    Techniques for Creating a Hierarchical RadGridView for WinForms

    Update (10/8/2010): With the Q2 2010 release, a few things changed in RadGridView's API. Most notably, the MasterGridViewTemplate property has been deprecated and replaced with the MasterTemplate property. Due to this, and other changes, I've decided to update this blog entry to contain the latest available information. A while back, I posted a video on Telerik TV explaining the different techniques you can use to create a hierarchical RadGridView (Please note that the video was recorded prior to Q2, so there may be a few minor differences between the RadGridView in the video and the one that is currently ...

    Twitter Authentication with TweetSharp and WinForms

    A few weeks ago, I decided to spend some more time experimenting with the Twitter API and TweetSharp. If you missed my last blog entry about it, you can access it here. Last time I focused on creating a simple UserControl for ASP.NET that displayed recent tweets. It didn’t require any authentication and was actually quite simple to implement. This time around, I wanted to create a RadControls for WinForms based application that retrieved information about my accounts followers. This type of information is unfortunately not publically accessible through the API. You actually need to authenticate and log ...

    Displaying Incremental DateTime Values in the X-Axis of RadChart

    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 ...

    RadGridView for WinForms – Getting Started with Virtual Mode

    Every once in a while, someone asks me "What’s the best way to bind 1,000,000+ records to RadGridView?” The first thought that pops into my head is, “Why in the world would you want to do that?” But – as there is always a reason for everything, good or bad, I typically go ahead and answer this question by suggesting the use of Virtual Mode. Virtual Mode allows you to implement your own data management operations for RadGridView. This means, instead of setting radGridView1.DataSource = bagillions of objects, you can intelligently manage how objects are loaded and cached ...
