    Telerik on Windows 7 Beta – The Complete Overview

    For those of you that follow my TelerikWatch blog, you know that I recently made the jump to Windows 7 on my primary workstation (build 7000, to be exact). I’ve spent the weekend installing, tweaking, and testing the latest iteration of Windows, and like Vassil before me, my impressions are generally positive. Microsoft has definitely worked hard to ensure the compatibility nightmares of the XP to Vista jump are not repeated with Windows 6.1 7. I’m confident I’ll be able to use Windows 7- even in beta form- reliably as my full-time OS from this point forward. As far as Telerik is...

    Transpose or just rows as columns

    A common scenario when displaying tabular data is to flip the axis so your rows becomes columns and vice versa. This can be easily achieved when you know the shape of your data. For example imagine we have a Customer class with 3 properties:  Name, Age and JobCode. Let’s say that we have 5 customers in our data repository. If we want to select just the names we can do something like this: IList<Customer> customers = Customer.GetAll(); var names =     new         {             Customer1 = customers[0].Name,             Customer2 = customers[1].Name,             Customer3 = customers[2].Name,             Customer4 = customers[3].Name,             Customer5 = customers[4].Name         }; Imagine that another Customer is added and suddenly...

    Forward Mapping with OpenAccess and MySQL

    Those of us who develop with the .NET Framework have probably connected to a Microsoft SQL Server database at one time or another. If you’re using v3.5 of the Framework, you’ve probably even used the new LINQ to SQL object relational mapper to hook your web forms up to your database for easy data display and manipulation. But what happens if you aren’t using SQL Server? What if you want the same functionality – and ease of use – that LINQ to SQL provides, but need to use a different database technology? Enter OpenAccess. Telerik’s OpenAccess ORM supports many of the most popular...

    OpenAccess, WCF, and a RadGrid (Oh My!)

    I’ve been working on a project that uses OpenAccess ORM as the persistence layer between my app and the database. Since the app is going to be used on both web and client platforms I wanted to add a services layer to serve up the data. Turns out it’s pretty easy to do. So I’ll walk you through a quick demo of how to hook OpenAccess up to WCF services and then consume the data with a RadGrid. Set up the project structure First, create a class library project called Data to hold the data access code. This is where you’ll use OpenAccess to...

    Hiding JavaScript code from old browsers

    Sometimes we need to hide the JavaScript code from the old browsers that do not support it. To prevent old browsers from displaying your JS code, do the following:   Immediately after the opening <script> tag, put a one-line HTML-style comment without the closing characters, so that the first two lines of your script would look like this: <script language="JavaScript"><!-- At the end of your script, put the following two lines: //--></script> Thus, your HTML file will contain the following fragment: <script language="JavaScript"> <!--     ...

    Telerik announces the RadToolBar for Silverlight.

    With the upcoming Q1 release Telerik will include an official version of the RadToolBar control in the RadControls for Silverlight bundle.
