(I am not listed on the PDC web site for some reason, but I will be there alongside Joel.) We will most definitely show the Telerik Dashboard and Work Item Manager as well as chat about tons of other great tools. Most importantly, we want to hear from you at this session. We did it that way at TechEd in LA earlier this year (the #1 ranked interactive session at TechEd 2009) and it worked well. Hope to see you there and have a great discussion.

WebAii v2.0: Let Your Tests Share the Same Browser Instance
One of the features I really enjoy in WebAii v2.0 is the RecycleBrowser option. It changes the behavior of your tests, i.e. they keep running in the same browser instance (when set to ‘true’) instead of opening a new browser for each test. The default value is ‘false’ for consistency with the previous framework versions behavior. You can programmatically update that setting via the Settings class or using the Application’s config file. However, there are some details you should have in mind when using that option. We do use the RecycleBrowser option in the WebAii Testing Framework Sample Tests ...November 13, 2009 4 min read -

The Telerik Menu
The Telerik Visual Studio Extensions are now included in the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX and RadControls for Silverlight installers in order to make the development of applications with Telerik RadControls faster and easier.

It is context sensitive and changes its state depending on the projects you are working on. 1) Create New Telerik Project menu item This state can be observed when no solution is opened or the currently selected project is not suitable for use with RadControls.

digg_url = "http://www.stephenforte.net/PermaLink,guid,bb9d49fd-982f-433b-9617-547de01a7978.aspx";digg_title = "Using Telerik OpenAccess with Visual Studio 2010 Beta2";digg_bgcolor = "#FFFFFF";digg_skin = "normal";digg_url = undefined;digg_title = undefined;digg_bgcolor = undefined;digg_skin = undefined; Just a few weeks ago Microsoft released Visual Studio 2010 Beta2. Last week Telerik put its Q3 release live into production. One of the cool new Q3 features is that OpenAccess now works seamlessly with Visual Studio 2010. That means you can target .NET 3.5 or .NET 4.0 using either Visual Studio 2008 (.NET 3.5) or Visual Studio 2010 (.NET 4.0). I will do a quick demo with Visual Studio 2010, SQL Azure, and OpenAccess. With OpenAccess Q3 installed, I fired up Visual Studio 2010 and started a console project targeting .NET 4.0 While the project will target the .NET 4.0 Framework, we have to do one small thing to make... -

How to: Create custom editor with RadGridView for Silverlight and WPF
If you need a custom editor to edit a specific data, you can use one of the following approaches: Use CellEditTemplate property of the GridViewColumn. Create a custom column by inheriting from GridViewBoundColumnBase. As almost anything in our life both approaches have some advantages and disadvantages. Although it is quite easy to implement the first option, there are some significant disadvantages like not so usable with many RadGridView instances, and more important this bypasses the RadGridView validation and editing engine. For more information about this approach you can take a look at this online example. In this blog post I’ll try to explain how to... -

Fairfield / Westchester Code Camp 2009
So this is not my normal type of post, but I wanted to take a moment to thank the folks over at the Fairfield / Westchester Code Camp for a great time this past Saturday. They had 24 sessions going over 4 tracks to cover the day, with a lot of great content on everything from my personal favorite, Silverlight, to Azure, F#, Poweshell, and a ton more. Looking forward to all of the presentations being posted online so I could see some of what I missed. Telerik was one of the sponsors for this awesome code camp, but aside from... -

Telerik @ TechEd Europe 2009 in Berlin – Day 3
Steve did great presentations today about “Daily Scrum” and “Tools and Agile Teams”. Since he is always coding in his presentations using the latest technologies and releases he made it to use VS2010 with OpenAccess. Watch his Blog this week about this topic. As expected, we did run out of our famous .NET Ninja T-Shirts today but had some Geekette T-Shirts left. So people started to get used to the new look: Thanks so far to the more than 1000 people having visited our booth. 2 days to go …... -

Telerik @ TechEd Europe 2009 in Berlin – Day 2
Having learned from yesterday we started the day earlier than the exhibition opened officially and again it was worth doing so. Many people came by after their first session. Anyway we could have a short break and our CSO Steve managed the whole booth on his own … At the end of another very busy day we enjoyed the reception in the exhibition area. People love our T-Shirts so much that we will run out of them shortly. So if you are an attendee not having one yet, hurry up tomorrow morning and come to booth V7/V8 in the VSIP zone. 3 days...
