New DEMO page for Telerik Reporting
For a while now, we've been thinking about trying to distinguish between the concept of a QSF (Quick Start Framework) and a Demo. As you know, we call our Demos a QSF, because people can use it to get started with our controls by simply reviewing the code of the example. However, this does not hold true for Telerik Reporting, where the code is auto-generated by the report designer, and thus it does not really help in learning the product. So we decided - why not show how the reports are made instead and leave the designer to take care of the... -

Read only classes and fields
If a table or a view is mapped where the user does not have the rights to change data, it is not helpful that the exception is thrown during commit. Sometimes it is hard to find the place where the write access is done. Those exceptions can now be enforced to be thrown during the write operation itself. The attribute can be set at class level but the wizard does not contain it. In the Q2 release you have to do it by hand, the Q2 Sp1 will contain the UI. The settings on class level are: "readwrite": The default, everything is...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

*UPDATE: This technique is outdated. You can now use the native Telerik Silverlight Report Viewer as of Q3 2009. Please see the updated approach.** With the natural evolution of the Silverlight framework, people are demanding more and more from component vendors. One such request is to service the need to use Telerik Reporting in a Silverlight application. In this post you will see a solution that is very easy to use. You can display the reports done with the Telerik Reporting product in your Silverlight application with just a single line of code.

Reporting Q2 2009 release
Our main efforts for the Q2 2009 release were focused on the table item and as you can see from the release notes, we've added quite a few airs and graces here and there. Most noticeable of all being the two helper items - Table Wizard and CrossTab Wizard, print on every page ability for the ColumnGroup/RowGroup headers, GroupKeepTogether and various design time improvements - merge/split, keyboard navigation/selection and edit. Two improvements to the Report API - Processing Error Handling and the ability to hide the print progress dialog when printing a report programmatically For all of you Excel lovers out there - we've added standard percent, custom numeric... -

Why OpenAccess does require transactions?
OpenAccess relies on lazy loading and change tracking to make is as easy as possible for the user to work with persistent data. But we need a point in time where we can collect all changes in memory and execute the insert, update and delete statements to persist the changes. Typically this is the job of a transaction. The easiest way is to never let OpenAccess run without a started transaction. In this case you only have to call commit or... -

Visual Style Builder for ASP.NET AJAX: A Heavy Update
Too much stuff! Must click little link: to the Style Builder! What's new? RadMenu, RadComboBox and RadInput get their share of styling goodness updated to the new-and-shiny 2009.Q2 release (featuring the real mode of RadColorPicker) the sought-after "base color" in Colorization is available I hope that you will like the UI. We revised it a few times before settling for this. The position of the "Apply" button was way off into nowhere (and, honestly speaking, it still is in the advanced edit). A note about colorization While the 'colorize' mode is indeed more useful (and probably sufficient in most scenarios), the old 'shift colors' algorithm has its... -

Using jQuery to customize RadScheduler
Telerik RadControls' for ASP.NET AJAX rendering is quite jQuery friendly. This is because almost all important html elements are tagged by a css class and therefore can be easily accessed using jQuery. In this blog post I have collected various cases from our forums and ticketing system on using jQuery to customize RadScheduler. Special thanks to all customers or visitors who raised those questions. Q: “I have a scheduler in timeline view showing six weeks of information. Is it possible to change the header row background for the first two weeks?” A: The first step in finding a solution is to examine... -

WPF/Silverlight : RadChart - solving issues with the X axis labels.
As you may already know, since the invention of the chart control there are some cornerstone cases when most of the implementations do not perform well. One of these is the arrangement of labels on the horizontal axis and especially when placed in a limited space(overlapping labels). This problem is clearly visible on the image below: Several ways to work around this problem have been developed and during the last months we put efforts to implement most of them. Our recent Q2.2009 release of RadChart for WPF/SL offers the following AxisX properties: LabelStep - when set to n, this property will make only...May 27, 2021 1 min read -

Reverse Mapping and Using Database Views with Telerik OpenAccess ORM
We are glad to announce that one of the major improvements for our 2009 Q2 release is the support for database views. Views are stored queries accessed as virtual tables which represent the result of a query. To provide higher security, they can encapsulate the data into smaller result sets accessible from particular roles. Views are also used to combine data from many tables and allow the developer to expose the table data to the user in a more natural manner. Performance optimizations for fast searching and reading can be accomplished as well when using indexed views. Now with Telerik OpenAccess ORM...May 27, 2021 4 min read -
