The Object Relational “Impedance Mismatch”
Now I know that most of you are familiar with this “as old as the world” problem, so to ease the uprising tension I will not go into the theoretical and architectural kind of stuff. Rather I want to remind to all of us why the (O)bject (R)elational mapping software domain exists nowadays. In general there are few major obstacles to overcome when designing an efficient N-Tier application. The persistence storage of a modern application is usually a RDBMS. These kinds of systems store information in a highly efficient way and allow fast retrieval, information queries and scalability, and all that... -

Silverlight TreeView Load on Demand
Today I created a really simple application that demonstrates "best practice" for using RadTreeView with load on demand and ADO.NET Data Service. The application uses the Northwind database, that can be downloaded here. The tricky part is that in order to create almost codeless application we need to modify the automatically generated code of the service reference. To do that you will need to show all files in the Silverlight application (click the Show All Files in the Solution Explorer title bar) and then open Reference.cs: In this file replace all occurrences of "System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection" with "System.Collections.ObjectModel.ObservableCollection". This probably will be changed in...October 08, 2008 2 min read -

Last week we decided to start syndicating via Feedburner in order to better track the readership of the Telerik Blogs. The updated URL of the main feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/TelerikWebContext Menu for Silverlight. Integration with RadTreeView
Here at Telerik we are cooking a lot of things with Silverlight. You will see some great new (and big!) controls with our Q3 release that is already knocking on the door. One small, but very popular thing, that is missing in Silverlight2 these days is the Context Menu support. As we got this working already internally, I thought that I'll share the good news with you :) This image above shows the integration between the new RadContextMenu and RadTreeView. As you can see you have full control over the context menu content, and you can also control the shortcut keys that will open the menu. So, any comments about that? ...Web ASP.NET MVCUsing Telerik RadGrid in ASP.NET MVC together with RenderPartial, Ajax.Form, Ajax.ActionLink and UpdateModel
I've made yet another ASP.NET MVC example with RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX however instead of Html.Form and Html.ActionLink I have used Ajax.Form and Ajax.ActionLink: As a result now you have an ajax enabled grid with paging, sorting, select, edit, update, delete and insert: [Download]...ProductivityVisual Studio Tip: Spice Up the IDE
Developing .NET applications is fun stuff. However, if you're like me sometimes using the same tools every day can get a little boring. That's why I often like to spice things up by changing the look of my IDE. Lucky for us, Visual Studio makes it easy to change the look of your development environment in just a few clicks. By heading to Tools | Import and Export Settings... you can export and save a backup of your current settings (a recommended practice before trying out any new settings) or import new settings from a file. These settings are saved in...October 06, 2008 2 min readPeopleWin $500 for your WinForm application

Summary The technique demonstrates how to transform a non-AJAX scenario which adds a CSS <link> tag to the head of the page to work with AJAX, using a client-side javascript function to register the <link>. Using AJAX in an application is probably the standard now. Partial page rendering offers a number of benefits such as increased page responsiveness, as well as close-to-desktop experience using AJAX-based toolkits such as RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. However, adding UpdatePanels to the page and expecting that all of your “postback” logic will continue to function without changes is only true for simple scenarios. There are many more advanced...ReleasePage Navigation for Silverlight 2 RC0
Hi my name is Boryana Miloshevska and I’m a member of Telerik`s Silverlight team. This is my first blog post and it is about the new RadPageNavigation framework that we just released for Silverlight 2 RC0. RadPageNavigation is a framework that allows you to easily add navigation service to your application. To do that you can use the provided RadPage, RadFrame, RadFrameContainer and NavigationService classes, or you can use your own classes to implement the IFrame and ITransition interfaces. The framework is 100% compatible with the WPF navigation service. Navigation between pages is supported. You can also use frames inside each page and to...October 03, 2008 4 min read
