    How To: Populate RadGridView for Silverlight distinct filters asynchronously using WCF RIA Services

    With our upcoming service pack (Q3 2009 SP2) you will be able to populate distinct values asynchronously using the DistinctValuesLoading event. To achieve this you can assign any INotifyCollectionChanged collection for distinct values ItemsSource and RadGridView will update the UI immediately on any change. I’ve made small demo on how to achieve this using WCF RIA Services and RadGridView bound to DomainDataSource with DataPager – in this case the grid distinct values are populated from the entire collection server-side not only from the current downloaded page:   server-side: public List<DistinctValue> GetDistinctValues(string propertyName) { var list...

    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...

    How To: Custom scrolling with RadGridView for Silverlight and WCF RIA Services

    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. I’ve made small demo on how to page DomainDataSource using the grid vertical scrollbar with minimal coding effort:   … <riaControls:DomainDataSource x:Name="DomainDataSource1" QueryName="GetOrder_Details"> <riaControls:DomainDataSource.DomainContext> <web:NorthwindDomainContext /> </riaControls:DomainDataSource.DomainContext></riaControls:DomainDataSource><telerikGridView:RadGridView telerik:Theming.Theme="Summer" scrolling:CustomScrolling.DomainDataSource="{Binding ElementName=DomainDataSource1}" ItemsSource="{Binding Data, ElementName=DomainDataSource1}" IsBusy="{Binding IsLoadingData, ElementName=DomainDataSource1}"...
