    RadChart for Silverlight

    Mid March is coming and there are a lot of good news for our Silverlight controls to be shared with all of you – the 2009 Q1 release is near. Along with the official version of RadGridView, RadDocking, RadEditor CTP and a bunch of new features and improvements, RadChart for Silverlight is also coming into play. With the 2009 Q1 release we'll introduce 2D charts for Silverlight that share the same appearance and behavior as their counterparts in WPF. This is due to the fact that both of the suites share common codebase and API. I’m sure the next question will be...

    Telerik Reporting Gets Closer to Becoming a True Business Intelligence (BI) Solution

    Q1 2009 will be a milestone release for Telerik’s .NET Reporting tool as it introduces a new instrument for data analysis - cross tabs. Cross tabs display data in a matrix format, and are used to present and analyze the relationship between two or more variables. Cross tabulation is a great BI tool, because it provides decision makers with a data format which is easy to understand, and more importantly - easy to analyze. The Telerik Reporting Cross Tab item will offer design-time support in Visual Studio, not seen in a reporting product in this price bracket. It will be intuitive and...

    A new look at Telerik Trainer Resources

    For those of you who haven't taken a look at Telerik Trainer, I highly recommend you give it a once-over and see it for yourself.  Using the newest technology that .Net 3.5 has to offer, we have a rich, interactive, and easy to use training application that provides you with not only fantastic video tutorials, but also tips along the way and source code that you can follow along with to help in the learning process:     But I think that Ivo and John both have enough nice things to say about Telerik Trainer, I'm going to show you a neat new way that you can...

    The Right Tool for the Right Job: RadTextBox for ASP.NET AJAX

    There are many ways to collect user input in ASP.NET web forms. There is the traditional ASP.NET TextBox control, or the handful of extenders available in the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit. Or, you could stick to straight HTML with the <input> and <textarea> elements. For developers using Telerik’s web controls, there are more (and better) options. The RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX contain a set of input controls collectively named RadInput controls. Included in this set are the RadTextBox, RadNumericTextBox, RadMaskedTextBox, RadDateInput, and RadInputManager. In this blog post I will discuss the features of the RadTextBox for ASP.NET AJAX, including those which make it...

    RadRotator and RadMenu for ASP.NET AJAX: Building an Interactive Menu Together

    It’s always cool to see how the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX work together. Today I saw a question from a customer asking if the RadRotator can be used to create a menu similar to that on the Experts Exchange web site. If you’re unfamiliar with their menu, it’s got a lot of options in it. Because there are so many menu choices they decided to make the menu interactive, adding a button to the right-hand side of the menu which, when clicked, replaces the existing menu options with another set. Using this approach means you no longer have to be concerned about having...
