    WPF RadDocking Overview

    It’s been a while since the Q3 2009 release. Lots of controls have been added in our toolbox for WPF. One of them is considered as a final official release of RadDocking control for WPF. We have made a lot of improvements since the last release of the controls. For example each of the six themes included in the bundle now has different type of appearance when applied to a control. RadDocking is a fully customizable and skinnable control that enhances the power of a layout system. It is providing you with a docking system like the one in Microsoft Visual Studio. You are getting the dockable ToolWindows, a hidden DockingManager control, and a designer to easily create attractive layouts. It is good to mention that the WPF RadDocking code is absolutely compatible with its Silverlight counterpart.

    Making a Step chart in RadChart for Silverlight and WPF

    So a customer emailed into our office yesterday asking about whether RadChart for Silverlight supported a Step chart type.  Well, while we do have a boatload of chart types already, Step is currently not one of them.  But a Step chart is really just a Line chart with a bit of extra work, right?  With the help of our chart wizard Manol, we were able to show that the LineSeriesDefinition could, in fact, replicate a Step chart.  But that was with setting all points manually and took a bit of thinking to make sure all the steps looked right.  So...
