AppMock is Windows RT prototyping tool that allows you to easily create wireframes, mockups and prototypes on your tablet or desktop. Some of the most important features are - advanced designer surface, tons of built-in galleries, navigation links, executable projects, sync with the cloud and many more.

Whenever we plan a new release we try to navigate between several stakeholders; the customer requests (features, ideas, bugs), demands by our own Telerik teams (not the least,Telerik JustTrace), the ever changing landscape of technology (should I mention Windows 8 and JavaScript?) and, finally, our own aspirations and visions. Trying to find a compromise between these poles and tailoring it to time and resources is both exciting and difficult, as every project manager knows I guess. Despite the fact that we so often impose ourselves quite a challenge I'm always impressed near release time that...

The development of RadDiagram for Silverlight and WPF continues to move full speed ahead during the Q3 time-frame. After the Q2 release and the awesome series of features we delivered, it is now time to focus on the next best diagramming bits. Of course,we'll continue to refine the existing features, improve the flexibility and extensibility of the diagramming API, make the visuals even more rich and clear the path for more grandiose data visualizations and user interactions. However, the world continues heading towards a more colorful spectrum of form factors, platforms and technologies, so the Q3 release will be a transition towards the next big thing in diagramming. We'll keep you up...

It's Official

It's been a wild Q for the Diagramming team. We did a lot of great stuff in this short four months.We added lots of new features, layouts and helper controls, improved the old ones, fixed some issues and for you, to better evaluate the power of RadDiagram, we created new cool examples and real world applications. If you remember my post about the RadDiagram Q2 Roadmap; well, we did everything in the list plus even more. In the next few paragraphs I'll get into all the major new features and cool stuff.

New Features

• Layouts
  • Tree Layouts
    • Left-Right, Right-Left, Top-Bottom or Bottom-Top
    • Tip over Tree
    • Mind...

It was just a month ago when we released the first version of the RadDiagram control/framework and now is time to share with you some plans about the future. We (and our partner and friend - The Orbifold) are very committed to the RadDiagram success and becoming one of the top diagramming frameworks for WPF and Silverlight out there. We will be pushing new features and possibilities as much as possible as well as trying to reach different platforms.

Official for Q2

As you already know it is currently in beta state (even we think it is more than a beta) but with the upcoming...

The new RadDiagram framework brings, together with a host of new exciting things in Telerik's 2012 Q1 release, a new world of possibilities to the WPF and Silverlight community. This article attempts to show you that Telerik's RadDiagram is easy-to-use and that it differs from other Telerik controls in that it more closely represents a framework than a control. It’s an invitation to augment and customize the RadDiagram toolset in function of your application and business context. That said, we have to tell you straight away that RadDiagram, as released with Q1, is...

Telerik Q1.2012 XAML Controls are here! 

And one of the most interesting new pieces there is the Diagramming control/framework. It is a product of joint venture between Telerik and our awesome partner - Orbifold.

RadDiagram brings lots of new and exiting possibilities to both WPF and Silverlight worlds. In this post I'll show off what RadDiagram is and how you can best use it for number of different applications. Let's first take a look and play with it.

Control or a Framework?

The Control.

RadDiagram is very extensible and flexible Control (part of the Telerik.Windows.Controls.Diagrams assembly). It mimics the intrinsic ItemsControl and has two major types of children:

• RadDiagramShape - an...

As you may already know, we are working hard to improve the RadSlider in a broad way. We've fixed a lot of issues, but also added a lot of new cool features. Now it's so easy to customize and bind (in MVVM-ish way), that I've created this Windows 7 "Mixer" like example in less than an hour. I didn't change the Slider's ControlTemplate and don't have a single line of code behind.

(Please note that the new slider will be available with the beta of Q2.2011).

Download and play with the new bits.

Just play with the Sliders - note that the most left one is...

With the Q1 2011 release just being around the corner a new and amazing version of RadTileView will be available. It is sleek, fast and more responsive than ever and it brings a whole set of new features and functionality to the table.

Download and play with the new bits.

Virtualization

The main feature, that I’m sure you’d like most is the UI Virtualization (delaying the creation of UI Elements). We implemented it in both tiling scenarios:

• Restored – this includes both directions - Horizontal and Vertical. It means that if you have 10 columns x 1000 rows you'll get 10 000 tiles and you’ll see both scrollbars....

What's new in Telerik Minifier

It is a huge pleasure to announce the release of Telerik’s new Minifier tool now featuring Xap file minification option. It has been a while since we have released the Assembly Minifier and now we bring the concept for minification and reducing the XAP file size to a new level. We have just released the new Telerik Minifier tool that now features Xap Minification to enable you prune and remove everything that your application does not need from the Telerik assemblies in the Xap. As a result, the size of your application's Xap file will be dramatically reduced. Behind the scenes it...
