Setup a simple RadChart for WPF
To get started working with any control, I find it useful to begin with a fresh project. So below you will see that I have very simple XAML for my WPF application which adds a RadChart to the form. In this post, I want to demonstrate the basic setup and binding of data to the RadChart. <Window x:Class="CreateABasicChart.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Window1" Height="484" Width="750" xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation">...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

Chainability (The Magic of jQuery)
This article is taken from How jQuery Works. jQuery uses an interesting concept called a "Builder" to make its code short and simple. The Builder pattern is an object-oriented programming design pattern that has been gaining popularity. In a nutshell: Every method within jQuery returns the query object itself, allowing you to 'chain' upon it, for example: $("a") .filter(".clickme") .click(function(){ alert("You are now leaving the site."); }) .end() .filter(".hideme") .click(function(){ $(this).hide(); ... -

Bind Your Telerik Reports to XML Data
One of the cool things about Telerik Reporting is that you can bind it to just about any kind of data source. Regardless of whether your data is stored in a SQL Server database, an XML document, or a simple text file, if you can read it into one of the supported data source types then you can bind it to your report. Since XML is a often used to store data, I thought it might be helpful to demonstrate how to bind your report to the data in an XML file using LINQ to XML. To get started, create a class...May 27, 2021 5 min read -

The many localizations of RadEditor and RadSpell
Did you know that there over 25 localized versions of RadSpell's dictionaries (30, to be exact)? Did you know there are over 10 localizations of RadEditor? When you're building a global site, you often need to support a number of languages, and thanks to Telerik's outstanding community, we are able to offer a huge range of localizations for the RadControls- especially those controls which depend heavily on localized strings. Not all controls require localizations- a RadSlider or ColorPicker, for example, communicate their UI without any built-in strings. Even controls like RadGrid don't have much need for localization. Other controls- like... -

WPF / Silverlight: RadChart and MVVM
While reviewing the daily portion of blog posts today one article at Delay’s blog here caught my attention – customizing the MS chart control via re-templating and the MVVM design pattern in order to achieve different colorization of the bar series items in a single series. We have discussed similar functionality some time ago but it seemed like a very non-mainstream scenario and based on our experience with the ASP.NET / WinForms chart it was rarely requested feature so we decided we can go without it for the time being. However, once I read the article I started thinking what it would...
