TileView new feature: Maximized item docking
With the Q1 2011 the RadTileView will support a couple of new features. One of them is the Windows 7 like docking for maximizing an item. To use this feature will be easy and intuitive. The first thing you'll have to do is turn it on using the IsDockingEnabled property, then drag an item to the desired maximize position(note that depending on the position a respective MaximizeArea will appear) and drop it there. Example Here I'll show you how to create a simple RadTileView with docking. First let's add a RadTileView, some DataTemplates and styles for the RadTileView and the RadTileViewItems: <Grid.Resources> <DataTemplate x:Key="itemTemplate"> <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"> <TextBlock Text="Item" /> <TextBlock Text="{Binding...February 10, 2011 -

Virtualized TileView for Silverlight and WPF, different sizes, automatic scrolling and much more.

It is sleek, fast and more responsive than ever and it brings a whole set of new features and functionality to the table. Download and play with the new bits . Virtualization The main feature, that I’m sure you’d like most is the UI Virtualization (delaying the creation of UI Elements). We implemented it in both tiling scenarios: Restored – this includes both directions - Horizontal and Vertical . It means that if you have 10 columns x 1000 rows you'll get 10 000 tiles and you’ll see both scrollbars....February 10, 2011 -

RadJumpList for WP7: Part I - Introduction and Simple usage
Download the source code of the example Last week we released our first beta of the Telerik Windows Phone 7 control toolkit. One of the new controls there is RadJumpList. It is a fundamental control for building data driven WP7 applications. We invested a lot into our data engine story - we have our own internal CollectionViewSource implementation which allows you to sort, filter and group your data with a single line of code (more on the data engine in this in-depth blog post). Apart from the data engine we also built a high performance ListBox control. RadDataBoundListBox is a virtualized ListBox control which has two major features: can display...February 09, 2011 -

Grouping, sorting and filtering for Windows Phone 7 – what the options are?
One of the most useful controls in Windows Phone 7 is the so called “JumpList” and its popup “Quick Jump Grid” UI – that is, according to the official Microsoft design guidelines, a “Way to help the user to scroll through long lists”. The First Look example of RadJumpList in our demo application Much like in Windows 7, the “quick jump grid” user experience enables you with fast navigation to a desired location within the associated list of items. In order to populate the jump grid with items, the underlying list should be grouped by some criteria. So, how do we...February 08, 2011 -

Reflections on the .NET world

The “Decompile” command is available inside metadata .cs files and you can run it both for members: (the above command does this) and for entire types: Want to learn more?

Online demo for Windows Phone 7 Gauges
Last week we officially published our first Beta release of the Rad Controls for Windows Phone 7. One of the major new components in this Beta release is our first data visualization entry - RadGauge. You can read more info about RadGauge in the announcement blog post. What we did right after the beta release is to make sure that RadGauge can be seen online - hosted in-browser. As you know the WP7 platform is based on the Silverlight 3 framework and this means that with very little changes we can show our WP7 controls hosted inside the browser. This is what we did -...February 07, 2011 -

Gauge components for Windows Phone beta
The first beta release for our Windows Phone controls is here and along with the jump-list, super-fast list box, data engine and the mandatory controls polish we also managed to squeeze in some completely new gauge components. The gauges for windows phone more closely resemble a miniature library of classes rather than single reusable components because there are so many properties to tweak. It makes no sense to try and encapsulate all of this flexibility in a single object with some properties. During the design-phase of the gauges a few questions popped up the most important of which is, of course, what exactly...February 04, 2011 -
