RadScheduler for Silverlight learning series, part 4: So what is RecurrenceExceptionHelper?
For those of you following this series, I'm going to take a slight detour to explain one of the little bits of magic that we have been using to make loading and saving appointments very easy: RecurrenceExceptionHelper. If you downloaded the sample application from part 3, you'll see this sitting in the Silverlight-RIA-Entity folder (aka the Silverlight portion of the solution). The first thing you might be asking is where the need for such a class comes from. Well, handling Recurrence rules and Exceptions are two of the more complex things that you can do when working with appointments. When...September 10, 2009

Changing the position of the report progress indicator
By design the progress indicator of the web report viewer is centered in the viewable area. However in some cases you might want to change its position (e.g. ReportViewer longer than a viewable page). To achieve that we would get the progress area through a few lines of javascript and change its position according to our needs: <script type="text/javascript"> var viewer = <%=ReportViewer1.ClientID%>; var waitDiv = document.getElementById("ReportViewer1_ReportArea_WaitControl"); var tcell = waitDiv.getElementsByTagName("TD")[0]; tcell.style.verticalAlign = "top"; tcell.style.textAlign = "left"; </script> A sample project showing this functionality is available in this code library article. For those of you who would also like to change the viewer's skin and progress indicator itself, please review Applying custom skin to the web report viewer code library. Hope this helps!

WebRadScheduler for Silverlight learning series, part 3: Add, Edit, and Delete Appointments
If you've been along for the ride so far with this series, you already know that we've hooked a SQL database up to RIA Services using an ADO.Net Entity Data Model and a DomainDataService data context. If you've missed it, check out the prior two posts (or search RadScheduler for Silverlight learning series in the Telerik Blogs site). Now that we're here, we have three more events to handle and we've got a fully-functional RadScheduler for Silverlight hooked up to RIA services. First up, the two easy events- AppointmentAdded and AppointmentDeleted. AppointmentAdded Event This event is pretty straightforward and does not require very...September 08, 2009

WebSilverlight: RadChart for Export to Image
Good news everyone! Exporting Silverlight charts to images has been a common request for our Silverlight chart. I’m glad to announce that the functionality is already done and checked in our development branch. This means that everything is on track for the Q3 2009 release (and maybe a beta release before that!). But why not for Q2? Well, there are a couple of reasons. Q2 release was still Silverlight 2 based and there were technological difficulties that didn’t allow us to implement this feature. Firstly, Silverlight 2 didn’t have the writeable bitmap class which facilitates rasterizing the chart rendering and secondly...September 08, 2009ProductivityUsing The WCF REST Starter Kit and ATOMPub with Telerik OpenAccess and the WCF Wizard

You can use RSS or ATOM to syndicate your content and allow readers to subscribe to your content. It is what powers Twitter, Facebook, as well as CNN and the New York Times. ATOM is a popular alternative to RSS. Just about every blog and “RSS” reader will support ATOM. When you are talking about ATOM, you actually are talking about two things: Atom Syndication Format, an XML language for feed definitions, and the Atom Publishing Protocol, a very simple HTTP protocol for creating and updating feed based content. The WCF REST Starter Kit allows you to create services that will produce...September 08, 2009

WebDrop-Down Menu Button with Telerik ContextMenu for Silverlight
Sometimes, when a button is clicked we want to display a drop-down menu with options. This is handy interface, usually present in toolbars, but sometimes - as standalone buttons, like the Save As button in the the VS2008 Save As dialog. Sometimes the drop-down buttons consist of two parts – action and menu, and are called split buttons. In this post I will demonstrate how to achieve the drop-down menu button part. If you need a split button, just add another button and keep track of what was the last clicked menu item. Note, that with Q3 2009 we will...September 08, 2009ProductivityTelerik OpenAccess WCF Wizard: How-to Video #3- REST Collections
