    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...

    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....

If someone still wonders why Fetch Plans are so interesting when we talk about LINQ the answer is simple – they can boost the performance of your queries in times! When one decides to use a fetch plan he/she always defines one or more fetch groups that are going to be used as part of it.

Getting Started Remember from yesterday that we have three projects in our solution: Telerik.Reporting.DAL-the class library project containing our OpenAccess entities (mapped back to SQL Azure tables) Telerik.Reporting.RptLib-the class library project containing...
