• Emulating Paging with RadGridView for WinForms and LINQ with 1 million records

    Our customers who use the Telerik ASP.NET line of controls are used to having paging in their grids. This approach, however, is seldom used for WinForms applications, although there are cases when paging in WinForms grids is needed as well, especially when there are million records in the database (literally).

    You may have seen the blog post by Vladimir Enchev about implementing paging with RadCridView for WPF (if you have not, this is the right time to do so :)). A couple of days ago Mr. Enchev came by and said "You know guys, you could do the same thing ...

  • 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?

The feedback was not grand, but it was enough to tell us that it is time to release TCEK to the public.

    The beta came with an example application which mimicked the famous WPF Woodgrove Finance Application. For our ...
  • 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 ...
