Reordering items will be shown in a future post. 2.Design     We will be using the MVVM Design Pattern. Let’s take a close look...

Telerik Page Transitions for WP7 sample code With the first CTP of Telerik RadControls for Windows Phone 7 we introduced the page transitions. You can read more info about them in my blog post.
