASP.NET AJAX is getting a fancy new client capability. You will be able to drag list view items around and drop them on other HTML elements, similar to RadGrid's row drag & drop functionality. Setting up RadListView to enable items drag & drop will be a piece of cake. Besides the usual AllowSomeFunctionality-type of property, all you will need to do will be: Use a CSS marker on an HTML element in the ItemTemplate / AlternatingItemTemplate to mark the bounds of a list view item. The content inside your HTML container marked by this CSS...
