    Real-time update of Sparklines inside RadGridView SL/WPF

    Since Q3 2010 Telerik introduced the RadSparklines control. These new controls have remarkable performance as Yavor already showed. Today we will continue the topic of performance, however, we will do it in the context of a more real-world scenario. One application of the sparklines is to show financial data. Recently Vladimir Enchev blogged about real-time updates in RadGridView. Since sparklines and grids go hand-in-hand together when visualizing data we decided to prepare a small demo showing how to integrate both controls while still maintaining very good performance: In our project we took the real-time grid demo and also added some sparklines to it to illustrate...

    RadControls for Windows Phone 7 – an in-depth comparison with MS Toolkit

    Many users have asked the question “What are the differences between your controls and their equivalents in the Microsoft’s Toolkit for WP7”. With this article I will try to give you a more detailed perception on the added value of RadControls for Windows Phone 7. Please note that this is “our” point of view and how we see the differences between our suite and the Toolkit. We by no means belittle the efforts of Microsoft’s team that created such a nice components package.  I will list only the components/features that are present both in Telerik’s suite and the Toolkit.

    Server sorting and filtering with WCF RIA Services and Telerik Data Virtualization for Silverlight

    I’m happy to announce that with our upcoming service pack (Q3 2010 SP1) you will be able to sort, filter and load records on demand with WCF RIA Services and our VirtualQueryableCollectionView.   To enable this we’ve added two extension methods for EntityQuery<T> and now you can use directly VirtualQueryableCollectionView SortDescriptors and FilterDescriptors: var context = new NorthwindDomainContext(); var query = context.GetOrder_DetailsQuery().OrderBy(o => o.OrderID); var view = new VirtualQueryableCollectionView() { LoadSize = 10, VirtualItemCount = 100 }; view.ItemsLoading += (s, e) => { var queryToLoad = query .IncludeTotalCount(true) ...

Next, be sure to connect your project to your scheduling server (QA Edition Only) Now just set the appropriate arguments on the AoT Runner Set the ...
