    Application Library Caching in RadControls for Silverlight

    As people become more aware of the fantastic things you can do with Silverlight, they’ve also realized one of the downsides of this can be increased XAP size.  The default way that Silverlight handles a XAP is to include all the required assemblies into that single compressed file.  This isn’t that bad when you’re working with a barebones Silverlight project, but once you start adding in different controls or 3rd party assemblies you are increasing your XAP size quite a bit in some cases.  And as we all know, a larger XAP leads to longer load times, and although people have...

    I’m pleased to announce that with our upcoming service pack (Q3 SP2 – middle of January 2010) you will be able to plug your own scrolling logic for RadGridView for Silverlight.

    Telerik RadMap for Silverlight – OpenStreetMap provider

    RadMap_OpenStreetMap.zip I am glad to announce that with the release of RadControls for Silverlight Q3 2009 Service Pack 1 RadMap has been updated to support OpenStreetMap provider. It is as easy as setting a single property: MyRadMap.Provider = new OpenStreetMapProvider();   Set the Center and Location properties and you are ready to go. Here is an example of RadMap with our Boston office address in the center: <map:RadMap x:Name="RadMap1" ZoomLevel="13">     <map:RadMap.Provider>         <mapNamespace:OpenStreetMapProvider />     </map:RadMap.Provider>     <map:RadMap.Center>             <mapNamespace:Location Latitude="42.397223" Longitude="-71.254685" />      </map:RadMap.Center> </map:RadMap>    And this is the result   You can find a link to a sample project in the beginning of this blog...
