Hello everyone,

Here’s a quick update on everything related to the Visual Studio 11 Beta Release. For those eager to use our controls in VS11 Beta, we have good news for you – coming on March 21^st, 2012 we officially roll out Service Pack 1 for Silverlight and WPF which will include limited support for VS11 Beta. Like many Beta products, we have discovered an issue with our XAML controls being automatically added to the ToolBox. We have alerted Microsoft of the issue and they are working to resolve them in the Visual Studio 11 RC. But for the time-being, we...

14 new customers’ apps from different categories just joined our Windows Phone Showcase Gallery. Check them out here.

And while looking at them I couldn’t help but notice that 3 of them are in the very top of their respective categories.

Such as Gooroovster at #12 in the music + video / top category. The app is the first Google Music player for Windows Phone and is using Telerik’s PhoneApplicationFrame, JumpList, DatabountListbox and TileHelper.

Connecting with businesses, movies, people and what not is a piece of cake with Poynt at #20 in travel + navigation / free category.

And then there is Math Rocks at...

In case you have missed the news, Telerik Reporting is one of the many Telerik products that support the beta version of Visual Studio 11. To use it in VS11 you will just need to download the Q1 2012 Refresh build from your Telerik account (or use the trial link at the bottom) and install it:

The installer will register the Telerik assemblies in VS11, and will populate the toolbox with the Telerik Reporting items. Every feature (Report Designer surface, item creation and data binding, report exporting, etc.) has been tested so you can start using Telerik Reporting right away to produce quality reports with...

We just finished our Q2 2012 planning here at the Telerik HQ and we’ve got some pretty big news to announce! Thanks to the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX product survey quite a few of you answered in the beginning of this year (thank you!), we identified a few things we could do to add even more value for you to Telerik’s ASP.NET AJAX control suite.

The results show that the majority of you will benefit from the addition of ASP.NET AJAX PivotGrid and HTML5 Chart controls and this is why we will make sure we deliver them to you for Q2 (expected...

Programming with the new GanttView control

As many of you already know with Q1 2012 we introduced a RadGanttView for Silverlight and WPF - a control designed with MVVM-friendly API.

In this blog post we will set-up a sample project with RadGanttView to get you started.

First, to add RadGanttView to a new or existing application we need to add references to the following assemblies:

Telerik.Windows.Controls

Telerik.Windows.Controls.GanttView

Telerik.Windows.Scheduling.Core

Now, let’s add the telerik namespace:

xmlns:telerik=http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation

Аnd add a sample definition of the control:

<telerik:RadGanttView/>

Here is a screenshot of what you should see after running the project:

Now, we will create a data source in our ViewModel and bind...

Microsoft recently released the new Visual Studio 11 Beta. The JustCode team has been working hard, and we have already published an internal build with support for Visual Studio 11. You can download it directly from your account. Feel free to give it a try, and please keep in mind that VS11 is in beta and JustCode support is still experimental. Some glitches are to be expected.

The fine print

There are a few known issues when using JustCode with Visual Studio 11:

• WinRT projects are not supported yet.
• Asynchronous solution loading (a nice improvement for Visual Studio 11 that allows you to start working immediately...

It’s an exciting time to be an ASP.NET developer, especially with the upcoming ASP.NET 4.5 and MVC4 releases, and I know a lot of you are wondering how the Telerik Extensions ASP.NET MVC will work with ASP.NET MVC4. While we do not have official builds against MVC4 today, we will be providing these once the platform finally comes out of beta. For those of you curious as to whether or not it works in the current beta, I can tell you that it does! Actually, I’ll do one better: I’ll show you! :)

For the Love of Beta

For this demo I’m...

Hello everyone and welcome back to XAMLflix with RadTreeMap/RadPivotMap for Silverlight and WPF. What is XAMLflix you might ask? Well, it is Telerik’s way of teaching you how to use both new and existing controls from Telerik’s XAML suite. Each and every Thursday, we will provide a fresh batch of videos and sample projects highlighting a different control. Since our Silverlight and WPF share a common codebase and API, you only have to learn how to use these controls once! You can simply copy and paste the code between frameworks.

The RadTreeMap/RadPivotMap control can effortlessly turn hierarchical data into meaningful representations that...

Introduction

One of the newest members to the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX family, Telerik’s ASP.NET AJAX Organizational Chart control is still green and growing. In its first release we equipped it with the most crucial tools it needed to be successful in the outside world. In Q1 2012 RadOrgChart leveled up and added two other important tools to its belt:

• Drag-and-drop in both binding modes - simple and group-enabled;
• Expand/collapse behavior for nodes;

Drag-and-drop

Simple Binding

When data-bound to simple hierarchical data the user can reorder nodes (people) in the hierarchy by being guided by nice visual clues depicting the availability and the result of the current drop...
