    Telerik Sets a New Era in Automated Web Testing

    Yes, Telerik is adding a new product to its portfolio! Maybe you are already aware of that thanks to the numerous blog posts and comments in the press. What you might be still curious to learn, though, is how Telerik will keep its promise of opening a new era in automated web testing. The motivation behind this product is simple – most companies today don’t use automated testing! Why? Well, simply because the current tools are very complex, very expensive and very generic. If you want to test a slick web 2.0 application with more-than-basic interactivity you simply can’t. And if...

    Visual Studio 2008: Where is the new ASP.NET Ajax-Enabled Web Site template?

    UPDATE: Visual Studio 2010 does not have the Ajax-Enabled Web Site template as well. It always creates an ajax enabled web sites/applications, so what you need to do is just check if the ScriptManager is on your page. If you use RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax with Visual Studio 2005 you should be familiar with the Add New > ASP.NET Ajax-Enabled Web Site template. This is the option that you often choose in the add New Web Site dialog: Selecting this template gives you two benefits: 1. Your web.config file is automatically configured to use ASP.NET Ajax so you do not have to do anything manually. 2. The default...

    Building WPF-like Interfaces with RadControls for WinForms

    A couple of weeks ago I did a quick review of the white papers we have on RadControls for WinForms and it turned out that they, just like humans, age with time. Although still valid, the white papers were outdated, so we decided to rejuvenate them. The first white paper which we brought up to date is “Building WPF-like Interfaces with RadControls for WinForms." In addition to bringing WPF to the equation (it used to compare our WinForms suite to Windows Vista, which was hype back when the original white paper was published two years ago), it received a new...

    Web Service binding with RadScheduler for ASP.NET AJAX

    I'm very excited to announce that the Q1 Beta version of RadScheduler features a completely new Web Service binding mode. This is an important milestone in our quest for top performance. In this mode all operations are forwarded to a Web Service for processing using JSON for transport. This completely eliminates the need for postbacks and improves server load and bandwidth usage. The Firebug screenshot below demonstrates a typical RadScheduler session (with primed browser cache) using Web Service binding: The live demo demonstrates how to set-up RadScheduler using Web Service binding. The process is straight-forward and will be even easier after the final release....

    Telerik Reporting: Using the PictureBox Item

    Telerik Reporting comes with all essential report items in the Visual Studio toolbox to help you more easily design rich reports. One such report item, the PictureBox, is used to display images on a report. The PictureBox is simple and easy-to-use like the other report items, but in this post I’d like to highlight a couple of its features so that you can take full advantage of its capabilities. Specifically, I will discuss the data binding and layout features that are unique to the PictureBox item. Data Binding Binding image data to a PictureBox report item is very straight-forward. If you’re using the...

    WebUI Test Studio: Introducing the RadControls Translators

    The Automation Design Canvas is a great test automation solution. You’ll get convinced after watching the videos on Telerik TV or downloading the WebUI Test Studio and start recording your first tests. And still there’s something great to be found about this tool – its excellent extensibility model.   Building the translators During the last couple of months our team had the pleasure to work on extending the tool for the purpose of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX application test automation. We aim to provide the extensions that will enable our customers to create the necessary regression tests as easy as ...

    Reporting: assembly scoped user functions

    Hi guys, We've been having requests for the feature in the title for some time and finally we were able to introduce it in the Q3 SP2 release.  Generally user functions allow you to extend the default behavior of the Telerik Reporting engine. They are public static  (Public Shared in VB.NET) methods that should always return a value and can take an arbitrary number of input parameters depending on your needs. They are public static, because they are not related to a concrete instance of a report. They are executed by the expression engine and work in the context of the report processing. If you...

    Prism v2 now supports Silverlight and WPF

    You know Telerik's commitment to provide cross platform Silverlight and WPF controls with shared code base.

Here is an extract from the project description from the codeplex site: "The Composite Application Guidance for WPF and Silverlight is designed to help you more easily build enterprise-level Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Silverlight client applications.
