    Page Transitions for WP7 - Sample application

    Telerik Page Transitions for WP7 sample code With the first CTP of Telerik RadControls for Windows Phone 7 we introduced the page transitions. You can read more info about them in my blog post. Now with the beta1 release we created a sample application which you can use as a reference in order to add the Metro transitions into your application. Check the video screencast of the sample application here. The sample application is based on a design of a ToDo application. We are showing the more complex transitions. We have examples for:  - Tile transition,  - Continuum transition,  - Slide and Swivel transition,  - Turnstile and slide transition.  Apart from...

    Using RadControls to Build Windows Phone 7 Applications Webinar Follow-up

    RadJumpList for WP7: Part III - Performance with large data

    Download the sample project In the previous two posts I explained the e basic usage and the support for dynamic sorting/filtering and grouping in RadJumpList. Now it is time(1) to see how the control behaves with large data sets. It is unlikely that in an average Windows Phone 7 application you will need to show more that 1,000-2,000 items, but we decided to test the performance under extreme conditions with a large set of 10,000 items. The setup of the example is pretty simple - we are generating 5k items on the fly and them bind the JumpList control to the data set. In the sample you can...

    RadJumpList for WP7: Part II - Dynamic Sort, Filter and Group

    Download the sample code of the example. In my previous post I explained the basic usage of the RadJumpList control and how to display the data by using declarative sort and group descriptors. Now in part two you will see how to give your users the ability to modify the sorting, grouping and filtering on the fly. There is no out of the box UI for these data operations provided in this version of the control. We are still not sure what will be the preferred way of implementing this from a UX perspective and how to align it with the Metro guidelines. So for the moment we...

    RadJumpList for WP7: Part I - Introduction and Simple usage

    Download the source code of the example Last week we released our first beta of the Telerik Windows Phone 7 control toolkit. One of the new controls there is RadJumpList. It is a fundamental control for building data driven WP7 applications. We invested a lot into our data engine story - we have our own internal CollectionViewSource implementation which allows you to sort, filter and group your data with a single line of code (more on the data engine in this in-depth blog post). Apart from the data engine we also built a high performance ListBox control. RadDataBoundListBox is a virtualized ListBox control which has two major features: can display...
