Integrating RadChart for Silverlight in existing ASP.NET applications
There’s an emerging trend to integrate cool new silverlight controls into existing production asp.net solutions. And why wouldn’t it be there? There are many asp.net applications in production out there that have been working quite well and don’t need to be replaced by a completely new technology. Wouldn’t it be nice, however, to spice them up a little with some rich silverlight visualization tools? This is exactly what a lot of our customers have been asking for lately. Well, here you can see some resources we published that will help anyone who wants to plug in RadChart for Silverlight in...May 19, 2009 -

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 -

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
