Part one: Moving a child element from one parent to another 1. Problem The purpose of this post is to show one possible way to solve the following scenario. Having a Silverlight RadTreeView that loads its items from a database via WCF RIA services, we want to update the database immediately after a drag and drop operation has been performed within the RadTreeView. The drag and drop operation in this post will be moving a child element from one parent to another. Reordering items will be shown in a future post. 2.Design We will be using the MVVM Design Pattern.

So, you occasionally (or frequently) attend user group meetings. There is always that one ‘guy’ who organized the venue, arranged for a star speaker to come in, and even got pizza & pop. He/she collects the feedback forms after the meeting to send them off to INETA, and makes sure the meeting room is left in ‘presentable’ state so the user group doesn’t get kicked out of this meeting space. Updates of the group website are courtesy of this community champion…. In addition to incredible passion of your user group leader, did you ever wonder what is needed to run a...

With the upcoming Q1 2011 Beta release, we’ve decided to sugarcoat RadTreeView
and RadPanelBar
even more. With the release of Silverlight 3, Microsoft introduced
easing functions
which are basically “custom mathematical formulas to your animations. For example, you may want an object to realistically bounce or behave as though it were on a spring.” Incorporating easing functions within RadTreeView or RadPanelBar can be done using Telerik’s AnimationManager:
