    Client-side data-binding with RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX, WebServices and LINQ

    As a TRUE ASP.NET AJAX Control you have almost unlimited possibilities with RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX client-side API. I've spent ~ 30 minutes to create small and powerful demo with client-side data-binding to 1 mil. records using WebService and LINQ. No traditional post back/ajax requests to the same page, no ViewState - just pure JSON. To see the traffic between client and server you can use FireBug, HttpWatch, Fiddler or any other similar tool. Here is a small screenshot from FireBug: Enjoy! [Source code]

    Increasing the compression ratio of the XAP files

    Today I was hacking around with a Silverlight application and decided to check if it is possible to recompress its XAP file in order to save some bytes. As you might already know, the XAP files are just renamed ZIP files and you can open and view their contents with almost any archiver. I created a simple batch file that extracts an archive to a temp folder, deletes it and then compresses the extracted files into a new archive with the same name as the original (I am using the open source archiver 7-Zip, which was installed in its default location): @if...
