    RadControls for Silverlight Demo with ADO.NET Data Services

    Yesterday I wrote about how to databind RadTreeView for Silverlight to ADO.NET Data Service and use Load on Demand. The simple application from yesterday was upgraded to a small back-end application for the Northwind database, that allows editing and deleting products. This time I decided to give it to one of our designers and our new Silverlight front end developer and they implemented this slick design: The application is available online: http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/northwindbackend/Default.aspx The source code can be downloaded from here: NorthwindBackend.zip In addition to yesterday's application, NorthwindBackend has extended data source, that provides simple undo mechanism and ability to update and delete products...

    Telerik RadGrid client-side data-binding using jQuery

    Instead of traditional ASP.NET AJAX approach for "Exposing Web Services to Client Script" you can use jQuery and JSON2 JavaScript libraries to achieve the same very easily. Using this simple method you can call any page method in ASP.NET Page or WebService method: function executeMethod(location, methodName, methodArguments, onSuccess, onFail) {     $.ajax({         type: "POST",         url: location + "/" + methodName,         data: methodArguments,         contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",         dataType: "json",         success: onSuccess,         fail: onFail     }); }   Here is an example also how to use JSON2 JavaScript library to serialize any JavaScript object to string: function getRequestData(tableView) {     return JSON.stringify({...

    The Object Relational “Impedance Mismatch”

    Now I know that most of you are familiar with this “as old as the world” problem, so to ease the uprising tension I will not go into the theoretical and architectural kind of stuff. Rather I want to remind to all of us why the (O)bject (R)elational mapping software domain exists nowadays. In general there are few major obstacles to overcome when designing an efficient N-Tier application. The persistence storage of a modern application is usually a RDBMS. These kinds of systems store information in a highly efficient way and allow fast retrieval, information queries and scalability, and all that...

    Silverlight TreeView Load on Demand

    Today I created a really simple application that demonstrates "best practice" for using RadTreeView with load on demand and ADO.NET Data Service. The application uses the Northwind database, that can be downloaded here. The tricky part is that in order to create almost codeless application we need to modify the automatically generated code of the service reference. To do that you will need to show all files in the Silverlight application (click the Show All Files in the Solution Explorer title bar) and then open Reference.cs: In this file replace all occurrences of "System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection" with "System.Collections.ObjectModel.ObservableCollection". This probably will be changed in...

    Context Menu for Silverlight. Integration with RadTreeView

    Here at Telerik we are cooking a lot of things with Silverlight. You will see some great new (and big!) controls with our Q3 release that is already knocking on the door. One small, but very popular thing, that is missing in Silverlight2 these days is the Context Menu support. As we got this working already internally, I thought that I'll share the good news with you :) This image above shows the integration between the new RadContextMenu and RadTreeView. As you can see you have full control over the context menu content, and you can also control the shortcut keys that will open the menu. So, any comments about that?  ...

    Using Telerik RadGrid in ASP.NET MVC together with RenderPartial, Ajax.Form, Ajax.ActionLink and UpdateModel

    I've made yet another ASP.NET MVC example with RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX however instead of Html.Form and Html.ActionLink I have used Ajax.Form and Ajax.ActionLink: As a result now you have an ajax enabled grid with paging, sorting, select, edit, update, delete and insert: [Download]...

    Visual Studio Tip: Spice Up the IDE

    Developing .NET applications is fun stuff. However, if you're like me sometimes using the same tools every day can get a little boring. That's why I often like to spice things up by changing the look of my IDE. Lucky for us, Visual Studio makes it easy to change the look of your development environment in just a few clicks. By heading to Tools | Import and Export Settings... you can export and save a backup of your current settings (a recommended practice before trying out any new settings) or import new settings from a file. These settings are saved in...
