    Items drag and drop for RadGrid

    In the eve of the official release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX suite (formerly known as Prometheus) I have decided to present you with a new feature of the RadGrid control. Besides of .Net 3.5 data binding optimizations, calculated columns and more other new enhancements, in the latest version of the control you can now find built-in support for items drag and drop. Through both the client and server -side events you can precisely handle dragging and dropping to same or other RadGrid instances as to other html elements.

    RadControls and ASP.NET Dynamic Data - Part Deux

    UPDATE: You can download the latest Dynamic Data bits from here. It seems that I've managed to mess things up in my previous blog post. The sample web site and user controls work but ... they are using the December CTP release of ASP.NET Dynamic Data! Kudos to Scott Hunter for spotting the problem. It seems that albeit I installed the latest Dynamic Data bits I forgot to uninstall the December CTP and Visual Studio 2008 was still using the old Web Site template. Be careful when installing the new bits - uninstall any previous releases first! The sample web site and...

    WPF Series: Adorners, Commands and Logical Tree

    Today I'm going to tell you a WPF story. But before I start to dig deeper let me first introduce you the main characters in this post. Here they are: Adorner - adorners are simple UIElement decorators. Suppose that you have a RichTextBox and you want to place a comment box over it, so that users can comment on the text in the box. This can be archived with adorners. Actually the WPF framework uses adorners internally for exactly the same purpose when you edit and annotate FlowDocument in a DocumentViewer. This is the reason why adorners are in System.Windows.Documents namespace. Command - commands are UI...

    RadChart: Auto Text-wrapping

    Hello, With the Q1 2008 release date closing-in fast, I'd like to present to you yet another big improvement that will be introduced in the new version of RadChart -- automatic text-wrapping support. So what's it all about?  RadChart introduces automatic Notepad-like word-wrapping functionality for the following text elements: Chart Title Chart Legend Item Labels Axis Item Labels Axis Labels MarkedZone Labels EmptySeriesMessage Label DataTable-related text elements Automatic text-wrapping will be disabled by default but the chart control provides fine-grained API that allows you to enable wrapping for all elements, or alternatively on individual element basis. Here are a few screenshots that demonstrate the rich customization options provided for text-wrapping (also this is a sneak preview of some...

    UIElement3D Tips and Tricks

    It has been a while since I last blogged and after changing teams in the company I decided that it’s time to brush the dust off my blog.  So far the move from the ASP.NET world to WPF has been both challenging and enlightening at the same time. There are many new programming concepts going on in WPF and I will try to keep a series of blog posts which will reveal my experiences and thoughts from the viewpoint of an ex-ASP.NET developer diving into the brave new world of WPF.     These days I am dealing with a lot of...

    Web components styling tests automation, cross-browser solution

    It’s been quite some time since my last post concerning the RadControls automation tests developed with Selenium. We still have a lot to share about our Selenium adventure, which could help those, interested in similar solutions. First of all, I believe you are unable to completely verify the visual appearance of your Web application via automated tests. There is no way you can skip the manual check if the app “looks” good and has no visual glitches anywhere. Still, the client-side styling tests automation can be considered to be the first step for the necessary web page appearance verification. I ...
