Ready for Vista?
I just tried the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor and found out that I'll need to upgrade my graphics adapter in order to enjoy the Windows® Aero™ user interface. The advices which this tool gives are a little bit questionable but you may still find them useful. At least now I have an incentive to upgrade my computer...by Hristo KosevJune 15, 2006 -

telerik skins survey
I’ve been having this nightmare recently that we’re off track with what customers are looking for in terms of interface design, and I guess the best way to find out how we’re doing is to ask you guys. So I’ve set up a short online survey for all willing to help us feel where the industry is heading and provide feedback for what they need. Your feedback so far is truly encouraging and will be instrumental in crafting our future plans for skin development, interface design and visual presentation of all telerik components. I would strongly encourage all of you...June 08, 2006 -

Telerik Winforms. Unveiled.
As some people may already know, we will be releasing a Windows Forms UI suite in Q3 2006. Apart from the semi-official announcement and the magazine ads, we haven't gone into much detail what's so special about our upcoming products. I'll try to explain the benefits of our WinForms controls in details in several blog posts. As an introduction, I'd like to mention the key points which the marketing guys found attractive and which formed the marketing message of the winforms suite. I thought you might want to know some of the technical details behind the marketing message: Unique architecture which follows...by Hristo KosevJune 07, 2006 -
Desktop WPF
WPF in action - part 1: Designer's look on WPF
I am yet to grasp the marketing behind Microsoft naming conventions - usually a beta program would jump start with a great name, the official launch would kill it in a dull title, and things would finally settle down with an abbreviation that is actually pronounceable. Naming conventions aside, the upcoming Windows Presentation Framework (WPF), formerly known as Avalon, holds promise to become the next buzzword of the industry - even if someone adds to it another sentence before the official roll-out with Windows Vista in early 2007.From a designer's point of view, the next-generation interface for Windows is all...May 29, 2006 -

The end of Mini-Microsoft?
It's really sad that Mini-Microsoft is going to stop blogging:http://minimsft.blogspot.com/2006/05/all-good-things.htmlHis/her blog and the user comments were, at least for me, really inspirational and have given me food for thought on numerous topics - from team reviews, to team organization and delivery of software. It was also a great way to understand what's happening behind the scenes at Microsoft. Knowing part of the problems that plague the Redmond colossus helped me understand how and why Microsoft does things in a certain way. Mini vNext, where art thou? We need...May 29, 2006 -

Fiddler and IE7
Do you use Fiddler to inspect the HTTP traffic? You may be faced with the following problem: since we started using the beta of the IE7 browser we started experiencing problems when monitoring the requests sent to http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 - the requests were not reported by the Fiddler tool. It took us some time to understand what was the exact reason for this until we found the workaround for this issue here: http://www.fiddlertool.com/Fiddler/help/hookup.asp --- quote --- Why don't I see IE7 or System.NET traffic sent to http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1? IE7 and the .NET Framework are hardcoded not to send requests for Localhost through any proxies,...May 16, 2006 -

This summer... Reporting and Windows Forms from telerik
The June issue of MSDN is out earlier than planned and this gives me freedom to blog about some very important developments in the telerik product offering. If you are an MSDN subscriber and you do not completely disregard the product ads, you might have noticed that "telerik is growing" and our ASP.NET product line will be soon complemented by a set of Windows Forms components and a Reporting tool. If you are interested in getting more information and seeing a preview of the Telerik Reporting and Windows Forms product lines, please stop by booth 819 at TechEd USA to meet with our...May 11, 2006 -

Web ASP.NET AJAX
Third-party controls and support for Atlas
So much to blog about and so little time... It has been almost a couple of months since my last blog post and there were quite a few things to comment - new initiatives, interesting updates, participation in events, etc. For some reason I felt guilty for having so much to say and not blogging about it and I was looking for "THE blog post" to get back into the game:)Luckily for me, and for all telerik customers, the dev team came up with some pretty exciting news - with a great sense of pride we are happy to announce the first major third-party component suite...May 03, 2006 -

IE Memory Leak Best Practices with AJAX in Mind
Am I getting obsessed with memory leaks? Give me a non-leaking browser and I'll cut it out .Yesterday I was hunting for a hard-to-find memory leak with r.a.d.treeview. Our component cleans up its DOM element references and DOM event handlers when it is being destroyed. Control destruction and resource disposal occurs on two occasions: when the page unloads and when the control is updated by an AJAX call (r.a.d.callback, Atlas, etc -- the mechanism is framework-agnostic). Now the treeview, being a good citizen, follows the leak prevention pattern of keeping references to DOM elements to a minimum. Most of the...April 28, 2006
