Many days passed since my last post (which is rather interesting and concerns the MS Surface technologies) but now I have the opportunity to justify why: Beta release of RadControls for WinForms Q2 2007 was on the way!
We introduced only one new component – the RadCalendar for WinForms, but please do not underestimate the release: all our components contain very serious improvements like RTL language support, hierarchy support, documentation, etc. Let me draw some aces on the table: Major redesign of our QuickStart Framework: Yes, it is more beautiful and has greater usability than ever! It has been completely redesigned to offer...
Hi everyone,
Let me take the opportunity to introduce myself to the Telerik community - my name is Boyko Markov and I’m a lead developer for the RadCalendar WinForms component that will be officially introduced in our Q2 release.
I will do my best to post interesting ideas and helpful information on RadCalendar and few other controls, including the upcoming RadDateTimePicker control. Telerik RadCalendar for Windows Forms. The newest addition to the RadControls for WinForms suite is Telerik RadCalendar for WinForms – a control we kept in secret up until now. We decided to keep it a secret not only to surprise you...
I am pleased to announce that I am starting a new web development-oriented blog. I have been honored (Thanks, Joe!) to blog on weblogs.asp.net and I think that, after several years of active development on our ASP.NET control suite, I have something to say about web development.
What will happen with this blog? Don't worry, I will keep posting interesting stuff here too. I am just trying to separate the general ASP.NET content from control development and Telerik-related news and announcements. What is the best way to stay on top of everything happening in my world? Go ahead and click the RSS...

For months now we have been talking about the new RadEditor being built in the "Prometheus" suite and how it is going to be the best version of RadEditor to date. Today an early preview of that work was released in the "Prometheus" Futures build and made available for general testing in the Telerik community. Obviously, the version that was released today looks a lot different from the final version that will be released- dialogues are still rough, features are unpolished, and some features are missing- but it is still a great look at what's coming. Today I ran the RadEditor Futures release build through...
Have you ever thought about processing credit cards in your .NET application? If you have, then you know one of the first things you need to do is find some code to validate that credit card numbers entered by your users appear correct before you send them along to your payment processor. Having created applications in the past that process credit cards, I know that this task can be surprisingly harder than it should be. There are plenty of code snippets scattered across the 'Nets that show you how to do individual parts of the validating process, but there are few...
It recently came to my attention that there is no good documentation on the Telerik website showing you how to create a RadRotator (with a defined template) programmatically. There is some documentation out there showing you how to programmatically data bind a RadTicker, and the RadControls Learning Guide has some good guidance, but nothing exists online for easy Rotator reference. Let's solve that problem and take a quick look at how you can programmatically create your RadRotator and template. Step 1: Define your template. Defining a template for RadRotator in code is very similar to the process involved in programmatically creating a template...
Below is a summary of the new online resources available for our ASP.NET controls:RadGrid Code library entries: WebMail grids in Outlook style:http://www.telerik.com/community/code-library/submission/b311D-heekd.aspx Show/hide grouped columns on group/ungroup action:http://www.telerik.com/community/code-library/submission/b311D-hkbdt.aspx
Microsoft has just released a new search service, called Tafiti. From the very beginning should be clarified that Tafiti is more of an example of what Silverlight is capable of rather than a real search engine product. It is based on the 1.0 RC plug-in of Silverlight and uses the Live Search API, which means that you will get the same results as if you search in MSN or Live.Tafiti is rich, interactive and provides the user with some very nice features which the ordinary searches lack. As it name implies, Tafiti in Swahili means "do research".ShelfThe shelf is a space on the screen where you...
