    RadGridView's Serialization Made Easy (WinForms)

    Hello to all! My name is Deyan and I am a new member of the Telerik WinForms Team. In my first blog post I will talk about the RadGridView’s Serialization API and will shortly explain some fundamentals that would help you understand how to utilize it. In case of further interest on this topic, I have prepared a KB article and a demo application to demonstrate different serialization scenarios using the API. The default serialization settings imply that all visible properties are stored in the XML output. In cases when you want to only store some simple layout settings without paying attention to...

    Easy programmatic UI customization for WPF and Silverlight

    I’m pleased to announce that with Q1 2009 release of RadControls for WPF / Silverlight you will be able to manipulate the controls very easily with two powerful extension methods: ParentOfType<> and ChildrenOfType<>. Here are several small demos for RadGridView: 1) Get all grid rows:      var rows = RadGridView1.ChildrenOfType<GridViewRow>(); 2) Get all grid cells:      var cells= RadGridView1.ChildrenOfType<GridViewCell>(); 3) Get all grid header cells:      var headerCells = RadGridView1.ChildrenOfType<GridViewHeaderCell>(); 4) Get (and show) new row:      var newRow = RadGridView1.ChildrenOfType<GridViewNewRow>().First();     ...

    WPF How To: Endless scrolling of 2mil. records using BackgroundWorker and LINQ to SQL

    I’ve made small demo how to create easily endless scrolling of almost 2 mil. records (exact count is 1770607) using RadGridView for WPF. When you reach the bottom of the vertical scrollbar, more data will be retrieved on-the-fly from the data-base server: For asynchronous data loading you can use BackgroundWorker: BackgroundWorker worker = new BackgroundWorker(); worker.DoWork += new DoWorkEventHandler(worker_DoWork); worker.RunWorkerCompleted += new RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler(worker_RunWorkerCompleted); worker.RunWorkerAsync(); … void worker_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e) { NorthwindDataContext context = new NorthwindDataContext(); queryable = from o in context.Orders from od in context.Order_Details ...

    Quickly Formatting Data with the RadGridView for WinForms

    Most developers have encountered a need at some point to modify how data is displayed to the user.  The RadGridView offers a very straightforward way to format data without having to modify the source data.  For example, you may not want the time displayed with a DateTime field, or you want to change the structure of the data to meet an internal standard.  The screenshot below shows three different fields which display the default DateTime format. This may be valid data, but it may not be useful to the user and we could potentially save screen real estate by eliminating...

    Displaying Hierarchy in RadGridView for WPF

    Building on my previous post where I talked about how to bind data to the RadGridView, today I want to show how you can display hierarchical data in the grid.  I will follow the same concept of building an application for a car repair shop to manage vehicles in for repair.  I will leverage two classes to display the data.  The original Car class which was used previously and a new CustomerComplaint class.  The Complaint property of the Car object was initially a string, but we need to allow for several issues to be reported so we will use the CustomerComplaint class to...
