Telerik’s “Online Store” demo based on RadControls for Silverlight 2 Beta 2
Lately, we have been preparing a sample application showing the usage of our RadControls for Silverlight 2 in a real life scenario. Finally, we are able to make this application public and let you experience the flexibility of our controls. We have just uploaded the demo at: SnowBoard Online Store You can also access the example from our RadControls for Silverlight - Overview page by clicking on the banner residing in the bottom-right corner. We tried to show all the flexibility and interoperability between our controls by combining them into a fully-functional and flashy online store for snowboards. This is the place to thank to... -

Introducing RadForm for WinForms
Hey everyone. The other day, I was responding to requests for more information on how to use the new RadForm, and I felt like we’re not being proactive enough in showcasing what our product has to offer. I’d love our customers to use our product to their maximum advantage, and I realize we have an important role to play to facilitate that. In this respect, I’d like to say a few words about one of our newest additions to the control suite – RadForm. RadForm is an alternative to the standard Windows form. It offers you all the standard form functionality... -

WPF Grids – to be or not to be
Recently both Paul Stovell and Joseph Cooney blogged about one very interesting topic - "Do people really need grid controls in WPF?". They're saying that people actually don't need grids in WPF and this is what makes their blog posts worth reading. Imagine if they had said the opposite: "People need grid controls for WPF!". It would have been quite boring and wouldn’t have spurred much of a discussion. For many people the idea of not having grids for WPF sounds unconventional but Paul made an interesting parallel to justify his claim "Using grids in WPF is like buying a Ferrari to pick up... -

The Telerik TechEd 2008 Crew is finally back!
After more than fifteen hours of flights across half of the world, I finally had a chance to get some sleep. After a few cups of coffee, I am finally catching up with e-mail and everything else that happened in the office during TechEd. It was a great week and I want to say a big “THANK YOU” to all of you who attended the Telerik booth at TechEd 2008 in Orlando. The positive feedback we got from you guys was incredible! It was great fun to see how many people were wearing .NET Ninjas and Geekettes and I was really surprised to discover that some of the attendees were wearing... -

Export and Printing RadGridView using Telerik Reporting
Hi everyone, by means of introduction my name is Martin Vassilev and I am a support officer with the Windows Forms team here at Telerik. As of late, we noticed increased interest towards RadGridView data export capabilities. What we have always told our customers is that the RadGridView will have only basic Microsoft Excel export capability, until we are able to implement a commercial grade format converter here at Telerik. However, that requires quite some time, and customers can’t wait right? What was needed was a quick, easy, stable way of exporting RadGridView content to formats such as RTF, PDF and... -

Ever needed a demo using RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX using the Q1 2008 RadControls suite?
I visited DevConnections in Orlando about a month ago. There my colleague Todd Anglin and I held a vendor session called "Developing Rich, Responsive Applications using Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX". My team had prepared a demo for the vendor session - and we have 3 major goals when we started implementing it: We wanted to keep the code to a minimum (which I think we managed quite nicely). Most of the about 200 lines of server code are related to database queries, and the client-side only uses about 40 lines of code. We wanted it to be real life and do... -

WPF Series: IFrameworkElement - the missing interface
If you are familiar with WPF you are aware that the the grand daddy of all controls is FrameworkElement. It is defined in the PresentationFramework.dll assembly and derives from UIElement (defined in PresentationCore.dll). Its purpose is to serve as a base element for all framework related stuff: styles, inheritance context, etc. However there is another framework element - FrameworkContentElement. The main distinct between them is that the later did not defines its own rendering behavior (its inheritors should do so). This is way properties like: (Actual)Width or (Actual)Height are not present at FrameworkContentElement. If you examine the classes that derive from FrameworkContentElement...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

RadGridView for WinForms unleashed
Hello everyone, my name is Kiril Matev and I'm a software developer for the Windows Forms team at Telerik. We're all pretty excited about the newly reengineered RadGridView, which is a part of our Q1 2008 release, and I’d like to highlight a couple of features you might find useful. So far, you had to always construct a data source, initialize its columns, and rows, and then bind it to the RadGridView. However, many simpler scenarios demand just adding, editing and removing rows using the API directly. This so-called unbound mode for the RadGridView has long been a must-have feature for many of our customers. We had the opportunity to provide... -

Announcing RadChart for WPF
One particularly astute reader of my previous blog post noted that we must be up to something big doing 3D controls research. Well, I am now at liberty to say that he was completely right! What he didn’t know, however, was where exactly all this research was headed. It is with a great pleasure I announce today that we have been working for some time now on a new charting component for our WPF suite. It will officially by known as RadChart for WPF. This will be a feature rich chart offering with full-fledged 2D and 3D support. As all... -

Now the Silverlight 2 Beta 2 has been officially launched and since we are strictly following the Microsoft release schedule we are super excited with our official CTP release of RadControls for Silverlight 2 Beta 2.

We managed to include some advanced controls that have their default counterparts in the new Silverlight 2 Beta 2 platform, such as TabControl and MediaPlayer. We added value...
