    How To: Telerik RadGrid Master/Detail client-side data-binding using LINQ to SQL and WebService

    I've made two Master/Detail demos using RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX, LINQ to SQL and WebService client-side data-binding. The first example is a single grid with two hierarchical levels (Customers -> Orders) with enabled paging, sorting & filtering for the entire hierarchy: and the second demo is a classic Master/Detail with two grids: [Download]...

    .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...

    Visual Studio Tip: Using Code Snippets

    A few weeks ago I blogged about creating your own reusable templates for Visual Studio. One of my favorite things about Visual Studio is that it offers a lot of great ways for developers to improve the development experience (and productivity) by adding many extensibility points in the IDE. Now developers have the option of adding on to existing features of Visual Studio with templates and macros, or integrating completely unique features directly into the IDE with add-ins. One of these extensibility features, snippets, adds a ton of value to developer productivity and is incredibly easy to use. Snippets are small, parameterized...

    What is lacking in your WinForms app?

    Today we had to help a customer of ours, who was building a nice looking and very professional LOB application. He was looking for a control that would display the status of a process that he could incorporate in his app. The reply was simple, although not so obvious - RadStatusStrip. The status strip is a good example of a very simple piece of UI that does not seems to be of a high importance, but if we take a closer look at the so called LOB apps, we’ll see that it is irreplaceable part of them. A nice-looking and...

    RadChart for WPF - Redesigned

    Some time ago when we announced our WPF charting effort a we received some feedback about the design of the control. At such an early stage of the control's development we were more interested in presenting the technical merits of the component rather than flashing some eye candy to please our customers. Well, development is moving on smoothly and now is the time to finally show some eye candy - and boy, don't I just love eye candy! :) The saying goes that a picture is worth a thousand words so I'm posting some preliminary designs for the "Ice" theme our designers...

    RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax and Microsoft Expression Web

    This blog post is part of my research on whether the RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax support Microsoft Expression Web? The answer is simple – yes, they do.   If you only follow the instructions on how to use custom controls in Expression Web, you will see the result yourself. The main point here is having the Telerik.Web.UI assembly in the GAC and register it with its fully qualified name on the page.   Here are some screenshots:   Design-time: Run-time:
