    Windows Phone 7 MVVM #7 - RadGauge

    Today’s RadControls for Windows Phone 7 MVVM post is brought to you by the smart tag: Now of course you must be wondering why a smart tag is being highlighted?  Great question!  As part of the Telerik RadControls for Windows Phone 7 suite, RadGauge is an integral data visualization component that can be used to show a variety of different information with either a linear or radial gauge model.  Perhaps the best part about RadGauge is that our development team didn’t just publish a quick component with a few properties, rather this versatile control allows you to have as many or...

    RadChart for Windows Phone 7 gets interactivity richness

    Q2 2011 is approaching and we are doing our best to deliver an outstanding release with plenty of new features and improvements over the existing controls. We are most excited to announce that the BETA2 Q2 2011 release of our RadControls for Windows Phone 7 tools is publicly available. Knowing how important interactivity is for a mobile component, we put decent effort into adding rich user interaction responsiveness to our charting component. We implemented an extended “Behavior” semantic, which allows an arbitrary number of behaviors to be added to the chart and to provide specific functionality upon user input. Following are the...

    Does your Windows Phone 7 Chart Pan & Zoom?

    We believe that motion and interactivity are key parts of the whole Windows Phone 7 OS. That is why we put a lot of effort in implementing an intuitive and highly performing zooming and panning behavior for RadChart for WP7. We see many scenarios when a zoom is required – for example you may want to display large amount of data points – let’s say the monthly sales for a period of 10 years. In this case you may try to visualize all the 120 points within the device’s physical dimensions or you may apply a zoom to the chart...

    Windows Phone 7 MVVM #6 - RadChart

    I definitely hinted at a bit more visual of an example today in my last blog post in the Telerik Windows Phone 7 MVVM Series – so here we are today with the beta of RadChart for Windows Phone and a couple of examples of how these charts aren’t only insanely fast but easy to use for us developers.  We’ve been working with MVVM for a while now, so rather than taking any time to discuss the benefits of this approach or any related goodness, I want to jump right into the viewmodel first so that we can spend more time talking...
