Menu Merge (RadControls for WinForms)
The long established traditions of the MDI interface makes menu merge indispensable for any WinForms Controls library. The MDI user interface is well known across the users and perhaps the most famous application that employed it for more than a decade is Microsoft Office (up to version 2003). Even though the new Ribbon Bar look snazzier to me, I am sure that the folks that are using Menus in MDI forms will appreciate this new feature. Our MDI implementation covers two things – RadForm and RadMenu. Both are really independent and for this reason you can mix RadForms and standard forms as well...July 23, 2009 -

One of these is the arrangement of labels on the horizontal axis and especially when placed in a limited space(overlapping labels). This problem is clearly visible on the image below: Several ways to work around this problem have been developed and during the last months we put efforts to implement most of them. Our recent Q2.2009 release of RadChart for WPF/SL offers the following AxisX properties: LabelStep - when set to n, this property will make only...July 14, 2009 -

Binding to custom fields with RadScheduler for WinForms
We just finished working on the Q2 2009 release of RadControls for WinForms. One of the best things about releases is that we get to show off the cool new stuff that we managed to get done. One of my favorite features is the full support for binding to custom fields in RadScheduler. Yes, this means that you finally can have RadScheduler bound to that email field in your data source. And do you know what’s the best part? It’s fairly easy: 1. If you have not already done this, add your custom field to your data source. 2. You will need a custom...July 07, 2009 -

WPF / Silverlight: RadChart and BindableLinq
RadChart data binding provides a simple and consistent way for applications to present and interact with data. In many cases the data that you work with is a collection of objects and you need the UI to update automatically whenever the datasource gets updated. WPF and Silverlight provide a built-in implementation of a data collection that implements the INotifyCollectionChanged interface and achieves the desired effect. However, when you try to blend the ObservableCollection<T> implementation with some LINQ queries, the situation gets a bit more complicated and most probably the out-of-the-box result will not match your expectations. Let us take the...June 17, 2009
