WPF RadDocking Overview
It’s been a while since the Q3 2009 release. Lots of controls have been added in our toolbox for WPF. One of them is considered as a final official release of RadDocking control for WPF. We have made a lot of improvements since the last release of the controls. For example each of the six themes included in the bundle now has different type of appearance when applied to a control. RadDocking is a fully customizable and skinnable control that enhances the power of a layout system. It is providing you with a docking system like the one in Microsoft Visual Studio. You are getting the dockable ToolWindows, a hidden DockingManager control, and a designer to easily create attractive layouts. It is good to mention that the WPF RadDocking code is absolutely compatible with its Silverlight counterpart.December 07, 2009 -

Programmatic Initialization of Report Parameter Values in Telerik Reporting Silverlight Viewer
Usually one may control the report appearance and the data it displays through report parameters. The Silverlight report viewer, just like the other two, offers built-in user interface that enables end users to interact with the reports. Still there are cases when one may further need to control the report definition according to a custom logic that runs in the client application. However, since we have introduced the Silverlight Report Viewer the greatest challenge our clients have faced is that there is no direct access to the report definition in the Silverlight application. To provide the ability to specify the parameter...December 07, 2009 -

Adding additional power to RadGridView for Silverlight with attached behaviors
PART III [example: Column Groups A.K.A. Merged Column Headers] Recently we have had a lots of requests for a feature referred as column groups / merged column headers / common headers for two or more columns - something like : Here we have three ordinary columns ( L, W, H) with regular column headers . There is also an additional common header – ‘Dimensions’ which spans over the three regular headers. Unfortunately RadGridView for Silverlight and WPF does not support this internally (yet). The good news is that RadGridView is a flexible and easily extendable control so we can easily attach a new column grouping behavior....December 04, 2009 -
