Using pre-Q1 2009 skins with Q1 2009!
As I wrote in the following much commented post when the Q1 2009 beta was released - RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX did receive a major face-lift! Despite the major improvements in a number of important areas, this change has caused turmoil as well (somewhat regrettably for both sides - customers and Telerik developers - involved). After the release, two major requests came from customers: 1) to help them keep an "old-style" skin in their applications as they liked it more than the new version, as well as 2) help them update their existing custom skins. I spent the last couple of days implementing... -

WinForms Q1 2009 and some RadRibbonBar Sugar
Now that the latest version of RadControls for WinForms was released, we decided that a blog post about the newly introduced features of the RadRibbonBar will come exactly on time. As many of you know, we worked hard on the implementation of our new and much improved layout system in the RadRibbonBar. Now we can proudly say that the migration has been successfully accomplished, and many issues related to the old layout of the Ribbon are now history. Let’s start with the resizing and positioning of the Chunks (now called Groups) within a Tab Page in the RadRibbonBar: We have entirely redesigned... -

RadControls for Silverlight Q1'09: Theming
Q1'09 was a huge release for the Telerik Silverlight controls - the Docking, GridView, Chart, MaskedTextBox, Toolbar, and ColorPicker controls are now official. We also shipped the first CTP of the rich text editor for Silverlight - RadEditor. If you missed - we also redesigned our demos application. Not only we shipped all these new controls, but we also spent a lot of efforts to ensure that our themes are with top quality. For all the controls we shipped 3 themes - Vista, Office and Summer. We made the needed adjustments to ensure that they are editable in the latest version of Blend - Blend2SP1. Along with these changes we added styles... -

WebUI Test Studio Officially Released!
The official release of Telerik WebUI Test Studio is finally out! The Q1 2009 bits were uploaded last Thursday, March 12.

Telerik Reporting: Connecting to Stored Procedures
I’ve blogged in the past about the many ways you can connect your reports to data. Because the developers who build Telerik’s Reporting Tool wanted to make it as flexible as possible, they designed it to have the ability to bind to any object that implements one of the four supported interfaces: IEnumerable, IListSource, ITypedList, and IDbDataAdapter. What does this mean for you? No matter where your data comes from – plain SQL queries, stored procedures, web services, etc – you can bind it to a Telerik report. Okay, I realize that showing an example is much more effective than just talking...May 27, 2021 4 min read -
