    How to display data from different tables using one data source

    In many cases our customers that use Telerik OpenAccess ORM face the need to rapidly change the source table from which they are displaying data. For example you can have a RadGrid filled with customers on the start of your application and whenever a certain customer is selected you can change the displayed data in the grid with the Orders for the given customer (note that in such case the data will be taken from two different tables – Customers and Orders). But do you need two datasource controls to do this? The simple answer is NO. You can achieve this...

    Continuous Integration with WebAii for Silverlight, NUnit and CruiseControl.NET

    Who says automated functional tests cannot be a part of a Continuous Integration system? Or do you miss the proper tools?

    Quick and painless Byte Array to Image converter for RadGridView for Silverlight

    We received a question today in regards to a binding issue with RadGridView, or rather an issue with an Image in a custom cell template that the customer was trying to bind to a custom value.  They had the basic setup right: <DataTemplate>    <Image Source="{Binding ImageData}" /> </DataTemplate> But something wasn't quite working right.  After doing a little digging, we found that they weren't sending a URI to the Image but rather a byte array.  Unfortunately, the Image control in Silverlight doesn't quite know how to pick up on this so you need to convince it- with a converter. With a little bit of coding...
