PART III [example: Column Groups  A.K.A. Merged Column Headers]   Recently we have had a lots of requests for a feature referred as column groups / merged column headers / common headers for two or more columns - something like :   Here we have three ordinary columns ( L, W, H)  with regular column headers . There is also an additional common header – ‘Dimensions’ which spans over the three regular headers. Unfortunately RadGridView for Silverlight and WPF does not support this internally (yet).   The good news is that RadGridView is a flexible and easily extendable control so we can easily attach a new column grouping behavior....

If you are following the Telerik Reporting product closely you may already know that with the 2009 Q3 release we entered the Silverlight game. The industry's first native Silverlight Report Viewer allows you to display Telerik Reports in your Silverlight application while having all goodies that the Windows Forms and Web viewers offer. The new member of the report viewers' family sports report parameters, the new document map, true printing and export to all available formats, including PDF, Image (TIFF, PNG, JPEG, BMP, GIF), Microsoft Excel (XLS), Rich Text Format (RTF), HTML, CSV and the new XPS. And all this power wouldn't...

Today’s post will discuss one of the most interesting topics in LINQ to OpenAccess ORM and that is of course the proper use of the Fetch Plans functionality. If someone still wonders why Fetch Plans are so interesting when we talk about LINQ the answer is simple – they can boost the performance of your queries in times! When one decides to use a fetch plan he/she always defines one or more fetch groups that are going to be used as part of it. Those fetch groups are containing only the fields that we want to select when we...

Today i will show how to view that same report in Silverlight using the industry’s first native Silverlight report viewer. All of this is in the Telerik documentation, however, since we have our cool SQL Azure demo already up and running from yesterday, I figured it would be fun to show how to reuse the same report and view it in Silverlight. Getting Started Remember from yesterday that we have three projects in our solution: Telerik.Reporting.DAL-the class library project containing our OpenAccess entities (mapped back to SQL Azure tables) Telerik.Reporting.RptLib-the class library project containing...
