    Bringing User Experience to the next level in RadGridView for WinForms

    In the upcoming Q3 2010, we bring the extensibility of RadGridView to the next level. We will add the ability to create and replace the row type for all rows stored in the rows collection which will give our customers almost unlimited control over the customization and design of the control. The new feature gives developers the opportunity to extend the default behavior of all descends of the GridViewRowInfo class. Here is how it works: Let’s say that you want to create an expandable filter row which has extended user-friendly UI for filtering: In Q3 2010 this will be possible with a few simple...

    Techniques for Creating a Hierarchical RadGridView for WinForms

    Update (10/8/2010): With the Q2 2010 release, a few things changed in RadGridView's API. Most notably, the MasterGridViewTemplate property has been deprecated and replaced with the MasterTemplate property. Due to this, and other changes, I've decided to update this blog entry to contain the latest available information. A while back, I posted a video on Telerik TV explaining the different techniques you can use to create a hierarchical RadGridView (Please note that the video was recorded prior to Q2, so there may be a few minor differences between the RadGridView in the video and the one that is currently ...

    Twitter Authentication with TweetSharp and WinForms

    A few weeks ago, I decided to spend some more time experimenting with the Twitter API and TweetSharp. If you missed my last blog entry about it, you can access it here. Last time I focused on creating a simple UserControl for ASP.NET that displayed recent tweets. It didn’t require any authentication and was actually quite simple to implement. This time around, I wanted to create a RadControls for WinForms based application that retrieved information about my accounts followers. This type of information is unfortunately not publically accessible through the API. You actually need to authenticate and log ...

    Fast real-time data update for your Silverlight and WPF applications

    I’ve made small example to illustrate how to use NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Replace in order to provide very fast real-time data update with RadGridView for Silverlight and WPF.    While Binding in both Silverlight and WPF will react immediately to any property change of INotifyPropertyChanged object and will update RadGridView cell values sometimes it is important to refresh the grid in order to update a sorting, filtering, grouping, etc. after some value change. To achieve your goal in such situation you have two options:   - listen for PropertyChanged of every item in the collection and raise NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Reset for the collection in order to tell the...
