    RadDock for WinForms in Q1 2009 and beyond

    A couple of months back we posted the Q1 2009 WinForms Roadmap and gave you a brief overview of what the new version of RadDock (or should I say RadDockingManager) will offer. I know that some of you have been waiting for it for some time now, so I decided to give you a detailed overview of what to expect. In next week’s Q1 2009 you will find improved memory disposal, and numerous bug fixes. Although memory management has been given a nice upgrade, the rest is not too exciting, because we will release the same old RadDockingManager, with a facelift. The exciting...

    Meet Telerik.Web.Design.dll

    This blog post has been updated !!! If you tried our Q1 2009 Beta you have probably noticed that there is a brand new assembly installed in your GAC - Telerik.Web.Design.dll. We decided to separate the design-time code from the web control implementation code. The reasons are many - better separation of concerns, less assembly references for the main assembly (Telerik.Web.UI.dll). We now have the freedom to extend the design time capabilities of RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax without bloating the main control assembly. Why didn't we make it that way from the beginning? The only reason is that Visual Studio 2008...

    RadChart for Silverlight

    Mid March is coming and there are a lot of good news for our Silverlight controls to be shared with all of you – the 2009 Q1 release is near. Along with the official version of RadGridView, RadDocking, RadEditor CTP and a bunch of new features and improvements, RadChart for Silverlight is also coming into play. With the 2009 Q1 release we'll introduce 2D charts for Silverlight that share the same appearance and behavior as their counterparts in WPF.

    Telerik Reporting Gets Closer to Becoming a True Business Intelligence (BI) Solution

    Q1 2009 will be a milestone release for Telerik’s .NET Reporting tool as it introduces a new instrument for data analysis - cross tabs. Cross tabs display data in a matrix format, and are used to present and analyze the relationship between two or more variables. Cross tabulation is a great BI tool, because it provides decision makers with a data format which is easy to understand, and more importantly - easy to analyze. The Telerik Reporting Cross Tab item will offer design-time support in Visual Studio, not seen in a reporting product in this price bracket. It will be intuitive and...

In this post I’ll show you how to set up a report that allows users to enter parameter values through the UI of the Report Viewer.
