Emulating Paging with RadGridView for WinForms and LINQ with 1 million records
Our customers who use the Telerik ASP.NET line of controls are used to having paging in their grids. This approach, however, is seldom used for WinForms applications, although there are cases when paging in WinForms grids is needed as well, especially when there are million records in the database (literally). You may have seen the blog post by Vladimir Enchev about implementing paging with RadGridView for WPF (if you have not, this is the right time to do so :)). A couple of days ago Mr. Enchev came by and said "You know guys, you could do the same thing with your WinForms...September 02, 2008 -

Shaders in WPF? Do you find them useful?
One of the most exciting things about the new .NET3.5 SP1 is definitely the ability to use Shaders (Pixel Shaders only).

There are a couple of "default" examples, a ShaderPad I find pretty useful, but that's it, no advanced examples what-so-ever. Additionally, I found a couple of cool examples (like those posted on Addam Kinney's blog), but those...September 02, 2008 -

The download contains updated versions of several other Telerik Windows Forms demos that we have recently added to our portfolio, such as a RadGridView exporting demo, which features our great Telerik.Reporting solution: I'll be very glad to have your feedback on this. Have fun!...August 25, 2008 -

WPF: Read-only Dependency Properties
Yup, awkward creatures but they do exist! :) To be honest I came across these only recently and decided to share this (potentially) valuable information as well -- you cannot use it if you do not know it's there. Why do we need read-only dependency properties? There is a certain brand of dependency properties within the WPF framework that are used primarily for state determination. Often multiple conditions affect certain control state thus calculating and setting the state value directly is not feasible and generally leads to unpredictable and inconsistent results. Here is an example -- the UIElement.IsMouseOver dependency property (a common property...August 22, 2008
