    Pre-filtering RadGridView for Silverlight

    First Look at RadBook for Silverlight

    I am glad to announce the addition of one more control to our Silverlight suite. The control is called RadBook and it is a page-flip type of control that allows browsing through a set of items as if flipping the pages of a book. RadBook inherits System.Windows.Controls.ItemsControl, which allows you to turn any type of content into a RadBook's page. The main features of RadBook are: Ability to template every page by using LeftPageTemplate, RightPageTemplate, LeftPageTemplateSelector and RightPageTemplateSelector. Ability to change the way a page is flipped i.e. flip a page on a single click, double click or simply forbid page flipping. Ability to define...
