One of my friend, Abhishek Sur (Microsoft MVP, Client App Dev), recently published a book titled "Visual Studio 2012 and .NET 4.5 Expert Development Cookbook" covering basic usage of Visual Studio 2012 IDE, its various components and better utilization of the tool.

This post is just an announcement of the book and introduce you with the content of it. If you are willing to buy, find herewith the links of different store.

If you are using Telerik’s RadRichTextBox control in your Silverlight application, you might have noticed that the control exposes a format tool which pops up in the screen when you select some text inside the control. This is the same behaviour that you notice in Microsoft Word too.

But for some reason, you might want to hide that toolbar if you are building an application like notepad. This small post will cover the same for you.
