    How To: Use WCF services with ASP.NET AJAX databound controls

    As you know RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX controls fully leverage .NET 3.5 and come with built-in support for LINQ, LinqToSQL, EntityDataSource, ADO.NET DataServices, and WCF Web Service. With Q1 2009 our online examples feature .NET 3.5 examples for all databound controls (Grid, Scheduler, ComboBox, Menu, TreeView, PanelBar). In this post I will guide you through the process of creating a RadComboBox which loads its items on demand using WCF services. This will be a step by step tutorial, but if you are familiar with the process you can jump directly to the online demo. The steps below show how to load the items of RadComboBox...

    How To: Save and load settings with RadGridView for Silverlight

    I’ve made another demo (similar to this one) on how to save and restore various RadGridView settings using IsolatedStorageFile and DataContractSerializer. Again to turn on this for your grid you can simply set RadGridViewSettings.IsEnabled attached property: <UserControl x:Class="SaveLoadSettingsWithRadGridViewForSilverlight.Page"    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"    xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView"     xmlns:ts="clr-namespace:Telerik.Settings">     <Gridx:Name="LayoutRoot"Background="White">         <telerik:RadGridView ts:RadGridViewSettings.IsEnabled="True" x:Name="RadGridView1" />     </Grid> </UserControl> ...

    Installing and Using the RadRibbonForm template

    If you are planning to use the RadRibbonBar and want to get started quickly, then you might consider using the RadRibbonForm template in VIsual Studio.  While you can use a standard form the RadRibbonForm allows you to use the RadRibbonBar and have it extend into the Title bar, just like Microsoft Office.  You will first need to install the template so it is available to you in Visual Studio.  To get started, navigate to the C:\Program Files\Telerik\RadControls for WinForms [version]\Templates.  If you are using CSharp open the CSharp directory, there are Visual Basic versions as well, in appropriately named folders,...

    How To: Custom filter row with RadGridView for Silverlight

    Since our RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX filter row is very popular, I’ve made small demo how to achieve the same in RadGridView for Silverlight:   To turn on this for your grid you can simply set GridViewFilterRow.IsEnabled attached property: <UserControl x:Class="CustomFilterRow.Page" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:telerikGridViewFilter="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.Filter" xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView"> <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White"> <telerik:RadGridView x:Name="RadGridView1" AutoGenerateColumns="False" telerikGridViewFilter:GridViewFilterRow.IsEnabled="True"> <telerik:RadGridView.Columns> ...

    Changing the Backcolor for the RadMenu for WinForms

    Recently a question regarding how to change the BackColor of the RadMenu for WinForms.  I thought it might be easier to outline this process with screenshots so I put together a quick post to answer the question. After creating a new WinForms application project, I added a RadMenu.  The screenshot below shows that the default color of the menu is blue. The quickest way to accomplish this task is to click on the SmartTag in the DesignView.  Then select the Edit UI Element menu option. This will open a new window which is called the Element hierarchy editor. Within the Element hierarchy editor, select the...

    XML Syntax Rules

    All XML Elements Must Have a Closing Tag In HTML, you will often see elements that don't have a closing tag:  <p>This is a paragraph  <p>This is another paragraph    In XML, it is illegal to omit the closing tag. All elements must have a closing tag: <p>This is a paragraph</p>  <p>This is another paragraph</p>        Note: You might have noticed from the previous example that the XML declaration did not have a closing tag. This is not an error. The declaration is not a part of the XML document itself, and it has no closing tag. XML Tags are Case Sensitive XML elements are defined using XML tags. XML tags are case sensitive. With XML, the tag <Letter> is different from the...

    Telerik, AJAX UI controls and Mono support

    Had I posted the big news yesterday, many people would've probably thought that it's an April Fools' Day joke. Luckily, it's not a prank and we are very excited to announce that RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX works on the latest distribution of Mono.    Telerik customers have been asking us for Mono support since 2006 and we have been quietly working with Novell to make it happen. After many rounds of feedback and fixes, we are very happy that our collaboration yielded great results - now customers can make their ASP.NET applications truly cross-platform. It's a good time to say a BIG...
