    Just Another Way to Visualize Your Data Using RadTreeView for Silverlight

    For the past couple of days I've been playing with the way RadTreeView renders its items. To be honest, I wasn't looking for any particular outcome. I was doing it just for fun, hoping that something interesting might come out. And it did. I ended up with something quite interesting and it would be a shame not to share it. Bellow are few screenshots which show the TreeView from its initial state to the point where its deepest item is expanded. Note: I do lack certain designer skills :) The TreeView is bound to an XML data source which has the following...

    Telerik Supports SharePoint Saturday in Australia

    This weekend, Telerik sponsored the SharePoint Saturday event in Brisbane, Australia (#SPSBNE). The terrible day of Rapture (Thousands said goodbye to family and friends ahead of 6pm Saturday deadline) was on this day and it was all over the news. So I was a bit worried if I should spend the last day of the world here, but Mike Rhodes had said we had lots of great speakers and I was looking forward to meeting them.  Figure: I could not resist the temptation to see those speakers The day started out with a bang and it went from strength to strength. I found it was...

    Tech-Ed Is A Wrap, and it was Awesome

I was also busy working the “Ask the Architect” booth in the Microsoft Technical Learning Center, and I gave two Birds of a Feather sessions, and both were a great success. Agile Development: Can it Work For Everyone This session I gave in conjunction with Mario Cardinal, another thought leader in the agile space. ...

    Picking up where we left off in the previous post, we are working in a new project that will accommodate all of the controls we highlight throughout this entire series, with the hub of our navigation being a RadJumpList instance.  The next step we have is to add some style to our RadJumpList in order to both take advantage of the built-in functionality and to make it look like a more inviting navigation experience. Step 1 – Adding an ItemTemplate One of the huge advantages of any listbox-type control is the ability to style the individual items.  RadJumpList is no different, allowing...

To see what is included in this wrap up, visit the quick links below: RELEASE NOTES / LIVE DEMOS / ONLINE DOCUMENTATION TRIAL DOWNLOAD / PAID DOWNLOAD Although there is nothing flashy in this service pack, there a few noticeable additions/improvements that are worth to be mentioned explicitly, hence I am giving them in a "digested" form: AsyncUpload - added functionality to set TemporaryFolder globally using the appSettings section in web.config Calendar - added a quick option to enable Today's day highlighting via RadCalendar's SmartTag Grid - introduced a new property (RadGrid.ClientSettings.DataBinding.ShowEmptyRowsOnLoad) to provide the option to hide empty data...
