A few weeks ago we received a support ticket from a customer using RadControls for Windows Phone 7 who wanted to use RadLoopingList to create a control that will allow the end-user to pick numbers in the range 0.00 – 99.99. The requirement was that each decimal position should be represented by a looping list allowing for selection between all digits from 0 to 9. We managed to quickly set up a small WP7 project that demonstrates how this can be done with RadLoopingList and helped our customer in creating a control that looks this way: Since this scenario could prove useful...
Last week we posted a primer on the DataSource and Models that are available in the Beta 2 release. The post showed some basic operations with the models. Today we follow up with a more in-depth look at the DataSource doing actual CRUD operations and generating views. Views In...
I love mobile computing. A lot of innovation has emerged in this area lately with Microsoft's WP7 Mango, Apple's iOS 5 and Google's Ice Cream Sandwich all making waves in the last few months. The devices that these operating systems power have become an important part of many people's daily routine. I myself just recently spent close to 1,000 dollars on a new smartphone, justifying it to my spouse by arguing that I spend more time on my phone then I do on my computer (Not quite true, but let's keep that our little secret, shall we?). The great thing ...
Once again the Telerik RadControls for Silverlight have been noticed, and in a big way!

So as one of the Xaml Evangelists here at Telerik I put together a short...

The last time we all got together we were discussing some of the options available to us while utilizing RadGridView. Utilizing built-in functionality we could easily add pre-defined grouping to our grid as well as set custom cell styles and rules for what template will display, all without leaving our Xaml. This week, we’re going to look at another major control that is being utilized in the CRM demo to help keep track of activities – RadScheduleView. This control is used across the modules of the application for activities display, plus due to the architecture of the...
Oh boy, should we call this one MetroUI for WinForms? It’s your call… If you have been following Telerik’s Windows Forms roadmap, you probably have noticed that we plan to introduce several cool and requested features, which however do not match the latest design patterns in the IT world. Did you really think that we were going to introduce just these features? Did you? Well, you are wrong. :-) With the introduction of the Windows 8 preview at the /BUILD// conference, it became clear that Microsoft will push the Metro design concept to all of its products. We welcome this stance! The...
Telerik JustCode has tons of features available directly from your keyboard, and memorizing all the shortcuts can be quite a daunting task. We have made it easier to find these commands through Key Mappings, available from the JustCode menu or through the Ctrl+Shift+/ shortcut.
