    Embedding YouTube video in RadListView for ASP.NET AJAX

    Have you ever thought of embedding a YouTube video in the context of a data-bound control? Recently, a client of ours asked for such a demo and this inspired me to create a code-library project that features this scenario and uses RadListView for ASP.NET AJAX as ‘videos host’. Depending on your goal, you can control the player via JavaScript code or you can just embed a static object. In the latter case you will need something like this: 1: <object width="425" height="344"> 2: <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QT0e5XqNZdo&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"></param> ...

    Calculated column in RadGridView for Silverlight + math expressions

    When the data layer does not allow to perform calculations we often need to harness the UI. Here is a a simple case  - in our business object we have the Price and the Count properties. We will have RadGridView to calculate the Total  for us in a calculated column.   Please download this sample project   If you peek into the sample project you will notice we are using a pretty standard Silverlight approach : We bind the value of the calculated column with a Binding Converter : <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Total" Background="Bisque" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Converter={StaticResource CalculatingConverter}}" TextAlignment="Right" />   The calculation “logic” is in the Convert method of CalculatingConverter.cs   public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) ...

    Cascading ComboBoxes Selection in RadGridView for Silverlight and WPF

      A common scenario when entering data is a cascade of comboboxes, where the list in the next combo is populated after selecting a value in the previous. A typical example is selecting a country from a combo then selecting from a filtered list of cities in a second combo. We have had tons of questions on how this can be done within a row in RadGridVIew so I decided to make a small demo. I have used a nice List of countries by continent.           There are lots of ways to achieve this with RadGridView. Bellow I have tried to demonstrate...

    Sales Dashboard Application for Windows Forms

    Shortly after the Q3 2009 release we developed the Sales Dashboard Application for Windows Forms - a composite business application for visualizing a company’s sales force performance. It is built with the Q3 2009 versions of Telerik’s WinForms components, RadChart for WPF, Telerik OpenAccess ORM, and implements the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit for WinForms, which helps in the development of smart-client line-of-business (LOB) applications. Since the interest in this application is still high, we felt the need to have a dedicated place to discuss this application. In case you have not played with it yet, download the source code, and enjoy!   Also check: Silverlight/WPF Sales...
