Telerik Reporting and RadControls for WinForms Q3 2007 Roadmaps
Well into Q3 development, I am pleased to announce our Q3 2007 development plans for two of Telerik’s product lines: Telerik Reporting and RadControls for WinForms. My name is Vassil Petev, a new face on Telerik’s blogs, and I am the Product Manager of RadControls for WinForms.

Currently I am managing and supporting Telerik Reporting and Telerik WinForms product suites. As most of you know, we will be releasing the Q3... -

21 new RadGrid videos are available in public
Our friends from Falafel never stop to amaze me - it seems that these guys never sleep :) Now seriously, there is a bunch of new videos we have uploaded few days ago on telerik.com that are worth taking a look at. So if you want to spare several minutes of your time and learn more about the flexible object model and features of RadGrid here is the link you should visit:http://www.telerik.com/support/videos.aspxI personally like the zooming feature and the easy section navigation from the leftmost TOC section of the video. Naturally, we will follow the idea and all future videos (Falafel's or Telerik's) will take advantage of these... -

The Minesweeper Game Done in Silverlight 1.1
Silverlight is a Blast! And instead of trying to convince you, we present you a well-known game in its silverlit clothes. The minesweeper! It adds to other games that in the past several weeks have shown the ease with which you can use Silverlight to create online interaction and games.

ClickOnce and the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit
Some time ago a client of ours asked us whether he can use the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit with ClickOnce. Although we have a KB article on how to deploy the WinForms suite with ClickOnce, we do not have explicit instructions on doing this with the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit. So, here they are. Applications built with CAB have always caused problems when it is time to deploy them with ClickOnce. Applications built with the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit or (TCEK for short) are no different. Why this is considered such a painful task? Well, to most extent because CAB... -

How precise automated tests catch totally unexpected bugs
You may remember my post where I mentioned the technique I like regarding writing precise Selenium tests. I believe the good test has double value if it doesn’t verify just the case it is written for, but even catches totally unexpected bugs. How does such test look like? Several days ago our Web Grid developers were working on resolving a weird bug in the control. As soon as the new build was ready, I started Selenium tests execution to verify that everything with the build is OK. Some of the tests failed, though, throwing an error that a specified element ...November 05, 2007 2 min read -

Setting appearance using Themes
RadControls "Prometheus" can be easily configured to use ASP.Net 2.0 Themes the same way you would do for the ordinary ASP.Net controls. A chosen theme can be shared among multiple controls and pages and thus make group re-configuration extremely easy. You can see the following video which demonstrates how to configure RadEditor, RadWindow and RadCalendar "Prometheus" controls to use the WebBlue skin from a Theme: Setting Appearance Using Themes.
