WPF Series: Creating Generic Adorner
As I have mentioned at the end of the previous post today I will show you how to create a generic adorner, which will allow you to decorate a single element multiple times at different positions. At the end we will be able to create something that looks like this: To achieve this we will need a way to say that we want to position the adorner at the different corners of the element as well as to specify whether we want to be inside or outside (vertically or horizontally) of the element. Let's create some enumeration types that will serve for...May 22, 2008 2 min read -

Web ASP.NET AJAX
Client-side data-binding with RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX, WebServices and LINQ - Part II
Today I've spent another ~ 30 minutes to extend RadGrid client-side data binding demo to 1 mil. records from my previous post and now you have caching and filtering included. All data operations are accomplished using famous Dynamic Query Library however you can easily rewrite the demo to use SQL syntax instead if you want. You can check the new example here and download the source from here. Enjoy!ReleaseRadControls for Silverlight 2.0 CTP
Moving forward with the next-generation Web Controls, Telerik is proud to announce its forthcoming CTP release of the RadContols suite for Silverlight 2.0. As always, our main goal is adding power to the default controls bundled with Silverlight 2.0. What is more, we will release controls that are not “in the box” of what Microsoft has already prepared. We will provide fully featured, lookless and completely stylable controls that will be “WPF Source Code” compatible. RadControls will allow you to accomplish Rich User Experience and deliver valuable visualizations to your custom applications. Our eye-catching examples will guide you through the...PeopleStephen Forte goes to US Congress
Yesterday was a big day – Stephen Forte, our Chief Strategy Officer, was in the US Congress! Besides talking about Telerik, our quest for global software domination and the Bulgarian-American friendship, Stephen was there to comment on a very important and pending issue: should US government modernize its systems and ensure that heaps of historic information are not just stored but are also accessible. In essence, Stephen urged them to move away from mainframes so that they can start using our tools:) Here’s what Stephen and the others had to say in the discussion (article from Washington Internet Daily): Government Urged to...Web ASP.NET AJAXClient-side data-binding with RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX, WebServices and LINQ
As a TRUE ASP.NET AJAX Control you have almost unlimited possibilities with RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX client-side API. I've spent ~ 30 minutes to create small and powerful demo with client-side data-binding to 1 mil. records using WebService and LINQ. No traditional post back/ajax requests to the same page, no ViewState - just pure JSON. To see the traffic between client and server you can use FireBug, HttpWatch, Fiddler or any other similar tool. Here is a small screenshot from FireBug: Enjoy! [Source code]Web ASP.NET AJAXTitle Attributes in CSS Link Tags Prevent Styles from Being Applied
I have been aware for some time now that title attributes in CSS <link> tags trigger problems and prevent some CSS styles from being applied on the web page. Today I invested a couple of hours in finding out what actually happens and this is what we've got. If you have several <link> tags in the page <head> and one of them has a title attribute, then the <link> tags coming after it must either have a title attribute with the same value or no title attribute at all, otherwise the styles in the latter CSS files the will not be applied on the...WebAre you LINQed?
As you may probably know, since the middle of September last year, RadGrid for ASP.NET provides native and codeless support for LinqDataSource. You can edit, update, delete and insert records without a single line of code. Furthermore, since the beginning of this year we added codeless hierarchy support - as a result RadGrid for ASP.NET has become the first ASP.NET DataGrid on the market with native LINQ support. With the newly released RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX we moved our LINQ support to the next level and now the grid will perform all operations like sorting, filtering, paging, etc. using pure LINQ to Objects internally -...
