Using the RadFileExplorer for ASP.NET AJAX in a MOSS web application
The RadFileExplorer is a fairly new control in our ASP.NET AJAX suite and we are happy to see that a lot of people are already adopting it into their solutions. In this post I will show how to make the file explorer work with SharePoint libraries. By default, the control interfaces with a virtual folder in your web application and allows you to do all kinds of file/folder operations (create new folders, upload/move/delete items, preview, etc.). Unfortunately, the default behavior of the control is limited to virtual folders that can be mapped to physical locations on the server's drives. MOSS web... -

LINQ 101 Examples with Telerik OpenAccess ORM
We all know that today LINQ is the most popular and easy way for processing data in the .NET community. In fact you can use almost all data sources you might think of: plain objects, XML or relational databases. While we have been offering an extensive LINQ support for months now, and we are continuously improving it, I don’t think it received the credit it deserves. So we decided to foster the awareness of our community towards the great LINQ support we provide with the Telerik OpenAccess ORM tool. Ok, easier said than done. What approach should we take with this one? A... -

Binding a ComboBox to Enum Values with RadControls for Silverlight
A common request in our support is to display a combo box, containing all values of a specific Enum. This is fairly easy with RadComboBox for Silverlight - all you need to do is to fill its ItemsSource collection with the Enum values. The best way to do this is to create a view model for the Enum: using System; using System.Collections; using System.Linq; using System.Reflection; namespace SilverlightApplication1 { public class EnumModel { private Type enumType; public IEnumerable Values { get; private set; } [TypeConverter(typeof(TypeTypeConverter))] ...May 27, 2021 3 min read -

RadDock for Winforms Q2 2009 Beta has landed!
UPDATE: A hands-on demo added at the end of this post! No installation necessary. We are happy to announce the release of the long waited Beta version of our new RadDock control. We have been overwhelmed with work for the last few weeks, but we are more than thrilled by the result. We managed to add an abundance of new features compared to the old DockingManger control, in addition to covering most of the functionality that existed in the previous DockingManager. For starters, RadDock has much simpler object model and better API. The object structure mirrors the control tree that... -

Codeless Data binding in RadScheduler for WinForms Q2 2009
I am happy to share that RadScheduler for WinForms gets some cool new improvements for Q2 2009. Our Roadmap does not reveal much, but here is a quick preview of what we have been working on. When we started developing the Telerik WinForms scheduler we knew that we could make the data binding process much simpler than the ongoing implementation. Not that this is hard to do currently, no. We simply had some ideas how to make it better, and even codeless, so that you do not have to spend much time on this task. In the new version you will be... -

RadChart for WPF/SL Automatic Data Binding to Nested Collections
Seamless operation with diverse data sources is paramount for any data visualization solution. RadChart already supports automatic data binding to IEnumerable sources as seen in this example: http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#Chart/DataBinding. With the growing of Silverlight data sources and support for various data services, however, a new scenario is becoming more common: data binding to a collection of collections or nested collections. I am glad to announce that a new feature is coming in the Q2 2009 release which will make this automatic. Consider the following code snippet: private void FillWithData() { var list1 = new List<double>() { 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 }; //Odd Numbers var list2 = new List<double>() { 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 }; //Even Numbers ... -

Silverlight/WPF RadChart axis improvements.
Along with the numerous updates that are coming up with the Q2.2009 version of RadChart for WPF/SL, we are going to introduce significant improvements of the way our horizontal axis handles user data. Actually, a bunch of new features will make the horizontal axis much more intelligent and easy to use. First of all, the horizontal axis will be able to properly handle "X" value data! As soon as a DataPoint with meaningful "X" value is received, the horizontal axis will enter "strict" mode and will place it appropriately. To make this possible we also implemented the following supporting features: Automatic range calculation...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

Common RadWindow issues and their solution
The RadWindow control is part of the Telerik’s RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX suite and is intended to replace the standard browser’s popup (window.open()). Since the control is based on an IFRAME, it behaves just like one – basically, whatever can be done with an IFRAME, can be achieved with RadWindow as well. This fact is useful when you investigate a reason for some problem related to the RadWindow control. Just replace the RadWindow with a standard IFRAME or browser’s popup and see how your application will behave in this case. If the problem still exists, then it is not related to the...
