    Telerik Commanding mechanism for Silverlight Overview

    Q2 and Q3 releases brought up support for commands usable in a similar way as the commanding mechanism from WPF. In a few points the Commanding mechanism provides several classes: RoutedCommand and RoutedUICommand – ICommand implementations, the second has a Text property ICommandSource – once an object implement it, it knows how to invoke a command, i.e. it receives Command, CommandParameter and CommandTarget properties. CommandBinding – maps the command logic to the command CommandManager – provides methods that register CommandBinding and InputBinding objects, add and remove command event handlers, and provides services for querying the status of a command. Creating a command Basically, we can implement the...

    Asynchronous Master-Details with RadGridView for Silverlight and WCF RIA Services

    Inspired by Brad Abrams’ marvelous series of blog posts, I have decided to create a simple project demonstrating how to harness the enormous power of RIA Services with Telerik RadGridView for Silverlight. I have decided to use the new Chinook database after reading this wonderful post by Tim Heuer explaining how to work with relational data in the RIA Services paradigm. Make sure you have this database installed on the default instance of your SQL Server 2008 Express or you will have to modify the connection string as needed. In one of my previous blog posts I have thoroughly explained How To Display Hierarchical Data with...

    Vertical Orientation of CoverFlow for Silverlight

        The feedback about our new version of CoverFlow for Silverlight has been great! Thank you guys for pointing out all these small issues and problems that had to be polished since we introduced a new beta CoverFlow for Silverlight 3 back in September. After the core functionality of the control is successfully integrated in our Silverlight 3 suite, we are now able to start developing new features that every grown-up CoverFlow control should possess :) Vertical Orientation     Both in our forum and support system we have received numerous requests for vertical orientation of the CoverFlow control.

    Using Compass indicators properties for Telerik's Docking Control for Silverlight and WPF

    Sometimes when using a Docking control and implementing complex UI with it we need to add some custom rules about allowing some panes to be docked in some parts of the application and to disallow them to dock to other parts. As this behavior is quite complex itself, we’ve decided to enable some scenarios to be available in XAML in a declarative way (the more static scenarios) and some scenarios to be available only through the code-behind.   In this post I will guide you through some simple steps that will show you how you could use both approaches. First of all...

    Silverlight/WPF : Custom Legend with RadChart

      One of the less known features supported by Telerik’s RadChart for Silverlight/WPF is the ability to completely abandon the default control layout and build one of your own with no constraints for the number of elements used. The goal of this blog post is to shed some light on this functionality and to demonstrate the most common techniques that can be used to customize the legend. First of all, to build your own custom chart layout you should set the UseDefaultLayout property of the RadChart object to false. Here is the custom layout I prepared: <telerik:RadChart x:Name="RadChart1" UseDefaultLayout="False">             <Grid>                 <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>                     <ColumnDefinition Width="50"/>                     <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>                 </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>                 <Grid.RowDefinitions>                     <RowDefinition Height="*"/>                    ...
