    WPF: RadChart Layout Customization

    Today we would like to highlight one exciting feature that will find its way into the new RadChart control for WPF -- the control grants you the absolute freedom to compose its layout based on your business requirements and not the other way around. This effectively means that you can add an unlimited number of chart building blocks (chart areas, legends, and titles) so we will demonstrate now how easy the layout customization can be. Basically the control provides three options for layout customization: RadChart comes with a default preset layout (a single chart area, legend, and title) but you have complete...

    Silverlight Foundations: Hello, World!

    Silverlight is Microsoft's new platform for developing Rich Internet Applications. Instead of being constrained by the limitations of HTML, .NET developers can use their skills to create even more powerful applications in the browser than is possible with ASP.NET. But unless you've been living under a rock for the past year and a half, you already know that. What you might not know is how in the world to get started using this exciting new technology in your own projects. We have already released the RadControls for Silverlight 2 beta (which will be officially released alongside the release of Silverlight 2), and...

    Image caching in PDF

    Over the past few days I worked on an image caching mechanism in the PDF Rendering Extension and I am happy to announce that the achieved output size reduction was more than significant. The Problem When a report contains the same binary image many times, the PDF Rendering Extension has no way of knowing that it is actually one and the same and renders it many times thus wasting disc space. For an illustration of this case imagine that you have your company's logo in the page header and your report is 200 pages long. The Solution: Enter Cyclic Redundancy Check I've implemented a central...

    Build a slideshow with RadChart and RadRotator for WinForms in minutes

    Last week we got an interesting request from a customer of ours – he wanted to add several RadCharts in the RadRotator control and to implement custom slideshow. The idea was so appealing that I decided to shoot a quick blog about it. We already have similar image slideshows and I must say it is a pretty cool way to give your WinForms app a modern style and appeal: http://www.telerik.com/community/code-library/submission/b311D-bdhadm.aspx Even though it is very easy to add RadChart directly to the rotator (by using RadHostItem), RadRotator performs much better with images and/or other windowless RadItems. This is why...

    .csharpcode, .csharpcode pre { font-size: small; color: black; font-family: consolas, "Courier New", courier, monospace; /*white-space: pre;*/ } .csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; } .csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; } .csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; } .csharpcode .str { color: #006080; } .csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; } .csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; } .csharpcode .asp { background-color: #ffff00; } .csharpcode .html { color: #800000; } .csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000; } .csharpcode .alt { background-color: #f4f4f4; width: 100%; margin: 0em; } .csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; } Hi all, my name is Tsvetan Raykov and I’m a developer on the WinForms RadGridView team. With this post I am starting a thread that will explain some of the great, but less known features of RadGridView for WinForms. One of the commonly used features in RadGridView is Grouping. Many of our users have requested having the option to change its default format and appearance. This is finally possible in the latest Q2 2008 version and I am going to cover the formatting basics in this post. The example and code shown here are available for download at the bottom of...

    Editing Telerik's Silverlight Controls in Expression Blend

    Along with the release of Telerik RadControls for Silverlight Beta 2, we also released a "blendable" Silverlight project. What I mean under "blendable" is that when this project is opened in Expression Blend, it allows you an easy and straightforward approach to editing the style of every control in out suite. To begin with, go to your Client.net account and download Telerik.Windows.Controls.Blend. Unzip the project anywhere and open the Telerik.Windows.Controls.Blend.sln files using Expression Blend. If you explore the Project tab, you will find that each control is represented by a separate XAML file. Open, for example, the Expander.xaml file. You will see that there...
