    Web testing vs. Telerik -- 0 : 1

    Hi telerik fans. Just a few words to introduce myself. My name is Konstantin Petkov and I am a QA person here, at telerik. I am new to blogging and I will try to turn this place into a resource on creating quality software along with some inside info from telerik’s kitchen. So, what am I doing here, at telerik? My main responsibility of course is finding and notifying our developers about any freshly-cooked bugs, so that the dev staff can react immediately and address those issues, leaving you, our customer, happy with all the cool features ...

    WPF/Everywhere, somewhere?... Anywhere?

    The last time I've heard something about WPF/e was at the Mix conference this year in Las Vegas. Because of all the noise around WPF, and some really good community sites which started showing up and were mostly dedicated to WPF, I almost forgot about WPF/e. Several days ago I searched about WPF/e and found a blog post by Joe Stegman who says that an external CTP is expected to be released soon. I've been waiting for quite some time to put my hands on WPF/e and see exactly what are its limitations comparing it to its big brother - WPF. I...

    ASP.NET AJAX and r.a.d.controls

    If you are wondering how to get started with ASP.NET AJAX (codenamed “Atlas”) and telerik r.a.d.controls here is a new page on the website which shows a few common scenarios:http://www.telerik.com/products/ajax/asp.net-ajax-atlas.aspx. As more and more customers start using ASP.NET AJAX in their projects we will continue to enrich the “Atlas” demos. Please, let us know how you use the new AJAX framework and what you expect from us as resources for your implementations.

    Evaluate r.a.d.controls for WinForms and go to Hawaii. Not bad?

    There's a telerik contest going on. The requirements are simple - you have to prepare a small app using our WinForms controls and fill in a survey. We've already started receiving participants' applications and I'm really amazed how quickly people get used to our controls, and especially how fast they've learned to use the Visual Style Builder application (the application which helps you create a theme and style each telerik Windows Forms UI control). We'll be offering three iPods as 3rd prizes, an Xbox 360 as the second prize, and the winner will get a fabulous 4 day trip to Hawaii! Why Hawaii? Well, there's...

    The WPF Conversion contest. Part II

    A month ago I blogged about the WPF conversion contest. The blog discussed creating a tool which converts files from some other formats (3DS, SWF, etc.) to XAML. Back then I said that my personal favorite - a tool which converts a flash file to XAML - is missing. Several days later Mike Swanson emailed me and told me that he himself is actually working on such a tool. A month later, this tool is a fact! I can't say anything else than "Great work, Mike". My personal favorite is not missing any more:) Zhivko from the telerik UX team gave me 3...

    Search Engine Optimized (SEO) grid paging

    First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to all US readers! I guess the holiday is a good occasion to announce a new feature we added to our ASP.NET grid control - Search Engine Optimized paging is finally ready. The grid will handle automatically crawlers and a special pager will be initialized in this case. The good news are the this feature can be turned on/off explicitly using PagerStyle.EnableSEOPaging and page indexes will be persisted via query strings even in multiple grids on the same page. Live example can be found @ http://betas.telerik.com/examples/seopaging/Cheers,Vlad ...

    r.a.d.controls for WinForms SP1 released

    My team released the first Service Pack for the Windows Forms UI controls several hours ago. I wouldn't be blogging about a Service Pack if it weren’t for some major improvements we made over the last few weeks. Traditionally we’ve shied away from adding new capabilities in Service Packs but rules are there to be broken and you will be seeing lots of new stuff and improvements with every SP, minor or major telerik r.a.d.controls for WinForms release. The highlight of the SP1 additions is the significantly improved design-time experience. The changes were driven by the feedback we have received from...

    HACK: debug modifications to the ASP.NET session

    Today I had some strange experience. I have been hunting a strange bug that caused something to be placed in the ASP.NET session at a time that it was not supposed to be.  My biggest problem was finding out who was putting an object in the session and what that object actually contained. I already knew that the HttpSessionState instance was being stored in the current HttpContext's Items collection (thanks to Mr. Lutz Roeder, of course), and my initial plan was to inherit from HttpSessionState and intercept the calls made to methods like Add, Remove, etc.  Alas, HttpSessionState is marked as...

    Creating Skinnable Checkboxes

    It is a widely known fact, that form controls, and especially comboboxes, checkboxes and radiobuttons are not that flexible as the other html elements and are hardly susceptible to css skinning. Here is a simple client-side solution for checkbox skinning. The tutorial is divided into four chapters, supplied with code listings, and explaining the different parts of the control – xhtml markup, css classes, javascript, checkbox states and more. In the beginning of each chapter there is a list of reference files. Before starting, you may download the script from here.1. Considering the (X)HTML Markup Reference files: • CheckBox.html Prior to the W3C recommendations for xhtml compliance, semantics,...

    r.a.d.controls for WinForms in WPF

    As most of you may already know, .NET Framework 3.0 has officially been released. Personally, I think WPF is great. I can't wait to see the final versions of Expression Interactive Designer and VS 2005 extensions for .NET 3.0. You can download it, check it, and admire its potential. Once the admiration starts fading away, you may ask yourself "now what?". You may start writing applications from scratch, you may start migrating existing WinForms applications, or you may decide to wait for the final versions of Expression Interactive Designer and Visual Studio Orcas. You may even decide to wait till Windows...
