Telerik CAB Enabling Kit for RadControls for WinForms moving to CodePlex
Being one of the first vendors to provide support for the CAB and the SCSF, Telerik is strongly committed to provide seamless and easy integration with the CAB infrastructure. We provide new releases of the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit for RadControls for WinForms (TCEK) with each Telerik release, and recently Robert Shoemate, our WinForms Developer Evangelist, posted several blogs on the features that we support. The interest in extending the TCEK has been so great that we decided to provide TCEK to the community as an open source project on CodePlex. We believe this will give you an incentive to provide updates...September 15, 2009 -

WebAPI changes introduced by the new CoverFlow control
If you missed the buzz, the Telerik team plans to distribute a beta release introducing new controls that will be officially included in the Q3 2009 release scheduled for November 2009. For those of you that didn’t have the opportunity to get familiar with what the new CoverFlow offers, take a look at my previous blog post here. One of the new pieces that will be part of the pack is the new CoverFlow control. It is important to note that from Q3 2009 all previous versions of the control will be replaced with this one, which is specifically built for...September 14, 2009ReleaseDo you manage your software development through TFS? Telerik just released couple of free TFS tools for you
Shortly after the massive excitement Telerik’s Extensions for ASP.NET MVC created, the guys at Telerik are happy to share couple of new free tools with the developer community! Inspired by agile development best practices, TFS Work Item Manager and TFS Project Dashboard have also been extensively used internally at Telerik for over six months with great results. TFS Work Item Manager simplifies the process of organizing TFS work items – you can now access and alter all your tasks in a visually appealing and user-friendly way. Some of its highlights include Work Item grid filtering, grouping and aggregation; querying; iteration schedules; and a...September 14, 2009ProductivityGain more control over your ATOMPub feeds with the Telerik OpenAccess WCF Wizard

Based on the feedback we have gotten from the community on the ATOMPub projects, Telerik has refreshed the WCF Wizard (go download it now) to enhance the ATOMPub projects. Let’s take a step back first. The Atom Syndication Format is for feeds, similar to RSS. So when you run the project that we looked at in my blog last week in default IE 8 (or IE 7) feed view, it would look something like this. This is no different from what my...September 14, 2009

ProductivityCustomizing the behavior of persistent collections
As most of you may already know, Telerik OpenAccessORM uses the TrackedList<T> to manage the collection fields of its persistent classes. The objects that belong to such collection are in a 1-n relation with the parent object that ‘owns’ the collection. Before getting to the point of this post, let me put few words about the behavior of the TrackedList<T>. When a new object is added to a TrackedList<T>(ex: order.OrderDetails.Add(someDetail) ),Telerik OpenAccess ORM persists that object to the database. The new object has a reference to the owner of the collection to which it was added. When one removes an object from...September 11, 2009ProductivityThe Telerik CAB Enabling Kit and SCSF – Tutorial 1: Creating the Initial Project
The Microsoft Composite UI Application Block (CAB) is a framework used for creating Model-View-Presenter style windows forms applications. The Smart Client Software Factory (SCSF) streamlines the process of creating these applications by providing us with a powerful base project and a set of menu options for quickly generating modules, views, and events in Visual Studio. Unfortunately, CAB only provides direct support for the common windows components included with Visual Studio. It is possible to develop your own support for third party components, but this can be a confusing and time consuming process. Lucky for us, Telerik noticed that there was ...September 11, 2009Desktop WPFMultiple Resources, Resource Grouping and TimeLineView in Telerik Scheduler for SL/WPF

Oh, what could it be?
Well... I like paraphrasing and what has happened before will invariably happen again :) The original phrase is of course Sumner Redstone's "Content is king". But why change it to "Code is king"? Only because this is the content, we, the developers create? Or is it because code is important and we should put more stress on it as developers? Both reasons are valid, but I will focus on the importance of code quality. There are a myriad of articles, blog posts, books, etc. about what defines “good code,” so I cannot add much to this topic. In a few words, I can just say that...by Hristo KosevSeptember 10, 2009
