Welcome back to XAMLflix. This week we’re looking at RadSparkline for Silverlight and WPF.

With the 2012 R3 Release, localization of the Ideas and Feedback Portal is as easy as editing a text file!

Built on Microsoft’s .NET Platform, TeamPulse takes full advantage of the localization features provided by the .NET Framework, allowing you to customize the Ideas and Feedback portal to the language that best meets your needs....
Overview RadControls for Windows Phone 7 completes the missing controls and functionalities from the UI Toolbox for Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone Toolkit.

A quick example of this is our RadDataBoundListBox compared to the ListBox offered in the Toolkit. Our control can handle hundreds of thousands of records without performance degradation....

Every Wednesday we publish a new tutorial based on the XAMLFlix video series. This gives you the same information as the video, but in a searchable text form. This week we are looking at RadDataBars.

RadDataBars come in three flavors: RadDataBar RadStackedDataBar RadStacked100DataBar The RadDataBar reflects a single value, typically as a horizontal bar. The RadStackedDataBar reflects a series of values and their relative sizes, one stacked upon another .
