One of the less known features supported by Telerik’s RadChart for Silverlight/WPF is the ability to completely abandon the default control layout and build one of your own with no constraints for the number of elements used. The goal of this blog post is to shed some light on this functionality and to demonstrate the most common techniques that can be used to customize the legend. First of all, to build your own custom chart layout you should set the UseDefaultLayout property of the RadChart object to false. Here is the custom layout I prepared: <telerik:RadChart x:Name="RadChart1" UseDefaultLayout="False">             <Grid>                 <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>                     <ColumnDefinition Width="50"/>                     <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>                 </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>                 <Grid.RowDefinitions>                     <RowDefinition Height="*"/>                    ...

  With the release of RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax Q3 2009 SP1 we introduced built-in CDN support. It was very logical that Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC receive some CDN love as well. Now this is a fact! Go download the current release from here (open source) or here (licensed).   Enabling global CDN support from web.config Add the following XML in your web.config: <configSections> <sectionGroup name="telerik"> <section name="webAssets" type="Telerik.Web.Mvc.Configuration.WebAssetConfigurationSection, Telerik.Web.Mvc"/> </sectionGroup></configSections><telerik> <webAssets useTelerikContentDeliveryNetwork="true" /></telerik>

When you don't blog regularly, one of the biggest challenges is to find a good topic. With Twitter around, it becomes even more complicated for the people that are not regular bloggers. While I was waiting for something interesting to pop-up as a topic, 2009 almost passed and it gave me the needed opportunity. It feels as if I blinked and it's Christmas Season again.   Before I move on with my overview, on behalf of everyone at Telerik, I would like to wish you and your families a better 2010 – stay healthy, happy and lucky. Thank you for being a part of the...

I’m pleased to announce that with our upcoming service pack (Q3 SP2 – middle of January 2010) you will be able to plug your own scrolling logic for RadGridView for Silverlight. I’ve made small demo on how to page DomainDataSource using the grid vertical scrollbar with minimal coding effort:   … <riaControls:DomainDataSource x:Name="DomainDataSource1" QueryName="GetOrder_Details"> <riaControls:DomainDataSource.DomainContext> <web:NorthwindDomainContext /> </riaControls:DomainDataSource.DomainContext></riaControls:DomainDataSource><telerikGridView:RadGridView telerik:Theming.Theme="Summer" scrolling:CustomScrolling.DomainDataSource="{Binding ElementName=DomainDataSource1}" ItemsSource="{Binding Data, ElementName=DomainDataSource1}" IsBusy="{Binding IsLoadingData, ElementName=DomainDataSource1}"...
