The Minesweeper Game Done in Silverlight 1.1
Silverlight is a Blast! And instead of trying to convince you, we present you a well-known game in its silverlit clothes. The minesweeper! It adds to other games that in the past several weeks have shown the ease with which you can use Silverlight to create online interaction and games. It uses no fancy frameworks but underlines the simplicity and straightforwardness of Silverlight development. The number of mines and the rows/columns are configurable. To mark a mine - instead to click with the right mouse button, click with the left mouse button while holding the CTRL or SHIFT key.

ClickOnce and the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit
Some time ago a client of ours asked us whether he can use the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit with ClickOnce. Although we have a KB article on how to deploy the WinForms suite with ClickOnce, we do not have explicit instructions on doing this with the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit. So, here they are. Applications built with CAB have always caused problems when it is time to deploy them with ClickOnce. Applications built with the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit or (TCEK for short) are no different. Why this is considered such a painful task? Well, to most extent because CAB... -

How precise automated tests catch totally unexpected bugs
You may remember my post where I mentioned the technique I like regarding writing precise Selenium tests. I believe the good test has double value if it doesn’t verify just the case it is written for, but even catches totally unexpected bugs. How does such test look like? Several days ago our Web Grid developers were working on resolving a weird bug in the control. As soon as the new build was ready, I started Selenium tests execution to verify that everything with the build is OK. Some of the tests failed, though, throwing an error that a specified element ...November 05, 2007 2 min read -

Setting appearance using Themes
RadControls "Prometheus" can be easily configured to use ASP.Net 2.0 Themes the same way you would do for the ordinary ASP.Net controls. A chosen theme can be shared among multiple controls and pages and thus make group re-configuration extremely easy. You can see the following video which demonstrates how to configure RadEditor, RadWindow and RadCalendar "Prometheus" controls to use the WebBlue skin from a Theme: Setting Appearance Using Themes.ReleaseNew online resources for the past three weeks (09/24/2007 - 10/14/2007)

Although many of you are probably familiar with this project from the code library section on our site, I thought it is worth the effort to demonstrate once again in public how easily (with literally zero lines of code) you can configure RadGrid to perform automatic data-editing operations and refresh the data in the database directly. The video I have prepared for this purpose is available in this section on our site, below is the direct link: http://www.telerik.com/ClientsFiles/product.videos/32/ On a side note, for Martin and all the others who had problems with the screen size of the Excel-like filtering video posted before, I am pleased to...WebShortcut on Silverlight 1.1
Here at Telerik we are constantly working with the new cutting edge technologies. As Silverlight 1.1 alpha hit the road we were keen to research all the new things we can do with this new technology ... But there was one little problem - the lack of help and documentation. Our experience with WPF help us a lot to get into the new technology, but Silverlight is a new platform and it has its differences from WPF. So when we were contacted by the O'Reilly to write a book for Silverlight 1.1 we decided that this will be a very good opportunity...October 17, 2007 2 min readReleaseNew online resources for the past two weeks (09/10/2007 - 09/23/2007)
