Hey Telerik Developers! I wanted to write a slightly out-of-band post to mention some of the speaking engagements that I will have over the next few months, covering a wide range of topics in the Silverlight and Windows Phone 7 space. First up, Telerik is pleased to host Expression Blend for Silverlight Developers, a one hour webinar being presented on October 21st aimed at helping the Telerik Developer Community (and for that matter, everyone using Silverlight, WPF, or Windows Phone 7) to learn a little bit more about Expression Blend and how it can fit into our daily development workflows.  You can...

Recently, while i was working with a support issue, I found this interesting piece of test code that i would like to share here. This is actually written by Stefan Lieser (clean code developer from Germany forwarded to me by Jan from Telerik Germany).

Hey Telerik Developer Community!  If you are in the northeastern US (or even further, if you look at the speakers!), then you probably spent this past Saturday afternoon at New England Code Camp 14 for a day jam packed with great topics and conversations. I was able to present Building a Unified Experience - Developing with Silverlight 4 and Windows Phone 7 at NECC and had a great time of it- the audience seemed to get into the talk as well with tons of questions regarding the framework, the future of WP7, and the launch that we all know is coming...

One of RadChart’s most powerful features is its support for DataBinding. This means that as long as you correctly format your data source, you shouldn’t have to write any backend code to support the generation of the chart. Using a data source with a control as powerful and complex as the RadChart can unfortunately be somewhat confusing. In this post, I’ll shed some light on one of the scenarios you are sure to come across, displaying incremental DateTime values from a data source in the X-Axis of RadChart. Setting Up the Data Source RadChart does not work directly with DateTime ...

I’ve made small example to illustrate how to use NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Replace in order to provide very fast real-time data update with RadGridView for Silverlight and WPF.    While Binding in both Silverlight and WPF will react immediately to any property change of INotifyPropertyChanged object and will update RadGridView cell values sometimes it is important to refresh the grid in order to update a sorting, filtering, grouping, etc. after some value change. To achieve your goal in such situation you have two options:   - listen for PropertyChanged of every item in the collection and raise NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Reset for the collection in order to tell the...
