Join Telerik Chief Technical Evangelist Todd Anglin as he introduces you to Telerik's brand new suite of components for Microsoft's Silverlight 2.0. This is the first time the RadControls for Silverlight 2.0 have ever been shown in public, so don't miss your opportunity to be among the first to see what Telerik is doing in the Silverlight space.  Anyone considering Silverlight development in 2008 should attend this event to learn how leading .NET UI component vendor Telerik is going to make it easy to develop professional applications on this brand new framework with very little code.

The webcast will be on ...

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.

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 ...

While working on the second release for 2007, Telerik decided to surprise its clients by creating a Silverlight game.
The idea was simple. A registered user enters his or her weight and logs in. This weight contributes to the common goal which is to lift what is on the other side of the rope.
  
The game was developed using Silverlight 1.1 Alpha Refresh.
We had couple of concerns while developing it, though. First of all we did not know how many people have already installed the 1.1 plug-in. Also we were not sure if the current game ...

NOTE: From the very beginning I would like to state that this custom solution is temporary and will most probably change with the next release of Silverlight Plug-In.
There is no straightforward approach to changing the Silverlight Download logo.

However, a workaround exists.

1) Download the modified TelerikSilverlight.js and add it to your project



2) Within the Default.aspx of your project, reference TelerikSilverlight.js 

<script type="text/javascript" src="TelerikSilverlight.js"></script>

3) Create a javascript function right bellow the previous line of code

<script type="text/javascript">
    function GetInstallHtml ()
    {
        var imgUrl = "http://www.telerik.com/images/editor/OverviewImages/SilverlightLogo.gif";
        var myInstallHtml = 'This is my custom text<br/>' + 
                                        '<div ...

Just hours after Microsoft announced the availability of the final version of Silverlight 1.0 (http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/09/04/silverlight-1-0-released-and-silverlight-for-linux-announced.aspx), Telerik made RadControls for Microsoft Silverlight officially available.

Being the first vendor to offer third-party UI controls for Silverlight, Telerik is dedicated to closely follow the release schedule of Microsoft and roll-out its tools immediately after the respective updates/releases of the Silverlight framework.

Telerik RadControls for Microsoft Silverlight are a new generation of UI controls for building Rich Interactive Applications based on Microsoft Silverlight 1.0. The product introduces the notion of control-based development, which is originally missing in the framework, and requires no ...

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".

Silverlight 1.0 RC is out, and so is the refresh of the Telerik Silverlight suite.


We have been working hard the past week to implement the compatibility changes between the 1.0beta and 1.0RC plugin. Check out our Silverlight demos online and let us know if you encounter any problems. The refreshed suite is also available for free download in your accounts.

 

Before we step to the actual integration, there are few requirements that need to be met.

• Download and install RadControls for Silverlight
• Download and install Microsoft Expression Media Encoder
• Download and unzip TelerikThemePackage.zip (The archive contains 3 files - Default.html, player.xaml and preview.jpg)

I assume that you have successfully completed the above three tasks.

1. Go to where you have installed Microsoft Expression Media Encoder. Then navigate to the Templates folder. Usually this is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Expression\Media Encoder 1.0\Templates\en\



2. Create a copy of any of the folders (E.g. "Pilot") and rename it to Telerik



3. Replace Default.html, player.xaml...
