A brand new Timeline view for Teleriks Scheduler control for Silverlight/WPF
Along with other main features like standard resources and resource grouping, the Q3 2009 release brought an additional view to the present ones (Day, Week and Month) – Timeline. Briefly said, it displays a certain number of consecutive time slots and like all other views, the Timeline view is configurable in almost the same way. Here is how it looks like by default: … where each time slot is 1 day long (i.e. TimeSlotLength of the TimelineViewDefinition is equal to one day) and the date in each header is displayed in a “d-M-yyyy” format. Let’s tweak a bit some of the settings related... -

Using Connection Strings with Telerik OpenAccess ORM
As you might already found out, with the 2009 Q3 release of Telerik OpenAccess ORM we made the first step of providing an easier and more natural way of defining database connection settings for your applications. In other words, OpenAccess now supports standard ADO.NET connection strings. The aim of this post is to brief you how to use them with the product. To use Telerik OpenAccess ORM in a Visual Studio project, you should run the Enable project wizard first. A detailed article on how to use the wizard can be found in our documentation. Let’s just see what is new in this release....November 17, 2009 2 min read -

(I am not listed on the PDC web site for some reason, but I will be there alongside Joel.) We will most definitely show the Telerik Dashboard and Work Item Manager as well as chat about tons of other great tools. Most importantly, we want to hear from you at this session. We did it that way at TechEd in LA earlier this year (the #1 ranked interactive session at TechEd 2009) and it worked well. Hope to see you there and have a great discussion.

WebAii v2.0: Let Your Tests Share the Same Browser Instance
One of the features I really enjoy in WebAii v2.0 is the RecycleBrowser option. It changes the behavior of your tests, i.e. they keep running in the same browser instance (when set to ‘true’) instead of opening a new browser for each test. The default value is ‘false’ for consistency with the previous framework versions behavior. You can programmatically update that setting via the Settings class or using the Application’s config file. However, there are some details you should have in mind when using that option. We do use the RecycleBrowser option in the WebAii Testing Framework Sample Tests ...November 13, 2009 4 min read -

It is context sensitive and changes its state depending on the projects you are working on. 1) Create New Telerik Project menu item This state can be observed when no solution is opened or the currently selected project is not suitable for use with RadControls.

Using Telerik OpenAccess with Visual Studio 2010 Beta2
digg_url = "http://www.stephenforte.net/PermaLink,guid,bb9d49fd-982f-433b-9617-547de01a7978.aspx";digg_title = "Using Telerik OpenAccess with Visual Studio 2010 Beta2";digg_bgcolor = "#FFFFFF";digg_skin = "normal";digg_url = undefined;digg_title = undefined;digg_bgcolor = undefined;digg_skin = undefined; Just a few weeks ago Microsoft released Visual Studio 2010 Beta2. Last week Telerik put its Q3 release live into production. One of the cool new Q3 features is that OpenAccess now works seamlessly with Visual Studio 2010. That means you can target .NET 3.5 or .NET 4.0 using either Visual Studio 2008 (.NET 3.5) or Visual Studio 2010 (.NET 4.0). I will do a quick demo with Visual Studio 2010, SQL Azure, and OpenAccess. With OpenAccess Q3 installed, I fired up Visual Studio 2010 and started a console project targeting .NET 4.0 While the project will target the .NET 4.0 Framework, we have to do one small thing to make... -

How to: Create custom editor with RadGridView for Silverlight and WPF
If you need a custom editor to edit a specific data, you can use one of the following approaches: Use CellEditTemplate property of the GridViewColumn. Create a custom column by inheriting from GridViewBoundColumnBase. As almost anything in our life both approaches have some advantages and disadvantages. Although it is quite easy to implement the first option, there are some significant disadvantages like not so usable with many RadGridView instances, and more important this bypasses the RadGridView validation and editing engine. For more information about this approach you can take a look at this online example. In this blog post I’ll try to explain how to... -

Fairfield / Westchester Code Camp 2009
So this is not my normal type of post, but I wanted to take a moment to thank the folks over at the Fairfield / Westchester Code Camp for a great time this past Saturday. They had 24 sessions going over 4 tracks to cover the day, with a lot of great content on everything from my personal favorite, Silverlight, to Azure, F#, Poweshell, and a ton more. Looking forward to all of the presentations being posted online so I could see some of what I missed. Telerik was one of the sponsors for this awesome code camp, but aside from...
