    Windows Phone 7 MVVM #3 - More RadJumpList

    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...

When you execute a LINQ query to fetch some objects from the database there are quite a few things that take place in the background before you actually get back the result.

    Twitter Chat on JustDecompile – Join the Beta Conversation!

    At TechEd North America 2011 yesterday, we officially announced the Beta launch of JustDecompile – a powerful .NET decompiler, which we are committed to keeping free, forever, for everyone.
