Expression Blend for WinForms? We are almost there!
As Q1 2010 is approaching we thought it would be a good idea to tell you where we are currently with our new Visual Style Builder (VSB) for Windows Forms. After several months of hard work we are almost done with an application, which may be easily described as Expression Blend, but for Windows Forms. The most important aspect of the new VSB is that it will decrease the amount of time needed to create or tweak themes from days to hours, and even minutes! We have considerably simplified the work flow to allow you to focus on more important things,... -

Programmatic export to PDF from Silverlight application
Ever wanted to export a Telerik report from a Silverlight application? This is easily accomplished by instantiating the ReportServiceClient class, which plays the role of proxy to the Telerik Report Service. To specify that you want to render the report we use the RenderAsync method of the ReportServiceClient, which invokes the respective method on the server (remember that it serves as proxy) that would return the rendered report. Since we’ve used an asynchronous method and we do not know when the render would finish, we need to handle the RenderCompleted event. In the RenderCompleted event we get the result from the rendering and decide what to... -

Rating column for RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX
Here is yet another handy column type coming for RadGrid. The GridRatingColumn will show a RadRating control for every data item in your RadGrid, both in view and edit mode. GridRatingColumn will support 2 modes of interaction. In the standard mode, GridRatingColumn will behave like an ordinary editable column. It will display a read-only RadRating control when the item is in view mode and an editable RadRating control when in edit mode. Alternatively, the rating column will allow you to change the rating value even in view mode. Thus, when RadGrid posts back, you can get the updated value on the server... -

One more RadGridView behavior frequently requested by our clients is to display a message when there are no records to display. A typical real life scenario would be a RadGridView displaying a list of search results. When there are no results found we would like to have a message like “No results found!” displayed in RadGridView. UPDATED VERSION FOR SL4 If you download the project above , you will see that if you get the EmptyDataTemplateBehavior.cs into your project, setting the empty data template will be as easy as writing a few lines of XAML : <telerik:RadGridView x:Name="RadGridView1" > <i:Interaction.Behaviors> <local:EmptyDataTemplateBehavior> <local:EmptyDataTemplateBehavior.EmptyDataTemplate> <DataTemplate> <TextBlock Text="No results...February 01, 2010 1 min readProductivity TestingUsing WebAii to run JsUnit tests in TFS continuous integration builds
Inspired by the automation of functional tests with WebAii, I decided to bring our JsUnit tests on the same level as the NUnit ones – in the continuous integration build. As it turns out, automation with the WebAii framework was really easy – just a few lines were sufficient to integrate the test runner. Requirements The build agent should have the following: Cassini.dll in the GAC installed WebAii framework (adds browser plug-ins to IE and Firefox which make their automation possible) the build service should run on an interactive port, under the user that performs the build ...ReleaseJustCode. Retrospective of the last 2+ months.
Here's a short list of what we've managed to achieve during the last 2+ months since we released JustCode in November: We’ve fixed a lot of C# / VB.NET and JavaScript "Good Code Red" issues. "Good Code Red" issues occur when errors are reported by JustCode for code that actually compiles fine. We treat these types of issues with a very high priority as it's very annoying when errors and warnings are reported throughout the solution for code that works perfectly fine. If you still experience such problems, please report them to us and we'll fix them for the RC. You...Web ASP.NET AJAXEmbedding YouTube video in RadListView for ASP.NET AJAX
Have you ever thought of embedding a YouTube video in the context of a data-bound control? Recently, a client of ours asked for such a demo and this inspired me to create a code-library project that features this scenario and uses RadListView for ASP.NET AJAX as ‘videos host’. Depending on your goal, you can control the player via JavaScript code or you can just embed a static object. In the latter case you will need something like this: 1: <object width="425" height="344"> 2: <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QT0e5XqNZdo&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"></param> ...
