    How to enable keyboard support in the RadFileExplorer for ASP.NET AJAX

    With the newest version already out, I am happy to present you the latest accessibility improvements of our RadFileExplorer control from the ASP.NET AJAX suite.

Simply focus the FileExplorer, navigate to the grid or treeview using the [Shift+]Tab key, select the desired folder with the Arrow keys and press Delete. A popup dialog asks you to confirm the deletion. Hit Enter to delete, or Esc to cancel.       This was just an example of a common scenario, that could be carried out using the keyboard only.

    RadGridView for Silverlight and WPF performance compared to Silverlight and WPF DataGrid

    Just before our upcoming Q1 2011 release (next week) I’ve decided to check RadGridView performance compared to standard Silverlight and WPF DataGrid components and to test this I’ve declared a TabControl with two tabs - RadGridView in the first tab and a standard DataGrid in the second. Both grids are bound to collection with 1 million records. Having a collection with 1 million objects with many properties (for example 1000 properties) will consume a lot of memory and the creation will be insanely slow and that is why I’ve decided to turn off auto-generated columns for both grids and add desired...

    How to Synchronize RadTreeView`s Drag and Drop Operation with the Database

    Part one: Moving a child element from one parent to another 1. Problem     The purpose of this post is to show one possible way to solve the following scenario. Having a Silverlight RadTreeView that loads its items from a database via WCF RIA services, we want to update the database immediately after a drag and drop operation has been performed within the RadTreeView. The drag and drop operation in this post will be moving a child element from one parent to another. Reordering items will be shown in a future post. 2.Design     We will be using the MVVM Design Pattern. Let’s take a close look...
