• With today’s introduction of the ASP.NET MVC wrappers for Kendo UI, or Kendo UI for ASP.NET MVC as they’re officially called, many questions are sure to arise about their relationship to the Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC. While the FAQs on KendoUI.com noted our plans for ASP.NET MVC from the outset, today’s release brings more clarity to our long-term plans. In this blog post, I’m going to explain how the release of Kendo UI for ASP.NET MVC impacts the Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC.

    Note: If you’d like to know more about Kendo UI for ASP.NET MVC beta, please read this blog...

  • Automated code generation for various kinds of services is nothing new for OpenAccess ORM. For years now the Data Service Wizard has been a part of the product. A  tool capable of easily exposing your data to client applications using web services, without having to write a single line of code.

    Now we are introducing the new and improved wizard called Add OpenAccess Service. It has been available under the "Generate OpenAccess Domain Model Service..." command as a preview. We took the time to polish the user interface and implement a lot of your feature requests, so we can now proudly present it's...

  • Have you ever experienced difficulties with hitting a button on a touch screen because of the button’s small size? Haven’t you wished texts were larger so you don’t need to zoom-in to read?

    No more troubles - our new MetroTouch skin for Telerik’s ASP.NET AJAX controls is coming on board with Q2 2012, expected in about a week!

     

     

    The Dimensions

    Fingertip - 11mm - 32px

    Dimensions are the biggest difference introduced in the MetroTouch skin. Almost every UI element has its regions and boundaries adjusted to a touch-friendly size of around 11mm at 72dpi per clickable area.

  • Fakes, Stubs, and Mocks

    Thursday, May 31, 2012 by Just* Team | Go comment!

    In Doing Your First Mock, Mehfuz Hossain explained why you should use mocking to improve your unit tests and then used a real world example to demonstrate this technique. In this post, I will take you down a different path using other forms of stand-ins.

    I will cover three types of objects used to improve unit testing:

    • Fakes
    • Stubs
    • Mocks

    These objects will be demonstrated using a SecurityHandler class which has been designed to allow injection of an interface in the constructor.

    public class SecurityHandler
    {
        private readonly ILoginService _service;
        public int UserID { get; internal set; }
        public SecurityHandler(ILoginService service)
        {
            _service = service;
        }
        public bool LoginUser(string userName, string password)
        {
            return (UserID =...

  • Overview

    RadControls for Windows Phone 7 completes the missing controls and functionalities from the UI Toolbox for Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone Toolkit. We not only offer controls not found in those resources, but we build upon existing controls they have created to offer our users a better experience. Our controls also aim to cut the development time by providing controls based on user feedback. Lastly, our controls are optimized for performance. A quick example of this is our RadDataBoundListBox compared to the ListBox offered in the Toolkit. Our control can handle hundreds of thousands of records without performance degradation....
