    How To: Display RadGridView Row Details with RadWindow for Silverlight

    In one of my previous blog posts I have explained how to display hierarchical data with Row Details. Now, if you are familiar with Row Details features, you know that you are not limited to showing the details inside RadGridView. You can show them anywhere by using the handy external DetailsPresenter. As a matter of fact, each GridViewRow has one of those DetailsPresenter’s inside its template. So you will be using the same class that we are using internally to show the details of each single row. The documentation states that in order to display Row Details outside RadGridView, you need to place...

    Quick and painless Byte Array to Image converter for RadGridView for Silverlight

    We received a question today in regards to a binding issue with RadGridView, or rather an issue with an Image in a custom cell template that the customer was trying to bind to a custom value.  They had the basic setup right: <DataTemplate>    <Image Source="{Binding ImageData}" /> </DataTemplate> But something wasn't quite working right.  After doing a little digging, we found that they weren't sending a URI to the Image but rather a byte array.  Unfortunately, the Image control in Silverlight doesn't quite know how to pick up on this so you need to convince it- with a converter. With a little bit of coding...
