Telerik is Live from PDC
PDC is in full force at the LA Convention Center. The keynote was somewhat bland, but the big news of the day is Windows Azure. Microsoft's cloud services offering, Azure promises to allow developers to host and manage their applications in the cloud, scaling storage and computing resources on demand without concern for the infrastructure that will support them. With Azure, developers will be have access to the entire spectrum of Microsoft LOB development technologies (SQL Services, Sharepoint Services, .NET Services, etc) in the cloud. Attendees of PDC will get early access to an Azure CTP, so keep an eye...May 27, 2021 1 min read -

Styling Telerik Controls
I thought it might be interesting to do a quick rundown of the Visual Style Builder. This tool comes with your Telerik WinForms control suite and provides a quick and easy way to change the look of a control. The Visual Style Builder is located under the Telerik directory in your Start menu. It allows you to modify a variety of settings for a given control to build your own themes. For example, if you select the RadButton control under the File | LoadControl menu, you will see it displayed center screen. As you move your mouse cursor over the control...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

Introducing grid client-side editing support with Q3 2008
With our upcoming version of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX (early November) you will be able to bind our grid even if the grid is in edit mode. RadGrid will locate automatically all built-in column editors (GridNumericColumn, GridDropDownColumn, GridDateTimeColumn, etc.) and you can get old/new values directly from the grid client-side API. You can use client-side editing completely codeless with templates as well. The requirement here is to set ID for the control to be equal to desired data field. Example: <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="CompanyName"> <EditItemTemplate> <telerik:RadTextBox ID="CompanyName" runat="server" /> </EditItemTemplate> </telerik:GridTemplateColumn> We have introduced also three new client-side methods for GridTableView to get new... -

.NET Gets a Facelift
No, Microsoft hasn't announced any special changes to the framework. Instead, one of the first news items out of PDC (before the conference has even started, no less) is that they'll be changing the .NET branding.May 27, 2021 1 min read -

Booths to visit if you'll be at PDC2008 and if you're inspired by the future
Ok, Todd and Kevin already blogged about our presence at PDC this year and I'll second them. We have so many things to show that it's a petty PDC is only 4 days long, we'll need at least 2 weeks to show everything. Of course we have to show mercy to all the Telerik guys who will be nonstop at the Telerik booth so 4 days should be enough :) Todd and Kevin already mentioned all the products, new features and releases we're about to demo at our booth. We'll also demo 2 "secret" projects which will show you the combined power of WPF and the new ways... -

Host Telerik’s WPF Gauges and Charts in RadGridView for WinForms
Did you have a chance to try the beta versions of Telerik’s WPF gauges and charts ? Yes? And you like them, but already have a big and complex WinForms project and you have no plans to upgrade it to the new amazing WPF technology soon? Do not worry; you can get the best of both worlds and use the WPF goodies in your WinForms application thanks to the ElementHost control that resides in the namespace System.Windows.Forms.Integration. You could find more info on this topic in the following MSDN article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms745781.aspx Following this concept, I have prepared a WinForms application with Telerik’s WPF... -

Display data hierarchy in the RadGridView
Sometimes it can be valuable to display hierarchy data in a grid. It can allow users to quickly drill down into the data at the click of a button. Below you will see a sample database with just three tables. Notice that this is very elementary example, but it works well to demonstrate how easy it is to leverage hierarchy within the RadGridView control. I am using LINQToSQL to pull the data from the database. Below you will see the classes created after I did a drag and drop of the tables using Server Explorer in Visual Studio 2008. Now I can... -
Web ASP.NET AJAX
Using Regular Expression TextBox
I've already blogged about the new RadInputManager control in the Beta of Q3 2008 for RadControls ASP.NET AJAX. One of the other very useful features that you can now take advantage of in the RadInputManager is its RegExpTextBox setting. Regular expressions are a good way to validate text fields such as names, addresses, phone numbers, and other user information. You can use it to constrain input, apply formatting rules, and check lengths. If you capture input by using TextBox controls, you can use the RegExpTextBoxSetting settings to validate that input - for example to restrict the range of valid characters, to strip... -

Custom Toolbar for the Web ReportViewer
Our insatiable commitment to deliver more than expected in every aspect of our products resulted in me being curious, if we are as flexible as we think and whether one can always achieve his goal be it out of the box or with custom solution using our API and other controls if necessary. Hmmm what could that custom solution be – how about a custom Toolbar for our web ReportViewer. For those of you, who are unfamiliar with our Web ReportViewer , here is a short description – it is designed to render Telerik Reports within ASP.NET projects and it has a toolbar that...
