    Testing Could Be Elegant

    Mr. David Burns recently raised a pretty good question – is testing elegant? He lists a couple of examples how testing is far from elegant. The simple scenario he mentioned in relation to test automation brought my full attention – imagine a change in an element being used in many tests (could be a simple ID change, or any attribute modification for example). In such a case you may end up with a lot of failing tests and well, you should be extra careful even if any “global replace” is an option with your framework/tool. In this post I’d like ...

    Custom Filtering with RadGridView for Silverlight

    As you may already know, RadGridView received a "filtering" boost with our latest release. As a developer, you are no longer stuck with the default filtering user interface. With the introduction of the Custom Filtering Controls feature, you can easily craft the filtering control of your dreams. In this blog post I will try to explain what are the steps needed to achieve this by creating a fully-functional custom control. Although the control is tailored to a specific scenario, it can be used as a reference implementation for developing any kind of custom control. Finally, I would strongly suggest having the source...

    First Look at RadBook for Silverlight

    I am glad to announce the addition of one more control to our Silverlight suite. The control is called RadBook and it is a page-flip type of control that allows browsing through a set of items as if flipping the pages of a book. RadBook inherits System.Windows.Controls.ItemsControl, which allows you to turn any type of content into a RadBook's page. The main features of RadBook are: Ability to template every page by using LeftPageTemplate, RightPageTemplate, LeftPageTemplateSelector and RightPageTemplateSelector. Ability to change the way a page is flipped i.e. flip a page on a single click, double click or simply forbid page flipping. Ability to define...

    Customize the appointments in every resource group in Telerik Scheduler for Silverlight

    We have recently introduced a new feature  in RadScheduler for Silverlight/WPF -  Resource Grouping. Now I will tell you more about how to customize the look and feel of the appointments in every resource group including the header of this group.

    New 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...
