Along with the Service Pack of RadControls for Silverlight Q2 we released an update of the free test automation solution, the WebAii Testing Framework. There are additions, fixes and improvements in all the components including the core WebAii, WebAii RadControls for Silverlight and ASP.NET AJAX. With this post I’d like to bring your attention to the latest addition to our Silverlight controls wrappers – the RadHtmlPlaceholder one. As you probably know, the control itself is a pretty useful component part of the RadControls for Silverlight suite.

Calling DoDragDrop() immediately changes the mouse pointer and readies the RadListBox for the drag-and-drop operation. Originally, I had tried calling this function in the MouseDown event, but this lead to unpredictable clunky behavior due to the fact that DoDragDrop() was getting called before I had the chance to ...

Often we need to display in a TreeView flat, self-referencing data, loaded from a database, that has properties ID and ParentID (or similar) that define the hierarchy.
