    Using Silverlight's easing functions when expanding/collapsing items in TreeView and PanelBar

Virtualization The main feature, that I’m sure you’d like most is the UI Virtualization (delaying the creation of UI Elements).

    Grouping, sorting and filtering for Windows Phone 7 – what the options are?

    One of the most useful controls in Windows Phone 7 is the so called “JumpList” and its popup “Quick Jump Grid” UI – that is, according to the official Microsoft design guidelines, a “Way to help the user to scroll through long lists”. The First Look example of RadJumpList in our demo application Much like in Windows 7, the “quick jump grid” user experience enables you with fast navigation to a desired location within the associated list of items. In order to populate the jump grid with items, the underlying list should be grouped by some criteria. So, how do we...
