  Hello,
  
      I need to create a cube with 6 faces each having the same look and feel. For example, if I have a Grid with a RadGridView and RadChart on one face, I want to have the same displayed on other faces as well when rotating. My business logic will take care of modifying the faces as per requirement, but as such my UI is same across all faces.
  
  From a designing point of view, its not ideal to develop 6 sections (copy-pasted) in the Xaml. Is there a way I can have only section (for one face) designed in the xaml and programmatically render on the other 5 faces with rotation.
  
  Awaiting a quick reply,
  Vish

  Hi pratik mehta,
  
  The only way to achieve the desired functionality in the RadCube for now is to use a UserControl defining the content of each side of the cube. For example, you can define a UserControl containing a Grid with a RadGridView and a RadChart. However, in the RadCube definition you will need to apply the same user control for each side:
  

  <telerikNavigation:RadCube x:Name="myCube"

          IsRotateOnClickEnabled="True"

          SelectedIndex="0"

      RotateSpeed="1" IsRotateOnStart="False"

      XWidth="200" YWidth="200" ZWidth="200"

      HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" >

     <local:MyUserControl/>

     <local:MyUserControl/>

     <local:MyUserControl/>

     <local:MyUserControl/>

     <local:MyUserControl/>

     <local:MyUserControl/>

  </telerikNavigation:RadCube>

  
  I attached a sample project illustrating this approach. Please take a look at it and let me know if it works for you.

  is there any way to use RADCUBE using VB.Net or C# and not in XAML? Is there sample available?
  Also can I use RadCube in WPF?

  Hello Nick,
  
  Silverlight is a language independent platform so you can develop both on VB and C#. I've prepared a small project demonstrating how to create a cube programatically.
  As for your other question, we do not have RadCube for WPF.
