Manage Your Dev Space with Virtual PC 2007
I don't know about you, but sometimes I feel behind the times. Often when I learn something new it seems to me like it's something I should already know. Today was definitely one of those days. I've played with Microsoft's Virtual Server and Virtual PC products in the past, but never gave them more than a cursory look just to see what they hype is all about; I never personally saw a need to start using them. Well, my eyes have finally been opened. I remembered reading one of Scott Hanselman's blog posts in which he described using Virtual Machines (VM) for presentations, turning...May 27, 2021 4 min read -

Design your RadCarousel with just drag & drop in Q2
While we are currently polishing the new RadCarousel features, I thought that some of them look pretty exciting and you may be anxious to have a sneak peek. A great new feature of RadCarousel that saved tons of time is the ability to define an ellipse or a bezier path for animating carousel items by just dragging the carousel path points around in the designer. The new carousel designer does not only display a preview of the path items follow, but also allows you to grab a point from the path and drag it around in your Form designer. Imagine how... -

Formatting RadChart Labels
Hi everyone, My name is Vesselin Georgiev and I am a technical consultant here at Telerik. This is my first blog post and it is dedicated to labels in RadChart. By default RadChart will display the value corresponding to the bar (point, slice) as a label. But RadChart allows you to control the label content. This is possible thanks to the DefaultLabelValue property, which has been around for quite some time now. You can use several “special words” in this property -- "#Y", "#X", “#%”, “#SUM”, “#STSUM”, “#SERIES”, “#ITEM”. They are all listed in the dedicated help topic . This is all good, but...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

Opera 9.5 - Love at First Sight
The new Opera 9.5, released about a week ago, quite easily established itself as my default "home" browser. It is sooooo much faster than Firefox and Internet Explorer, especially when it comes to heavy web applications such as Gmail and Facebook (and doesn't hang either). And what's more, the Opera guys finally made the Alt + D keyboard shortcut focus the address bar as is in the other two browsers (stretching out to reach F8 was rather inconvenient. Happiness is in the small things, you know... :-) ). Opera 9.5 also includes DragonFly, which is the more powerful successor of the browser's... -

Uploading Multiple Files with RadUpload
Hello Everyone, my name is Rosi and I am a developer on the ASP.NET navigation controls team. This is my first blog post and I will be talking about the RadUpload component. Many customers have asked how to upload multiple files with it. Unfortunately RadUpload does not yet support this functionality out of the box, but I will show you how to work-around this limitation. The trick is uploading one .zip file and extracting it on the server. To achieve this we will need a little help from a third party library. Such libraries are DotNetZip and SharpZipLib which provide a convenient API to manipulate .zip files. For the purposes of this blog post... -

WPF Data Binding: Unraveling data templates
Data binding in WPF in general and particularly working with data templates tends to be quite tricky some times. Here I'll present you some more advanced tips for dealing with data templates. To start with, I want to refer to an article I read a while ago. It is about the basics of data templates and I want to use it as a starting point and a foundation to build on. If you are just starting to work with WPF or you have never met with data templates, please read it first to get acquainted with the idea. I'll use ItemsControl for...May 27, 2021 10 min read -

Firefox 3
Today is D-Day ("Download Day") for the much-anticipated version 3 of Mozilla's popular web browsing client, Firefox. In an effort to create more buzz around the launch, Mozilla has requested that users help them attempt a new Guinness World Record for most downloads in a 24-hour period by downloading the new Firefox release today. Over 1.7 million people from around the world pledged to download the new client today. As an aside, I think its pretty cool that they are trying to get in the Guinness record books, but is it really a record if it's never been done before? I...May 27, 2021 3 min read
