Saving some lines of code when using RadWindow
If you are using some of the predefined modal dialogs part of RadWindow: Alert, Prompt and Confirm you may find this article quite handy. As you know the calls to these methods are asynchronous, thus you cannot stop the current UI thread in order to get the user feedback from the windows synchronously. This introduces some issues such as the need to declare class member variables whenever they may not be necessary.

Recently we received several requests for an example, demonstrating how to put a virtualized GridView in a ComboBox popup. The best way to do this in my opinion is to replace the ItemsPresenter of the ComboBox with a GridView.
