You can easily see how the themed controls look like after building a simple Silverlight application and setting any of the predefined themes. You shouldn’t miss the themes demo that allows applying a theme of the controls by a single button click. I’d like to give you another tip and at the same time to share something from the Telerik Silverlight kitchen. The tip gives you a chance to get quickly all the controls themed in a complex application containing tens ...

    New support resources search facilities on telerik.com

    Greetings everyone, With the brand new look-and-feel of telerik.com we introduced for the landmark Q3 2008 release you probably noticed that the support resources searching capabilities have changed, too. Our aim was to expose intuitive and straight-forward means to browse the available resources based on their type and find the information/examples you need in a blink of an eye. In a nutshell, we would like each visitor to have the ability to search by product line and get a list of results with a leading indicator image designating the resource type (demo, help topic, knowledge base article, code library project, etc.). Since a...

    How To: Strongly typed values for your TextBoxes

    Very often you need to parse/convert TextBox Text property value to some other type however I’ve never seen any universal approach for this so far… and I’m offering you one :) using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using System.Web.UI.WebControls; public static class TextBoxExtensions { public static T Value<T>(this TextBox textBox) { return (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(textBox.Text))? ChangeType<T>(textBox.Text) : default(T); } public static T ChangeType<T>(object value) { return (T)Convert.ChangeType(value, Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(typeof(T)) ?? typeof(T)); } } It's simple, isn't it? :)...

    WPF/ Silverlight: RadGauge Layout Composition

    Today I would like to highlight one of the newest controls added to the WPF / Silverlight control suites in November – the RadGauge control.

    How do I pause execution in JavaScript?

    The current article is taken from javascript.faqts Contributors: ha mo, Daniel LaLiberte, Brent Boyer, Martin Honnen, mercury rising,   There is no true wait, sleep, or similar function in either the core JavaScript language or in client side JavaScript. Client side JavaScript however provides     setTimeout('js code here', delayInMilliseconds) which allows you to schedule execution of piece of script and setInterval('js code here', intervalInMilliseconds) which allows you to periodically execute a piece of script. So if you wanted (pseudo code) statement1;  wait (someDelay);  statement2;  you would stuff the code into functions: function statement1 () {      // your code here  }  function statement2 () {      // your code here  }    and call statement1();  setTimeout('statement2()', someDelay);      If you wanted (pseudo...

    Get Organized with the RadPanelBar

    If you have ever used Microsoft Outlook or Windows Explorer, you have seen the use of panels to organize content.  See Outlook 2007 screenshot below: This is a very useful method of organizing information that you want available to the user all the time.  Panels can house different functionality like managing options, navigating the application or displaying important details.  You can incorporate this same functionality in your applications using the RadPanelBar.  To get started, I thought it might be nice to create a Outlook like PanelBar with a calendar inside.  My goal is not to recreate what Outlook has done, but...
