    WPF: Debugging Expression Blend Exceptions with Visual Studio

     Although Expression Blend and Visual Studio can work on the same solution / project files, they remain two separate IDEs and it is not uncommon for certain functionality to work correctly in the Visual Studio design-time environment and throw an error in the Expression Blend one. The Blend error output does not always help much with identifying the reason for the erroneous behavior:    This clearly does not give us enough information to track the problem down. Fortunately there is an easier way to detect the problem instead of wandering around the code in a manual “debugging” session – the Visual Studio...

    Telerik OpenAccess ORM licensing and pricing

    Immediately after word got out that we acquired Vanatec, customers started asking us what are our plans for the tool, how much it is going to cost and whether they would get it for free or they would have to upgrade. While we will be releasing information about our future plans for OpenAccess and will publish the ORM roadmap in the weeks to come, I wanted to make a quick note about licensing. The good news for customers with an all-inclusive subscription is that they will get the tool free of charge, as well as any updates that are out during their subscription....

    RadControls for Silverlight 2 - Drag and Drop Basics

    Who would not like to implement a sleek drag and drop in minutes? I definitely would. This is why I find the new RadDragAndDrop a welcome addition to the controls. Straight to the point then: How to implement a simple drag/drop? To answer this question I will walk you through the DragDrop example that is available here: http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#Examples/DragAndDrop/FirstLook This example shows that the DragDrop can be used with any controls/objects, not just the Telerik RadControls. DragDrop 101 Few simple things to remember: Every object that will be dragged must have AllowDrag property to true, it is an attached property and in xaml it can be set the following way:   <Rectangle...

    RadControls for Silverlight 2 Released Soon!

    The RadControls for Silverlight 2 have remained a beta product as we waited on Microsoft to finish the second major version of their browser plug-in. Well, without much fanfare Silverlight 2 was officially released today. In case you haven't been paying attention, this version is huge and introduces an enormous amount of improvements from version 1, the biggest of which is its support for .NET code in the browser. As with our other control suites, the Silverlight team at Telerik has remained on the cutting edge of this new technology and is eager to release the official version of its RadControls...

    Joining the Silverlight Testing World

    Back in late 2006 I started this blog, posting content based entirely on the ASP.NET tester’s activities. At the end of summer 2008 I was still completely focused on ASP.NET. You never know what fate will bring you in a month, what about a year or two. Since the beginning of September 2008 I joined the Telerik Silverlight team. My main responsibilities are to build the test strategy, organize the work in all terms of quality assurance and help the team of talented developers release a great suite of Silverlight controls. You have probably already seen the latest nice ...

    Storing User Docking preferences

        Many times in an application you want your user to have the ability to set preferences.  This extends to a variety of settings, but what about the interface itself?  If you are using the DockingManager you can give the user the ability to modify the layout of existing DockPanels and store it for them.  Why would you want to let the user change the layout?  Every person is different and most people enjoy having the option of customizing an application.  This can be as simple as having a tool window on the right of the screen instead of the...
