      I’m happy to announce that with the Q1 2011 SP1 release RadTileView will have yet another new and amazing feature – selection.

    How To Create A Population Pyramid with RadChart for Silverlight

    A population pyramid, also called an age structure diagram as defined by Wikipedia is a graphical illustration that shows the distribution of various age groups in a human population (typically that of a country or region of the world).

    How To Drag A File From Desktop And Drop It In RadTreeView Placed In WPF Application

      Sometimes we need to extend the RadTreeView’s Drag’and’Drop abilities in order to accept external data from other applications or Windows. In this post I will show you how to successfully drag and drop images from  windows desktop / windows explorer to a RadTreeView located in a running WPF Application. Imagine we want to make a tree that shows pictures and names of our favourite football teams and our favourite players in these teams. How can we achieve this ? We can first create some ViewModels: PlayerViewModel, TeamViewModel, LeagueViewModel that all inherit from BaseViewModel. The BaseViewModel will implement the INotifyPropertyChanged interface and will expose Name(string) and ImgSource(Uri) properties. Then we will create...
