Silverlight: 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... -

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... -

Drop-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...May 27, 2021 3 min read -

Telerik OpenAccess ORM maintains several cache levels that can be used in various application scenarios. While the L1 cache is specific for each object scope, the L2 cache works on higher level as it is common to all object scopes in an application. But what if we want to have the cache working even on higher level – to be shared between many applications? The feature that has to be used in such scenarios is the L2 Cache Cluster. It provides the ability to synchronize the L2 caches of many applications that operate on the same database. To achieve this, each modifying transaction...WebRadScheduler for Silverlight learning series, part 2: Loading Data Into RadScheduler from RIA Services
After reading the first part of this series, you should now have a project that is ready to wire up with events. In summary, last time we: Created a new project with RIA services enabled Created a database to hold appointments Threw that database into an ADO.Net Entity Data Model Used aforementioned entity model in a new Domain Service Class Added a RadScheduler and DomainDataSource to our Silverlight app Now, we get to the fun part and can start wiring up some of the events we set in the last post. The first thing that we need to do is to...ProductivityUsing The WCF REST Starter Kit and REST Collections with Telerik OpenAccess and the WCF Wizard
Developers have been using the REST specification for some time. If you are using Microsoft tools, ADO.NET Data Services aka Astoria is a very popular way to work with REST data. What you may not know is that Astoria works on top of WCF and you can write your own REST services outside of the Astoria model using WCF. WCF 3.5 SP1 gives us quite a few hooks to build our own RESTful services, however, it still takes a lot of manual wiring up by the developer. By now you all should know that I hate plumbing code. Microsoft introduced the WCF REST Starter Kit, a set of WCF extensions...ProductivityUsing Oslo to Speed Up Database Development

The paper is titled: “Using Oslo to Speed Up Database Development” and shows how you can use the new M language to model databases, browse that model in Quadrant, and tap into the power of the Oslo Repository. The paper shows how the model you make is mapped to TSQL and to SQL Server objects, including Tables and Views. It is pretty cool to see the following M type and its M values and how they will map to a TSQL script to create a People table and INSERT INTO statements for...
