Using Shapefiles with RadMap
Since the introduction of RadMap many customers have expressed a need to load shapefiles onto it. We are adding native support for shapefiles in the Q3 Release, along with vastly improving the performance of information, and dynamic layers. However, the beta is still a few weeks away, and I had a need for loading shapefiles this week, so I put this quick example together. How to do it Shapefile parsing in this demo is handled by the reader available in the ESRI Contrib project. When we make the Q3 release you will be able to switch over to our reader by changing about... -

RadChart for Silverlight in ASP.NET MVC Application
The purpose of this blog post is to show how to incorporate RadChart for Silverlight in an ASP.NET MVC application. Manol has already shown how to do this for ASP.NET and things are not much different for ASP.NET MVC. Let’s start with a simple Silverlight application with a single RadChart. For simplicity, I will populate it with a list of numbers, you can also use any of the techniques, supported by RadChart. The code is as simple as this XAML: <telerik:RadChart x:Name="RadChart1" /> And C#: RadChart1.ItemsSource = new double[] { 3d, 4d, 6d }; I will create two write-only properties of the Silverlight user control -- ShowItemLabels and SeriesType.

Using nested complex objects with ASP.NET MVC editor templates
This may be common knowledge but I failed to quickly find the relevant info when it hit me. In short the default editor template generated by ASP.NET MVC 2 ignores any nested complex properties of your model. Here is a short example which demonstrates the case: Model: public class Customer{ public int ID { get; set; } public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } public Address Address { get; set; }} public class Address{ public string Street { get; set; } public string City { get; set; }} Controller: public class HomeController : Controller{ // // GET: /Home/ public ActionResult Index() { return View(new Customer { ... -

How to: Databind Telerik’s ToolBar
In this post we will go through a scenario for databinding the RadToolBar control. Here is the end result: And the demo project with everything included: ToolBarMVVM.zip How to databind the ToolBar? The ToolBar is an ItemsControl and can be databound to any IEnumerable, but it is preferable to bind it to an observable collection since any changes in it will be reflected by the ToolBar. Since there is no ToolBarItem, because ToolBar may contain variety of other controls, we will use DataTemplateSelector class to help us determine the template for each item inside the ToolBar: public class ToolBarTemplateSelector : DataTemplateSelector { public override DataTemplate SelectTemplate(object item, DependencyObject container) { if (item... -
