Telerik @ TechEd Europe 2009 in Berlin – Day 3
Steve did great presentations today about “Daily Scrum” and “Tools and Agile Teams”. Since he is always coding in his presentations using the latest technologies and releases he made it to use VS2010 with OpenAccess. Watch his Blog this week about this topic.

So people started to get used to the new look: Thanks so far to the more than 1000 people having visited our booth. 2 days to go …... -

What’s new in RadChart for Silverlight Q3 2009
It has been a busy Q for the data visualization team at telerik! Our flagship chart product saw many improvements and new features the last four months and today I will summarize the most important ones for you. Here are the 5 big ones: 1. Grouping and Aggregation – RadChart now utilizes our powerful data engine already present in the RadGridView control to allow for a really fast grouping and aggregation of data. This comes built-in and works with all supported data sources! You can read more here. 2. Multiple YAxis support – RadChart will now allow you to add unlimited number... -

Anyway we could have a short break and our CSO Steve managed the whole booth on his own … At the end of another very busy day we enjoyed the reception in the exhibition area. People love our T-Shirts so much that we will run out of them shortly. So if you are an attendee not having one yet, hurry up tomorrow morning and come to booth V7/V8 in the VSIP zone. 3 days... -

The RadGridView control now uses new UI virtualization mechanism that makes you scroll 5x faster than before. The new UI virtualization works both vertically and horizontally,... -

Using ViewModel objects to improve the Ajax performance of Telerik Grid for ASP.NET MVC
In this blog post I will demonstrate how to squeeze the most from Telerik Grid for ASP.NET MVC when using Ajax binding. Lets start with a simple grid bound to the Northwind Orders table: View: <%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<IEnumerable<UsingDto.Models.Order>>" %><asp:Content ID="indexTitle" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server"> Home Page</asp:Content><asp:Content ID="indexContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server"><%= Html.Telerik().Grid(Model) .Name("Grid") .Columns(columns => { columns.Add(o => o.OrderID).Width(100); columns.Add(o => o.Customer.ContactName).Width(200); ... -

It is a tool that is available free for the community. It allows you to compare two Microsoft code named “M” files, see a visual diff, and then merge the results. (M is the code name for a new data modeling language from Microsoft.) Telerik has expanded the tool to allow comparison of items in the SQL Server “Repository” and then do the same visualdiff and them merge the schema. Developers who have been playing with the M language and repository will find it very useful to have a tool that will allow comparisons and migrations, since the requirements... -

How to Use Google Spellcheck with RadSpell
Sometimes the default spellchecking algorithms in RadSpell are not providing the best possible suggestions for misspelled words. For example, the phonetic algorithm works best with English words, but is not very accurate with Russian. The edit distance algorithm is language independent, but will not recognize easy mistakes if the word spelling is not very similar to the original. Unfortunately, implementing your own custom algorithm for a specific language is not an easy task. The latest Q3 2009 release of the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX features a new example for RadSpell, which shows how to use an existing service provided by... -

Using Telerik Grid for ASP.NET MVC without any server-side code
Since all Telerik UI components for ASP.NET MVC are actually jQuery plugins one can use them without any server-side code (or ASP.NET MVC). In this blog post I will show how to use the grid and bind it to Twitter. Here are the required steps: Register the two CSS files to style the grid: <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="telerik.common.min.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="telerik.vista.min.css" /> </head> Then add the JavaScript files: ... -

Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC – Troubleshooting
Wow it has been a busy release! I am glad that we managed to release our first home-grown UI extensions for ASP.NET MVC. I hope you like them and please, please share your feedback in the forum. In this blog post I will highlight the most common problems you may encounter while using the extensions and their solutions. Here we go: The control renders fine but its client-side features do not work The most common reason is that there is no ScriptRegistrar or it is placed before the UI components. It is mandatory that you add a ScriptRegistrar because the UI components require it...
