    Since Q1 2011 several changes were made to the RadMap improving it's functuonality - multiple providers added, support for culture settings to the map sources, own set of commands shown in every provider's CommandBar and etc. The RadMap provider architecture implemented in Q1 2011 release became not backwards-compatible with previous versions of the control. For RadMap's Custom Provider version 2011 Q1 and later, please refer to this blog post.   Currently the RadMap control supports a few providers: · Bing Maps · OpenStreet Maps (also described in Vesselin’s blogpost) · Empty Provider This blogpost will demonstrate how to create a custom map provider.

    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...

    Highlighting Adjacent Points with RadChart for WPF

    There are times when we run into a scenario in which we need point selection on a chart.  Luckily, RadChart for WPF and Silverlight already has this feature - but what if you need to find the closest point to where you selected on a chart?  And what if you have multiple chart series that you are doing this with?  Normally, this would be a bit of a challenge as this involves figuring out where the user clicked, what is around it, etc. Luckily for us, we have charting wizards like Manol Donev on our team and an aggressive release cycle here at Telerik. The...

    MVC3 and Grid Hierarchy

    In my last blog post I did a quick overview of the Razor ViewEngine and showed a few examples of the new syntax working with the Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC.  If you haven’t read over the blog post yet I recommend that you do before you continue reading this one, especially if you are not familiar with the Razor ViewEngine yet.
