    Using Silverlight Upload control with ASP.NET MVC

    [Download the complete final project] We got a customer inquiry today about how to integrate the Telerik Silverlight Upload control within an ASP.NET MVC site.

    RadGridView for Silverlight and WCF RIA Services Part II: Basic Editing Support

    In my previous blog post I have demonstrated how to display master-details data in an asynchronous manner with RadGridView for Silverlight and WCF RIA Services. I have decided to refactor the sample project a little bit and add some very basic editing support. Here is the changes I have made to the sample project: I have recreated the ChinookService to support editing. I have encapsulated the details grid into a new user control called AlbumsControl. I have added a “Submit Changes” button below the details grid. I got rid of the IValueConverter that used to create the albums DomainDataSource and defined everything in...
