Hey Telerik Developer Community!  If you are in the northeastern US (or even further, if you look at the speakers!), then you probably spent this past Saturday afternoon at New England Code Camp 14 for a day jam packed with great topics and conversations. I was able to present Building a Unified Experience - Developing with Silverlight 4 and Windows Phone 7 at NECC and had a great time of it- the audience seemed to get into the talk as well with tons of questions regarding the framework, the future of WP7, and the launch that we all know is coming...

One of RadChart’s most powerful features is its support for DataBinding. This means that as long as you correctly format your data source, you shouldn’t have to write any backend code to support the generation of the chart. Using a data source with a control as powerful and complex as the RadChart can unfortunately be somewhat confusing. In this post, I’ll shed some light on one of the scenarios you are sure to come across, displaying incremental DateTime values from a data source in the X-Axis of RadChart. Setting Up the Data Source RadChart does not work directly with DateTime ...

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...

In Part III, we looked at where to put the data warehouse tables. In Part IV, we are going to look at how to populate those tables and keep them in sync with your OLTP system. Today, our last part in this...

Since the introduction of RadMap many customers have expressed a need to load shapefiles onto it.  We are adding native support for shapefiles in the Q3 Release, along with vastly improving the performance of information, and dynamic layers.  However, the beta is still a few weeks away, and I had a need for loading shapefiles this week, so I put this quick example together. How to do it Shapefile parsing in this demo is handled by the reader available in the ESRI Contrib project.  When we make the Q3 release you will be able to switch over to our reader by changing about...
