RadScheduler for Silverlight
At the beginning of Q2 we started several major initiatives and the results of them will start to appear soon (with the forthcoming SP2 release and Q2 2009). One of these major tasks we are currently working on is the RadScheduler for Silverlight. We are already done with porting the major features from its WPF counterpart and soon we will launch an official Beta release for you to evaluate. The Beta release is scheduled for the end of this month. The RadScheduler for Silverlight Beta will be shipped with the Office Black theme that is the default theme for the official... -

Localization for RadControls for Silverlight and WPF
As we are continuously working on the localization of all our controls, we'd like to share how the localization is actually progressing at our side. With the RadControls for Silverlight Q1 2009 SP1 we introduced the LocalizationManager. Actually we have used it to localize the RadUpload control for Silverlight. Now we have four more controls localized right from the box: RadTreeView, RadMediaPlayer, RadColorSelector and RadColorPicker. In the attached example you can see them localized. Another control to be localized soon is the RadGridView control. The LocalizationManager allows you to easily localize any of our controls. In addition, we followed the practice to share the same code across Silverlight... -

Half and quarter circle RadGauge.
Recently John showed how to create half-circle gauges and now I am glad to announce that RadGauge, both WPF and Silverlight, supports half-circle and quarter-circle styles out of the box. All you need to do is provide the correct resource through a ResourceDictionary and then use the corresponding style. The styles are named after the major geographical directions -- North, East, South and West, well we only use the first letters here - N, E, S and W. So the styles you need are <Theme>RadialGaugeHalfCircle<Direction>Style and <Theme>RadialScaleHalfCircle<Direction>Style. Check the following example - semi-circular, south-directed vista-styled gauge: And this is the XAML used: ...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

Everyone is different when it comes to where they go to get answers to their development questions. Many people use popular search engines like Google, while others prefer visit forums like Stack Overflow first. Where do YOU go when you need help? Telerik offers a plethora of options when it comes to finding an answer of how to accomplish a task. These resources allow you to not only answer questions, but also learn more about a product and become more proficient. I thought it might make a useful post to mention the options in case you missed one. Forums The...May 27, 2021 3 min read -

Breaking the ice: RIA Services and Silverlight 3
Implementing Line of Business applications has never been easier before. RIA services together with the rich presentation layer in Silverlight provide a powerful foundation for building n-tier application that will do the heavy lifting of your data layer. RIA Services relies on the ADO.NET Entity Framework to create an entity data model of your relational database and interpret the entities independently of their data store representation. In this way you can use the power of LINQ to Entities to implement query logic against the entities without using t-sql, and rely on the entity relationship to retrieve information for any relationship between... -

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
