Applying Themes on RadControls for Silverlight
The theme engine of RadControls for Silverlight is quite powerful and provides the developers with the ability to apply application-wide theme on all RadControls, as well as specific theme on a single control. If the theme does not contain the needed styles, the controls fallback to their default styles, so you could create an application theme for just a couple of controls and the rest will display with their default styles. We also provide styles for the standard controls, such as Button, CheckBox, RadioButton, etc. which enables you to create application with consistent look and feel. Each theme is distributed as...May 18, 2009 -

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.

The principle is exactly the same with RadGridView and it should work with very minor adjustments with...May 18, 2009 -

Silverlight DragDrop Hello (Real) World Application
A Most Interesting Hello (Real) World Application Sometimes you can get away with a small application to show off some features. But dragging rectangles around is just not enough. You need a TreeView, you need a GridView, ListBox and a good user feedback. Why not place everything in a Docking Control? Some examples of DragDrop can be a bit unrealistic. You do not always have your elements defined in XAML. You cannot always have a reference to the containers you want to drag/drop. So we need to go a bit more real-world. What I tried to do is create a simple application that...May 15, 2009 -

At the beginning of Q2 we started several major initiatives and the results of them will start to appear soon (with the forthcoming SP2 release and Q2 2009).

The Beta release is scheduled for the end of this month. The RadScheduler for Silverlight Beta will be shipped with the Office Black theme that is the default theme for the official...May 13, 2009
