Editing Telerik's Silverlight Controls in Expression Blend
Along with the release of Telerik RadControls for Silverlight Beta 2, we also released a "blendable" Silverlight project. What I mean under "blendable" is that when this project is opened in Expression Blend, it allows you an easy and straightforward approach to editing the style of every control in out suite. To begin with, go to your Client.net account and download Telerik.Windows.Controls.Blend. Unzip the project anywhere and open the Telerik.Windows.Controls.Blend.sln files using Expression Blend. If you explore the Project tab, you will find that each control is represented by a separate XAML file. Open, for example, the Expander.xaml file. You will see that there... -

Visual Studio Tip: Using Code Snippets
A few weeks ago I blogged about creating your own reusable templates for Visual Studio. One of my favorite things about Visual Studio is that it offers a lot of great ways for developers to improve the development experience (and productivity) by adding many extensibility points in the IDE. Now developers have the option of adding on to existing features of Visual Studio with templates and macros, or integrating completely unique features directly into the IDE with add-ins. One of these extensibility features, snippets, adds a ton of value to developer productivity and is incredibly easy to use. Snippets are small, parameterized...May 27, 2021 3 min read -

What is lacking in your WinForms app?
Today we had to help a customer of ours, who was building a nice looking and very professional LOB application. He was looking for a control that would display the status of a process that he could incorporate in his app. The reply was simple, although not so obvious - RadStatusStrip. The status strip is a good example of a very simple piece of UI that does not seems to be of a high importance, but if we take a closer look at the so called LOB apps, we’ll see that it is irreplaceable part of them. A nice-looking and... -

RadChart for WPF - Redesigned
Some time ago when we announced our WPF charting effort a we received some feedback about the design of the control. At such an early stage of the control's development we were more interested in presenting the technical merits of the component rather than flashing some eye candy to please our customers. Well, development is moving on smoothly and now is the time to finally show some eye candy - and boy, don't I just love eye candy! :) The saying goes that a picture is worth a thousand words so I'm posting some preliminary designs for the "Ice" theme our designers... -

RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax and Microsoft Expression Web
This blog post is part of my research on whether the RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax support Microsoft Expression Web? The answer is simple – yes, they do. If you only follow the instructions on how to use custom controls in Expression Web, you will see the result yourself. The main point here is having the Telerik.Web.UI assembly in the GAC and register it with its fully qualified name on the page. Here are some screenshots: Design-time: Run-time:May 27, 2021 1 min read -

Google Chrome - The browser in a Pokémon ball
Well, someone finally did it! They've put a web browser in a pokémon ball! The Internet is awash with blogs posts about Google chrome which just a few hours ago became available for download. I'm not going to just repeat whatever is in the Google chrome comic book. If you haven't seen it go do it now. I am, however, going to tell you just how happy this new browser makes me. And no, it is not the warm colors or the pokemon ball thing :) Google Chrome is just a great browser. It is very very fast, includes a slick minimalistic UI,... -

New "Online Help" is now available for RadControls for Silverlight Beta2
I am really excited to announce the newly updated Documentation page about RadControls for Silverlight. Currently, you can directly open and browse the newly added Online Help or download the latest CHM file containing the same topics. We will be surely enhancing the content of the help files so that the users could find there most of the answers they are looking for. Our goal is to provide a wide range of topics - from simple "how-to" articles to advanced and complicated topics about our controls for Silverlight.Desktop WinFormsEmulating Paging with RadGridView for WinForms and LINQ with 1 million records
Our customers who use the Telerik ASP.NET line of controls are used to having paging in their grids. This approach, however, is seldom used for WinForms applications, although there are cases when paging in WinForms grids is needed as well, especially when there are million records in the database (literally). You may have seen the blog post by Vladimir Enchev about implementing paging with RadGridView for WPF (if you have not, this is the right time to do so :)). A couple of days ago Mr. Enchev came by and said "You know guys, you could do the same thing with your WinForms...
