A closer look at the new RadNotification control in RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX
Have you ever searched for a quick and simple way to notify your users that something new is going on? Or just to show them some status message upon specific condition or time interval? This is now pretty easy to achieve with the new RadNotification control which joins RadControls for ASP NET AJAX suite in the Q2 2011 release!

Follow up to Maintainable Automation
During my first-ever webinar with Telerik this week I spoke briefly about learning how to keep your tests maintainable. This is something near and dear to my heart – I’ve been on a number of projects where we’ve had to suffer through test suites which became ever more brittle as time went on. Brittle tests break frequently due to unrelated changes in the system’s workflow, UI, or business rules. Of course, tests should fail when something directly relating to the test is broken—that’s why we have the tests!—but one change to a web page unrelated to the specific area you’re ...July 22, 2011 5 min read -

Under the Hood of RadImageEditor for Silverlight and WPF
Introduction In one of the previous blog posts, we gave you a quick overview of how to use RadImageEditorUI to add a basic image editor to your application in a few simple steps. However, there is often a need for more customized image editing capabilities, in which case you can use the bare-bone RadImageEditor control. It doesn’t force a specific UI, so you can choose one that will best integrate in your application. Whereas RadImageEditorUI contains all the UI you need from a basic image editor, RadImageEditor consists only of the image that is being edited. It has an API that... -
