    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! Steve...

    RadScheduler 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.

    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...

    Using 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...

    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...

    Using Distributed Cache with Telerik OpenAccess ORM

    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...
