Application Library Caching in RadControls for Silverlight
As people become more aware of the fantastic things you can do with Silverlight, they’ve also realized one of the downsides of this can be increased XAP size. The default way that Silverlight handles a XAP is to include all the required assemblies into that single compressed file. This isn’t that bad when you’re working with a barebones Silverlight project, but once you start adding in different controls or 3rd party assemblies you are increasing your XAP size quite a bit in some cases. And as we all know, a larger XAP leads to longer load times, and although people have... -

Vertical Orientation of CoverFlow for Silverlight
The feedback about our new version of CoverFlow for Silverlight has been great! Thank you guys for pointing out all these small issues and problems that had to be polished since we introduced a new beta CoverFlow for Silverlight 3 back in September. After the core functionality of the control is successfully integrated in our Silverlight 3 suite, we are now able to start developing new features that every grown-up CoverFlow control should possess :) Vertical Orientation Both in our forum and support system we have received numerous requests for vertical orientation of the CoverFlow control.

Using Compass indicators properties for Telerik's Docking Control for Silverlight and WPF
Sometimes when using a Docking control and implementing complex UI with it we need to add some custom rules about allowing some panes to be docked in some parts of the application and to disallow them to dock to other parts. As this behavior is quite complex itself, we’ve decided to enable some scenarios to be available in XAML in a declarative way (the more static scenarios) and some scenarios to be available only through the code-behind. In this post I will guide you through some simple steps that will show you how you could use both approaches. First of all... -

How To: Easy print and print preview with RadGridView for WPF
Using FixedDocument, DocumentViewer and PrintDialog you can easily create your own print and/or print preview for RadGridView for WPF. I’ve made two extension methods Print() and PrintPreview() to illustrate how to turn the grid into a print friendly document in few lines of code: … public static void PrintPreview(this GridViewDataControl source) { var window = new Window() { Title = "Print Preview", Content = new DocumentViewer() ... -

Dynamic Query with Telerik OpenAccess
With the introduction of LINQ the concept of querying data became a first-class language construct in C# and Visual Basic. LINQ enables to you write type-safe queries which are checked during compile-time. While type-safe queries are fine for certain situations, there might be cases where you want to construct a query on the fly, at runtime, based on certain selections made by the user. This is usually done using a string-based representation of the query. How can this be achieved via LINQ? The LINQ team at Microsoft provides the Dynamic Query Library which extends the core LINQ API with capability to use...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

Silverlight/WPF : Custom Legend with RadChart
One of the less known features supported by Telerik’s RadChart for Silverlight/WPF is the ability to completely abandon the default control layout and build one of your own with no constraints for the number of elements used. The goal of this blog post is to shed some light on this functionality and to demonstrate the most common techniques that can be used to customize the legend. First of all, to build your own custom chart layout you should set the UseDefaultLayout property of the RadChart object to false. Here is the custom layout I prepared: <telerik:RadChart x:Name="RadChart1" UseDefaultLayout="False"> <Grid> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="50"/> <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="*"/> ...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

New release of Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC - now with CDN support
With the release of RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax Q3 2009 SP1 we introduced built-in CDN support. It was very logical that Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC receive some CDN love as well. Now this is a fact! Go download the current release from here (open source) or here (licensed). Enabling global CDN support from web.config Add the following XML in your web.config: <configSections> <sectionGroup name="telerik"> <section name="webAssets" type="Telerik.Web.Mvc.Configuration.WebAssetConfigurationSection, Telerik.Web.Mvc"/> </sectionGroup></configSections><telerik> <webAssets useTelerikContentDeliveryNetwork="true" /></telerik> -

2009 in review
When you don't blog regularly, one of the biggest challenges is to find a good topic. With Twitter around, it becomes even more complicated for the people that are not regular bloggers. While I was waiting for something interesting to pop-up as a topic, 2009 almost passed and it gave me the needed opportunity. It feels as if I blinked and it's Christmas Season again. Before I move on with my overview, on behalf of everyone at Telerik, I would like to wish you and your families a better 2010 – stay healthy, happy and lucky. Thank you for being a part of the... -

How To: Custom scrolling with RadGridView for Silverlight and WCF RIA Services
I’m pleased to announce that with our upcoming service pack (Q3 SP2 – middle of January 2010) you will be able to plug your own scrolling logic for RadGridView for Silverlight. I’ve made small demo on how to page DomainDataSource using the grid vertical scrollbar with minimal coding effort: … <riaControls:DomainDataSource x:Name="DomainDataSource1" QueryName="GetOrder_Details"> <riaControls:DomainDataSource.DomainContext> <web:NorthwindDomainContext /> </riaControls:DomainDataSource.DomainContext></riaControls:DomainDataSource><telerikGridView:RadGridView telerik:Theming.Theme="Summer" scrolling:CustomScrolling.DomainDataSource="{Binding ElementName=DomainDataSource1}" ItemsSource="{Binding Data, ElementName=DomainDataSource1}" IsBusy="{Binding IsLoadingData, ElementName=DomainDataSource1}"...
