Reporting Q3 SP2 - a few small improvements for a service pack
Hi guys! I just decided to bring you up to speed with our Q3 SP2 release. On top of the improvements we introduced with the new rendering engine in the Q3 version, we have prepared a few small surprises for the Q3 SP2 as well: optimization of image/pdf/rtf rendering. As you know, Q3 2008 came with new paging logic that introduced a superior and more sophisticated algorithm for calculation and inspection of pages before they are rendered. Now we take a step further and make it possible to decrease the rendering time with almost 30% when PageCount is...May 27, 2021 1 min read -

WPF How To: Endless scrolling of 2mil. records using BackgroundWorker and LINQ to SQL
I’ve made small demo how to create easily endless scrolling of almost 2 mil. records (exact count is 1770607) using RadGridView for WPF. When you reach the bottom of the vertical scrollbar, more data will be retrieved on-the-fly from the data-base server: For asynchronous data loading you can use BackgroundWorker: BackgroundWorker worker = new BackgroundWorker(); worker.DoWork += new DoWorkEventHandler(worker_DoWork); worker.RunWorkerCompleted += new RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler(worker_RunWorkerCompleted); worker.RunWorkerAsync(); … void worker_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e) { NorthwindDataContext context = new NorthwindDataContext(); queryable = from o in context.Orders from od in context.Order_Details ... -

JavaScript Timing Events
This article is taken from W3Schools. With JavaScript, it is possible to execute some code NOT immediately after a function is called, but after a specified time interval. This is called timing events. It's very easy to time events in JavaScript. The two key methods that are used are: setTimeout() - executes a code some time in the future clearTimeout() - cancels the setTimeout() setTimeout() Syntax var t=setTimeout("javascript statement",milliseconds); The setTimeout() method returns a value - In the statement above, the value is stored in a variable called t. If you want to cancel this setTimeout(), you can refer to it using the variable name. The first parameter of setTimeout() is a... -

Quickly Formatting Data with the RadGridView for WinForms
Most developers have encountered a need at some point to modify how data is displayed to the user. The RadGridView offers a very straightforward way to format data without having to modify the source data. For example, you may not want the time displayed with a DateTime field, or you want to change the structure of the data to meet an internal standard. The screenshot below shows three different fields which display the default DateTime format. This may be valid data, but it may not be useful to the user and we could potentially save screen real estate by eliminating... -

Optimization Tips: RadInput vs. RadInputManager
In the Q3 2008 release, Telerik introduced a new control to the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX suite called RadInputManager. Like RadInput, it is designed to enable you to provided textboxes to your users that give real-time validation and feedback based on the entered text. The big difference with RadInputManager, though, is that you don't have to add lots of Telerik Input controls on your page to get this real-time feedback. Instead, you can quickly convert "standard" ASP.NET TextBoxes to RadInput textboxes via the RadInputManager configuration- similar to how you can use RadAjaxManager to quickly ajaxify your page without littering it with... -

Exporting data to Excel using the RadGridView for WinForms
There usually comes a time for most developers when they need to use the data being displayed in an application, outside of that application. There are obviously a number of ways you can present data, but it is common to leverage Microsoft Excel. It provides a similar look and feel to the grid which means minimal reformatting, plus Excel is widely used and therefore most offices should have a version of the software available. How to get your data into Excel? The RadGridView offers a couple of options to accomplish this task. First, you can use the Primary...
