Client-Side Data Binding in the RadGrid
Over the past several weeks I started a new video series, called RadTips, which demonstrates how to use specific features of Telerik controls. The first four episodes of the series was dedicated to the new client-side data binding feature of the RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX. This feature is only available with the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q2 2008, our latest release of the control suite. Each episode showed how to implement a specific RadGrid feature when binding to data on the client. If you haven't had a chance to watch them, I highly recommend taking a few minutes to check... -

Could a WinForms app get any slicker?

RadTips, Episode 4: Client-Side Filtering in the RadGrid
I am pleased to bring you another exciting episode of RadTips. In this episode, I show how to enable filtering when using the new client-side data binding feature of the RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX (Q2 2008). But what's cool about this (and past) episodes is that it includes some other fun ASP.NET goodies. For instance, instead of binding to data from SQL Server, I use LINQ to XML to bind to data from an XML file. In this episode I also take advantage of LINQ's Dynamic Query Library to create a more dynamic LINQ query to filter data with. So be... -

WPF: Read-only Dependency Properties
Yup, awkward creatures but they do exist! :) To be honest I came across these only recently and decided to share this (potentially) valuable information as well -- you cannot use it if you do not know it's there. Why do we need read-only dependency properties? There is a certain brand of dependency properties within the WPF framework that are used primarily for state determination. Often multiple conditions affect certain control state thus calculating and setting the state value directly is not feasible and generally leads to unpredictable and inconsistent results. Here is an example -- the UIElement.IsMouseOver dependency property (a common property...May 27, 2021 3 min read -

Visual Studio Macros for Dummies
If you are doing serious software development you probably have automated builds (via TeamBuild or some other tool) which build all the build configurations you have, run all your unit tests, run code analysis rules, run source analysis rules and more. While writing code you probably want to have all those extra tools and checks turned off because they will drag your productivity down. When you are about to check-in, however, you will need to make sure your solution builds without errors in different build configurations as well as run all tests to make sure you are not about to... -

RadAjaxPanel Demystified
Often I can look at one of our RadControls and know right away why using it offers a greater benefit than one of the built-in ASP.NET controls. The RadAjaxPanel is no different, but often I hear of confusion from developers as to the benefit of using this control over the built-in UpdatePanel. Well, it certainly offers the same kind of functionality as an UpdatePanel, but there's more available to you if you dig a little deeper. Basic Ajax Functionality For starters, it's important to understand how the RadAjaxPanel is meant to be used. The typical use-case scenario is when a developer has a... -

The Trickiest Tips in RadControls for ASP.NET (AJAX) Tests Automation
Do you wonder if there are any keys to get easy test automation over the RadControls components? I’ve seen people asking about how to get a simple (at a first glance) task done through this or that test automation tool and we generally find the specific resolution with the exact tool in use. However, in most cases the things are quite similar no matter which tool you prefer. Instead of posting particular solutions though, with this post I’m sharing some of the trickiest moments one may came across while working on tests automation of RadControls for ASP.NET (AJAX) and the ...May 27, 2021 4 min read -

RadRotator for ASP.NET AJAX: Using dynamic templates
My colleague Todd Anglin has already written a post about how to create a rotator control dynamically - you can read it here - How to Create RadRotator Programmatically. Unfortunately, this code in that post is for the old RadRotator control and if you try to use it in the new ASP.NET AJAX version, you will notice that it will not compile. Fortunately, you can quickly fix that. Here is what you need to change: FrameTemplate - this property has been replaced with ItemTemplate RadRotatorFrame - this object has been replaced with RadRotatorItem After you update the above names, you should be able... -
