    Rating column for RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX

    Here is yet another handy column type coming for RadGrid. The GridRatingColumn will show a RadRating control for every data item in your RadGrid, both in view and edit mode. GridRatingColumn will support 2 modes of interaction. In the standard mode, GridRatingColumn will behave like an ordinary editable column. It will display a read-only RadRating control when the item is in view mode and an editable RadRating control when in edit mode.

    Embedding YouTube video in RadListView for ASP.NET AJAX

Depending on your goal, you can control the player via JavaScript code or you can just embed a static object. In the latter case you will need something like this: 1: <object width="425" height="344"> 2: <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QT0e5XqNZdo&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"></param> ...

    Calculated column in RadGridView for Silverlight + math expressions

    When the data layer does not allow to perform calculations we often need to harness the UI. Here is a a simple case  - in our business object we have the Price and the Count properties. We will have RadGridView to calculate the Total  for us in a calculated column.   Please download this sample project   If you peek into the sample project you will notice we are using a pretty standard Silverlight approach : We bind the value of the calculated column with a Binding Converter : <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Total" Background="Bisque" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Converter={StaticResource CalculatingConverter}}" TextAlignment="Right" />   The calculation “logic” is in the Convert method of CalculatingConverter.cs   public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) ...
