Improvements in the visual appearance of RadSlider for ASP.NET AJAX
The RadSlider is getting a subtle, but still important update for its visual appearance in the Q1 2010 release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. We made the appearance of all skins be consistent so you can have more choice when it comes to picking the right one for your application. Here is the comparison between the old an new look: The first difference is that we have added a border at both ends of the slider track. The border is not part of the track itself. The second difference is that all slider arrows now have a background and look... -

We had a great Agile seminar yesterday in Pune, India. You can download the seminar slides here.

As Q1 2010 is approaching, we thought it would be a good idea to tell you a few words about the new features in RadScheduler for WinForms. RadScheduler for WinForms will include a brand new Timeline View , designed to display continuous schedule for one or multiple resources. Time-slot duration, time-slot cells count, visible resources count and view’s duration will be fully customizable. For example you can set the time-slot duration to any value from 15 minutes to 1 year and restrict your scheduler view from 01/01/2009 to 01/01/2011. The screenshot below shows a timeline view grouped by...ProductivityPerformance Gains and Advanced Data Visualization Brought to RadControls for Silverlight and WPF with Q1 2010

For anyone who tuned into part 1 of this series, there was an interesting comment from Ben (one of the Telerik MVPs who also shows up quite often with intelligent commentary in a variety of locations) about the idea of using Prism, MVVM, and WCF RIA together in their current state. This actually fell in line with a number of other conversations I have had with developers over the last few weeks and I realized something very important- he's quite right about the state of things. Much like 7 is the magic number for Windows, 4 is going to be the magic...ReleaseQ1 WinForms Preview TODAY, New Visual Style Builder

Howdy folks! It has been a while since I last blogged. To compensate for it, however, I am bringing some exciting news to our loyal RadChart users. While not blogging I have been busy working with two of the smartest people in our company to bring you some really dramatic performance improvements to RadChart.

As in any business, with prosperity comes the need to bring in more people to handle the workload. Telerik is no stranger to that, but here in the US office this has previously been a process heavy with Excel files, carefully tagging emails in Outlook, and relying on the Outlook calendar to ensure that interviews and the like are all in synch. This worked when the US office was working out of someone's house a few years back, but with two offices, multiple brand new and open positions, and more on the way, we realized we'd need to figure out some...
