Making a RadGauge look like a Dial
I have had several people ask me about whether Telerik offers a dial control. I thought it might be interesting to try and leverage the RadGauge control to build something that looks like a dial. Essentially the RadGauge offers all the capabilities you would need, it is just a matter of styling. I decided to build a kitchen timer application so I could create a dial theme. I am no artist, but I think my end result turned out pretty well. The video below will demonstrate how I use Expression Blend to quickly get a 3D (ok, 3Dish, again I...May 27, 2021 1 min read -

WebUI Test Studio and Sitefinity
The folks from Telerik Sitefinity team just blogged about testing the Sitefinity modules with WebUI Test Studio. There are several important facts I’d like to point you to: - You can automate the testing of all the elements on the page in any ASP.NET Web application with WebUI Test Studio. Sitefinity CMS is an excellent example as its modules often contain quite complex pages. - Although we often highlight the RadControls Translators we add as the third component of the test studio, the product is not limited to testing of RadControls-based applications at all. For example such small but ...May 27, 2021 1 min read -

Executing JavaScript function from server-side code
This is a pretty common scenario when working with WebForms. There are many ways to achieve the desired result, but they have one thing in common – you should make sure that the controls are fully loaded in the page before trying to get a reference to them and use them in your JavaScript code. In ASP.NET it is pretty straightforward to do that. For example you could use a label: ASPX <head runat="server"> <title>Untitled Page</title> <script type="text/javascript"> function calledFn() { alert("code fired"); } </script> </head> <body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Run JavaScript Code" OnClick="Button1_Click" /> <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server"></asp:Label> ... -

Cannot discover WCF services in your Silverlight application?
If you try to add service reference in your Silverlight application and you simply cannot discover any services in the solution using the Add Service Reference tool here is the way how to solve it. Note that the issue occurs both in Silverlight 2 and Silverlight 3 Beta. 1. Uninstall your Silverlight tools for Visual Studio 2. Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE or the place you have installed your Visual Studio environment. 3. Delete the file Microsoft.VisualStudio.ServicesProxy.dll 4. Install again Silverlight tools for Visual Studio and note that your file will be created again. There seems to be something wrong with the installer of Silverlight tools, which... -

How to show hidden panes in the Silverlight docking control
Usually, when you use docking manager you want to be able to re-open the closed panes. This looks as simple as setting the IsHidden property of the pane to False. However, this does not cover all the cases. The pane might be in a ToolWindow and this ToolWindow might be closed by its X button. In this case, the pane would not be hidden, but it would not be visible either as it is in the hidden window. Another approach might be closing the last pane in a ToolWindow, thus triggering closing the window, too. In this case the pane will...May 27, 2021 3 min read -

Running WebUI Test Studio tests with MSTest and MSBuild
Introduction Let’s start with a few words about MSTest and MSBuild. MSTest is a software unit testing framework developed by Microsoft. With MSTest you can manage and run unit tests from within the Visual Studio IDE, as well as externally, from the command line. MSBuild is a Microsoft build platform typically used in conjunction with Visual Studio. MSBuild version 2.0 is part of .NET Framework 2.0 and works together with Visual Studio 2005. Version 3.5 of MSBuild, which is bundled together with .NET 3.5 (and Visual Studio 2008), allows .NET projects to be built for either 2.0, 3.0 or ...May 27, 2021 3 min read -

Saying goodbye…
Today marked my last day as a Telerik Evangelist. It is with some regret that I say goodbye because I have really enjoyed my time with Telerik, getting to know both the outstanding products we build, the outstanding people who build them, and the outstanding customers we support. Telerik has been a great (and fun!) company to work for, and I can’t say enough good things about them. I have been impressed with how deeply Telerik cares about their customers and how tirelessly they work to “deliver more than expected” for each and every one of you. Even though I’m...May 27, 2021 1 min read
