Small Businesses, Meet BizSpark
About a year ago, Microsoft launched a cool new program called DreamSpark to help students get started learning to use Microsoft development technologies. DreamSpark allows students to access a wide range of development software from a secure site, allowing them download fully-licensed products like Visual Studio 2008 Professional, SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition, Windows Server 2008, and XNA Game Studio 2.0, among others. I have always thought this was a cool initiative on Microsoft's part to help those developers who don't have the financial means to gain access to these products themselves. Well, it seems Microsoft is at it again. Today S....May 27, 2021 2 min read -

RadControls for WinForms in Telerik Trainer
Recently there was a question posted on the Telerik forums asking if there were plans to include some Telerik Trainer videos for the RadControls for WinForms.

It presents video content on a given topic with the ability to jump to any part of that video via the Table of Contents. Additionally, when there is code being presented as part of the video the Telerik Trainer allows you open the code for...May 27, 2021 1 min read -

[System.Web.Services.WebMethod] public static Telerik.Web.UI.GridBindingData GetData(int startRowIndex, int maximumRows, string sortExpression, string filterExpression) { ... -

Chameleon skinning coming up to WinForms in Q3 2008
I know many of you like our WinForms "Desert" theme: I like it very much too. But I've been using it for quite some time and it started to kind of bore me. I just wish it wasn't so orange-ish. Then I got impressed by the UI of Windows Live's set of desktop applications, which have the cool option to change the skin color - on the fly: Its very neat and I just can't get bored using this kind of UI. Our Windows Form components on the other hand have a very extensible way of skinning, but still, you are...May 05, 2025 2 min read -
