I recently posted an entry regarding the Radial Gauge for WPF where I demonstrated how you can create a half circle gauge.  Not long after that post, I received a question asking about Linear Gauges and how to use multiple scales in a single Linear Gauge.  It is not that there is a functional difference, but rather a visual difference.  The Office Black theme (shown below) has a border area in the middle where the linear gauges were overlapping causing a visual collision.  There are a number of ways that you can accomplish a task and I think one of...

If you are planning to use the RadRibbonBar and want to get started quickly, then you might consider using the RadRibbonForm template in VIsual Studio.  While you can use a standard form the RadRibbonForm allows you to use the RadRibbonBar and have it extend into the Title bar, just like Microsoft Office.  You will first need to install the template so it is available to you in Visual Studio.  To get started, navigate to the C:\Program Files\Telerik\RadControls for WinForms [version]\Templates.  If you are using CSharp open the CSharp directory, there are Visual Basic versions as well, in appropriately named folders,...

I’ve made small demo on how to save and restore various RadGridView settings using ApplicationSettingsBase. To turn on this for your grid you can simply set RadGridViewSettings.IsEnabled attached property: <Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation" xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1" xmlns:ts="clr-namespace:Telerik.Settings" Title="Window1"> <Grid> <Grid.Resources> <ObjectDataProvider x:Key="customers" ObjectType="{x:Type local:NorthwindDataContext}" MethodName="get_Customers"> </ObjectDataProvider> </Grid.Resources> <telerik:RadGridView ts:RadGridViewSettings.IsEnabled="True" x:Name="RadGridView1" ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource customers}}"/> </Grid></Window> Saved settings...

During a recent webinar, a question was asked about whether you can create a half circle gauge.  I recently covered this in my “Introducing RadGauge for WPF” webinar, but thought it would be good to have a quick blog post as well.  Below you will see a RadialGauge which contains two RadialScales placed along the left and right of the gauge.  This is actually very easy to produce since the RadialGauge is simply a container, you can place a number of scales inside of the gauge.      Here is the XAML for the screenshot...

Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to present a webinar discussing the RadGridView for WPF.  The control was built from the ground-up to take advantage of the WPF platform and the .NET 3.5 framework.  RadGridView for WPF represents the next generation in flexible data presentation controls you need to build powerful line of business applications. In the webinar, I provided an overview of RadGridView to help you understand all of its capabilities. If you are interested in seeing what was discussed, I welcome you to visit Telerik TV to view the full webinar using the following...
