How To: Print your DataGrid (or any UIElement) on multiple pages with Silverlight 4
In Silverlight 4 you can use PrintDocument to print easily any UIElement: … var doc = new PrintDocument(); doc.DocumentName = YourDocumentName; doc.PrintPage += (s, e) => { e.PageVisual = YouUIElement; }; doc.Print(); … and I’ve made an extension method that can be used to print any UIElement on multiple pages: public static void Print(this UIElement source, string documentName) { ... -

Win a pass to MIX10!
Our friends from SilverlightShow are running a Silverlight Eco Contest and are giving 3 passes for MIX10 in Las Vegas. Here’s an excerpt from their site: "Considering the alarming consequences of climate changes, and the actions taken to promote and carry out environmental-saving activities worldwide, we would like to give our share and show the power that web applications have to convince, persuade, and spread the word!" Telerik is sponsoring the contest - you can win a "Telerik Premium Collection for .NET". Unfortunately I will not be able to submit my own application - I have the honor of being a judge in the contest - so I will have the pleasure... -

Using Silverlight Upload control with ASP.NET MVC
[Download the complete final project] We got a customer inquiry today about how to integrate the Telerik Silverlight Upload control within an ASP.NET MVC site. This is quite an interesting scenario, especially with the new Drag and Drop from the file system coming with our Silverlight 4 release in the mid-March. I was not sure what should be done to run the SL upload in the MVC site. This was my first time experience with ASP.NET MVC 2 and it turned out to be a very pleasant and easy one. These are the steps that need to be followed: 1. Create an ASP.NET MVC site: 2.... -

Formatting Cell Values in the RadGridView for WinForms
Earlier this week while working on another blog entry, I ran into a unique situation involving the RadGridView. Basically, what I am doing is retrieving user status data from Facebook using the Facebook Developer Toolkit. The data is returned in a list of objects based on the Facebook API schema. These objects are of type user_status and contain the following: uuid - long status_id - long time - long source - string message - string comment_count - int I basically wanted to take this list and bind it to the RadGridView showing only the message and the time for that message. This was pretty ...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

RadEditor dialogs - what's new in the Q1 2010 release
As usual, the next major update of the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX will be packed with exciting new features. Unfortunately, this means that some performance related optimizations will be left in the background, which is why I want to present one of them here. The Q1 2010 release will add a new property for the RadEditor's RadDialogOpener control - EnableTelerikManagers. When it set to true and you have a RadScriptManager or a RadStyleSheetManager on the page, the editor dialogs will start using these controls as well. The main benefit from the script and stylesheet managers is faster loading speed - due to less... -

How To: Server sorting, filtering, grouping and paging with RadGridView for Silverlight without WCF RIA services
With our upcoming service pack (Q3 SP2) of RadGridView for Silverlight all operation like sorting, grouping and paging on the server can be achieved completely codeless when the grid is bound to DomainDataSource and in my previous post I’ve showed how to do the same for filtering with minimum code. You can even force the grid vertical scrollbar to page on the server instead DataPager. Since WCF RIA services is still in beta I’ve made small example how to achieve sorting, grouping, paging and filtering using custom web service: XAML <UserControl x:Class="SilverlightApplication1.MainPage" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignWidth="640" d:DesignHeight="480" xmlns:data="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Data" xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView"> ... -

Displaying images stored in MS SQL with RadGridView for Silverlight
There are different ways to store images in a SQL database. In our little demo we have the images placed as binaries in an image type column in a MS SQL table.. As you may know Silverlight works with a limited range of image formats(PNG and JPG). Therefore I have prepared a small sample database with a few jpeg images inside. Silverlight being a client platform does not have direct access to the SQL server. It needs some server-side code to fetch the data. For the purposes of this demo I have used a WCF service and Linq To Sql to connect to the database...May 27, 2021 1 min read -
