    The Story of the Ribbon so far and to come...

    The ribbon (or RadRibbonBar, as we have named it) is among the most tempting-to-use looking and yet somewhat neglected controls. True, it has received some Microsoft love with being the core command component in the Office suite, as well as being more deeply integrated in the soon-to-be-released Windows8, but overall it's not been used that much. Main reason being “why use it”. That, by the way, is an excellent question. So why use the ribbon? To answer that, let's first analyse the control and its purpose: it looks like a tabbed command area; a tabbed toolbar if you will. For the most part,...

Today I want to continue this series and cover another useful aspect of web development tools – the Scripts tab. This tab not only allows you to inspect all of the JavaScript that has been downloaded to the client, it also allows you to...

    Windows 8 & Data Binding. Part 5–Binding to Lists

    In Part 4 of this mini-series on data binding we looked at Data Conversion.  Today we look at binding a UI Element to a list of objects. The trick in binding to a list, is to teach the control how to display the bound data. It needs to know how to display each object in the list – what properties of the object should be displayed and how should they appear? You do this most often with a DataTemplate – a template that will be reproduced for each member of the collection. In the next example we create an Employee class. Each Employee...
