    WCF RIA Services + RadControls for Silverlight Q3 SP1

Still there are cases when one may further need to control the report definition according to a custom logic that runs in the client application. However, since we have introduced the Silverlight Report Viewer the greatest challenge our clients have faced is that there is no direct access to the report definition in the Silverlight application.   To provide the ability to specify the parameter...

    Telerik Reporting offers industry’s first built-in Silverlight Viewer

    The Q3 2009 release is now in the past, but the newly introduced features are here to stay.
