Welcome back to XAMLflix. This week we’re looking at RadSparkline for Silverlight and WPF. XAMLflix is brought to you by Telerik to teach you how to use and get the most from both the new and existing controls in Telerik’s XAML suite.  Every Tuesday and Thursday we have new videos; every Wednesday we have a new written tutorial.  Since the Telerik Silverlight and WPF controls share a common codebase and API, you only have to learn how to use them once! Be sure to check out www.telerik.com/xamlflix for all the videos! RadSparkline is an information graphic -- designed to be both lightweight and...

With the 2012 R3 Release, localization of the Ideas and Feedback Portal is as easy as editing a text file!  Background Localization is the process of changing the text in an application to another language, or locale.  Well designed applications allow for changing the text that is displayed without having to branch the source code and recompile, and TeamPulse certainly falls into this category.  Built on Microsoft’s .NET Platform, TeamPulse takes full advantage of the localization features provided by the .NET Framework, allowing you to customize the Ideas and Feedback portal to the language that best meets your needs....

Overview RadControls for Windows Phone 7 completes the missing controls and functionalities from the UI Toolbox for Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone Toolkit.

The resulting image is rendered as SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) in the modern browsers where HTML5 allows embedding SVG in your web pages. In older browsers the output...

Every Wednesday we publish a new tutorial based on the XAMLFlix video series.  This gives you the same information as the video, but in a searchable text form. This week we are looking at RadDataBars. RadDataBars are a very useful way to display information about relative sizes and percentages. RadDataBars come in three flavors: RadDataBar RadStackedDataBar RadStacked100DataBar The RadDataBar reflects a single value, typically as a horizontal bar. The RadStackedDataBar reflects a series of values and their relative sizes, one stacked upon another . The RadStacked100DataBar is much like the RadStackedDataBar except that it is sized to fill the entire provided area -- each value given a...
