Binding to custom fields with RadScheduler for WinForms
We just finished working on the Q2 2009 release of RadControls for WinForms. One of the best things about releases is that we get to show off the cool new stuff that we managed to get done. One of my favorite features is the full support for binding to custom fields in RadScheduler. Yes, this means that you finally can have RadScheduler bound to that email field in your data source. And do you know what’s the best part? It’s fairly easy: 1. If you have not already done this, add your custom field to your data source. 2. You will need a custom...May 27, 2021 3 min read -

Welcome the Free Test Automation Solution for RadControls
I’m happy to announce that a FREE test automation solution is now officially part of the Telerik portfolio. I’ll summarize here some of its fundamentals as well as how to get started with the WebAii Testing Framework. First of all, it’s an extension of WebAii, the ArtOfTest’s free Web testing automation library. During the past years the framework was greatly extended and its user base/popularity grew tremendously. Now it serves as the very base of advanced test automation solutions such as ArtOfTest’s Automation Design Canvas and its Telerik brother – WebUI Test Studio. Many QAs and developers ...July 06, 2009 4 min read -

Z-index demystified
In this blog post I will try to explain how CSS z-index works and a how to avoid a few common mistakes. First of all the z-index is used to control the z-order of positioned HTML elements. Simply put it controls the stacking order of HTML elements. To set it set the "z-index" CSS attribute of your element to some integer value. Z-index works only for positioned elements. Positioned elements are elements whose "position" CSS attribute is set to "relative", "absolute" or "fixed". The default "position" is "static" which means that by default setting z-index has no effect. Z-index is NOT measured in... -

Object Scope lifecycle management in web scenarios
The stateless nature of the Http protocol brings quite a deal of concerns about the handling of the IObjectScope in a web application. Few questions usually arise when dealing with entity containers (like the DataContext in Linq to SQL or the IObjectScope in Telerik OpenAccess ORM): where to initialize the scope, where to dispose it, how to integrate with the Page’s lifecycle, etc.. In this post we share our views on the best-practices approaches that secure safe and consistent use of the IObjectScope in web scenarios. The desired result of the used patterns is to have one object scope, initialized on...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

RadControls Q2 2009 source requires Visual Studio 2008
The upcoming Q2 2009 release of RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax is now built with Visual Studio 2008. As most of you know Visual Studio 2008 supports multi-targeting and we decided to exploit that feature in order to improve our productivity. Here are the main reasons of preferring Visual Studio 2008 over Visual Studio 2005: The IDE provides better development experience. C# 3.0 provides lots of features which do not require .NET 3.5. To name a few: object initializers using the new "var" keyword anonymous types auto properties Improved compilation time. Seamless change of configurations - we can easily change the .NET framework version from the project settings. This however does... -
