    RadControls for Silverlight Demo with ADO.NET Data Services

    Yesterday I wrote about how to databind RadTreeView for Silverlight to ADO.NET Data Service and use Load on Demand. The simple application from yesterday was upgraded to a small back-end application for the Northwind database, that allows editing and deleting products. This time I decided to give it to one of our designers and our new Silverlight front end developer and they implemented this slick design: The application is available online: http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/northwindbackend/Default.aspx The source code can be downloaded from here: NorthwindBackend.zip In addition to yesterday's application, NorthwindBackend has extended data source, that provides simple undo mechanism and ability to update and delete products...

    Telerik RadGrid client-side data-binding using jQuery

    Instead of traditional ASP.NET AJAX approach for "Exposing Web Services to Client Script" you can use jQuery and JSON2 JavaScript libraries to achieve the same very easily.

    Silverlight TreeView Load on Demand

    Today I created a really simple application that demonstrates "best practice" for using RadTreeView with load on demand and ADO.NET Data Service. The application uses the Northwind database, that can be downloaded here. The tricky part is that in order to create almost codeless application we need to modify the automatically generated code of the service reference. To do that you will need to show all files in the Silverlight application (click the Show All Files in the Solution Explorer title bar) and then open Reference.cs: In this file replace all occurrences of "System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection" with "System.Collections.ObjectModel.ObservableCollection". This probably will be changed in...
