    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 ...

    Once again the Telerik RadControls for Silverlight have been noticed, and in a big way!  During the fall DevConnections the judges looked long and hard at all of the ASP.Net and Silverlight control suites on the market and decided that our humble suite would be the winner.  Check the post here from 'Connections for the group shot of our our staff at the conference.
