    Metro UI for RadControls for Silverlight and WPF

    Windows 8 will bring exciting times to all application developers, especially those who will invest in creating the immersive applications we all saw in that video . We loved the tiles and the clean modern look and how they integrate perfectly within the UI. And I am guessing a lot of software will transition to new ways. As always Telerik will ease this process by providing its Silverlight and WPF offering with Metro UI Theme and kick start your Windows 8 development. The theme is built from the ground-up to accommodate all the best practices in Metro UI applications. Line of Business Ready

    PDF Export with RadChart for Silverlight

    Every now and then when discussing the RadChart export options with customers, we receive the inquiry whether it is possible to export the control to PDF as well.

    Using the Multiple Selection of the RadCalendar control for Silverlight and WPF with MVVM

    Developing and supporting MVVM applications is easy and effective. That's why we want to create MVVM applications that follow this pattern. Sometimes the controls we use have some limitations.
