    Fun with RadLoopingList: Creating a Numeric Picker with RadLoopingList - Introduction

    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.

    Using the TeamPulse Ideas & Feedback Portal on Your Smartphone or Tablet

    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 ...
