    Full-featured RadEditor for MOSS 5.0

    Our RadEditor for MOSS product has reached version 5.0. There are some major changes that you should know before you upgrade from version 4.x. First and most important is that the 5.0 version uses RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX. The new editor offers many improvements over the previous RadEditor for ASP.NET, too many to list here. Check the product page for more details. This is a major upgrade and it means that you will need to have the WSS v3/MOSS 2007 Service Pack 1 and ASP.NET AJAX installed in your web farm.   The second important change is in the RadEditor features. There are still two features...

    The Excellence of RadMaskedEditBox

    A lot of time passed since my last post , and lot of things have changed and were added to our unique RadControls for WinForms offer. Today, I'd like to direct the spotlight at RadMaskedEditBox for WinForms, which offers some pretty impressive functionality you will find useful in your applications. While using a text box control for text input and editing is quite familiar, such a component has simplified user interface and poor feature set. However because of the popularity we  implemented the RadTextBox component. When we finished this control, there were voices from the community that said: “Hey we want a text box...

    I'm back online - Another blog to follow

    Hello all! It has been quite a while since I last posted on the official Telerik Blogs. The reasons and excuses range from technical problems to unbelievable busyness, but I won't bore you with them here. What is important is that I've restored my connectivity to the Telerik Blogs and I fully intend to begin making regular updates here in the future. If you purged this blog from your feed readers in my absence, be sure to re-add it so you won't miss a thing. In the mean time, while I haven't been active on these blogs, I haven't been absent from the...

    How to select RadComboBox item with WatiN

    Firstly let me introduce myself. My name is Elena Tosheva and I’m a QA officer here at Telerik. I have been working here since the end of 2004 year, but it is the first time I’m blogging. I’m responsible for testing ASP.NET team 3 controls (RadComboBox, RadPanelBar, RadTabStrip, RadTreeView, RadMenu, RadToolBar and RadScheduler).   As you may already know , we use Selenium for integration testing together with the NUnit and JsUnit tests. Selenium is the best tool which fits our needs for the present. Here is a blog post provided by Falafel how to select RadComboBox item with Selenium....

    Using Commands with RadTreeView for WinForms

    Cool top secret features fascinate me. Remember the hidden “Easter eggs” game in Excel 2002 (http://www.j-walk.com/ss/excel/eastereg.htm)? Don’t you love it when developers pull something up from their sleeve, which is so cool, people just brag about it for years? Truth to be told, we have a secret feature in RadTreeView for WinForms as well. It may be not as cool as the “Easter eggs” Excel game, but is something I wanted to share with you for some time now. I like this one, because it is our small secret weapon in the war for dominating the world of software features. RadTreeView has...

    SQL Server sorting, paging and filtering with RadGrid client-side data-binding to WebService

    It is time to post new version of my 1 mil. records demo now with pure SQL Server paging, filtering & sorting. Basically this is very similar to how RadGrid will execute queries internally when you work with LinqDataSource, ObjectDataSource or ANY other DataSourceControl with built-in server paging. Furthermore, RadGrid is smart enough to not request all items in your collection by default if not needed even when you use direct binding via DataSource property. It is important to note that RadGrid will not oblige you to use any special DataSourceControl, class or interface! Conclusion: When you combine pure server-side data operations with pure JSON transfer between client and server, you can...

    WPF Series: Creating Generic Adorner

    As I have mentioned at the end of the previous post today I will show you how to create a generic adorner, which will allow you to decorate a single element  multiple times at different positions. At the end we will be able to create something that looks like this: To achieve this we will need a way to say that we want to position the adorner at the different corners of the element as well as to specify whether we want to be inside or outside (vertically or horizontally) of the element. Let's create some enumeration types that will serve for...
