By default the RadControls installer adds the Telerik.Charting assembly to the GAC on the machine where the package is installed, as the Telerik.Charting assembly is used by more than one package - RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX and RadControls for Winforms. So, let's consider an example -- create a new web site and use at least one control from the suite. When you drag a control from the toolbox Visual Studio will automatically copy Telerik.Web.UI.dll to site's Bin folder. Telerik.Web.UI assembly refers to Telerik.Charting assembly. But as long as Telerik.Charting is in the GAC it will not be copied to the...

Today I saw this blog post and I couldn't resist to test RadGridView for WPF using the same data :)

Looks like by default our grid will sort approximately 10 times faster - no need to build your own custom comparers.

Enjoy!

My name is Rossen Hristov and I am a developer at the Telerik Reporting team. This is my first post and in it I would like to share some good news with you -- Telerik Reporting Q2 2008 SP1 is now officially live. We have spent the last month or so making sure that most of the issues that you have reported have been addressed carefully. This Service Pack is by far the largest we have delivered in terms of issues fixed and I would like to thank you for the great feedback that you have provided during the past...

I'm pleased to announce that the next version of RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX will support natively EntityDataSource.
All operations like paging, sorting and filtering will be applied directly on the data-base server:

and of course you will able to insert, update and delete records completely codeless.

Enjoy!

In this example I will show you how to populate a RadTreeView using LINQ and WCF. Also you will see how to transform a flat data into a hierarchical one.

The target result is:

1. Create a new Silverlight Web Application Project

NOTE: Make sure you choose "Web Application Project"

After the project loads you can see that besides the regular Silverlight application, Visual Studio adds a Web application that will host the .xap file.

Before writing any LINQ or creating any WCF service, we need a database to target.

2. Right-click on RadTreeViewWithWCFWeb project and add a new item - "SQL Server Database". You can give the...

 
RadTimePicker

RadTimePicker is an easy to use control allowing you to integrate time selection in your web applications. The control exposes an advanced parser that converts numeric/alpha-numeric values into a valid time. Using the templates of the RadTimePicker control you can arrange the items in your very custom manner. The control also supports defining selectable time-range through its Start/EndTime and Interval properties, or binding to a collection containing pre-defined values.

RadExpander control is a flexible control that helps you save space and achieve an easier navigation through...

Before we can begin any serious coding of the recently introduced "dotNetRegister" reference app, we need to define some some requirements. As with any good agile development effort, I want to create a backlog of features that need to be implemented and then prioritize development from there. I even intend to work on this application in sprints, though clearly, as a part time project, I don't expect to have a stellar burn-down rate.

ASIDE: If any of these agile terms- like backlog, sprint, or burn-down rate- are unfamiliar to you, I highly encourage you to spend a little time becoming more...

Over the past several weeks I started a new video series, called RadTips, which demonstrates how to use specific features of Telerik controls. The first four episodes of the series was dedicated to the new client-side data binding feature of the RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX. This feature is only available with the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q2 2008, our latest release of the control suite. Each episode showed how to implement a specific RadGrid feature when binding to data on the client. If you haven't had a chance to watch them, I highly recommend taking a few minutes to check...

It's finally out! As promised, we compiled this cool demo that uses a very simple but slick carousel UI. Now you can just give it a spin!

The download contains updated versions of several other Telerik Windows Forms demos that we have recently added to our portfolio, such as a RadGridView exporting demo, which features our great Telerik.Reporting solution:



I'll be very glad to have your feedback on this. Have fun!...

I am pleased to bring you another exciting episode of RadTips. In this episode, I show how to enable filtering when using the new client-side data binding feature of the RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX (Q2 2008). But what's cool about this (and past) episodes is that it includes some other fun ASP.NET goodies. For instance, instead of binding to data from SQL Server, I use LINQ to XML to bind to data from an XML file. In this episode I also take advantage of LINQ's Dynamic Query Library to create a more dynamic LINQ query to filter data with. So be...
