    Frozen / Pinned rows in RadGridView for Silverlight

    A common UX pattern when working with large tabular data is the so called frozen rows or pinned rows. This is very popular in the spreadsheet world and in some text editors as well.     I have tried to resemble this behavior with RadGridView for Silverlight. The user may pin a row thus preventing it from vertical scrolling. This way important items may be kept inside the viewport regardless the position of the vertical scrollbar. Pinned items remain on top for easy access.   Adding this behavior to RadGridView is simple and painless: <telerik:RadGridView x:Name="RadGridView1" > <i:Interaction.Behaviors> <local:FrozenRowsBehavior/> </i:Interaction.Behaviors> </telerik:RadGridView>   These lines should be all the XAML needed to enable it....

    Silverlight Upload control just got better

    We are now in the middle between the Beta release of the Q2.2010 and the official one which will be available for download very soon. For the ones that missed the beta release - see the silverlight samples online. One of the major tasks for my team was to optimize the way the Rad Upload component for Silverlight is working. We separated our work in two main directions - improve the performance of the control and take advantage of the Silverlight4 features. The most requested feature from Silverlight 4 was to integrate the drag and drop support from the file system into the Rad Upload. Now...

    Debugging Silverlight with Firefox 3.6.4

    Today Mozilla released FireFox 3.6.4, and in the new version plugins are isolated in their own process.  As such,  the VS debugger attaches to “firefox.exe” instead of the new process FireFox creates named “plugin-container.exe” when you start debugging a silverlight application.  There are 2 fairly easy fixes.   Fix 1 Manually attach the visual studio debugger to “plugin-container.exe”   Fix 2  This involves changing Firefox’s config, and really should only be done to ease silverlight debugging until a proper fix is released. Type "about:config" into FF's address bar Accept the warning (if applicable) Search for the entry "dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll" Change its value from "true" to "false" (double-click)...
