Today we're going to be looking at an Introduction to RadDataFilter, part of the Telerik RadControls for Silverlight and RadControls for WPF control suites.

RadDataFilter is a new control that allows you to quickly and easily perform complex filter expressions on any type of data collection.  This will provide your end users with a new level of control over their data, as you can easily switch parameters and filter descriptors and see instant updates to controls bound to the filtered collection on RadDataFilter. Also, since this control shares a common codebase and API between the RadControls for Silverlight and WPF control suites, you can easily use it across any flavor of XAML application you are developing.

We'll start by looking at RadFilter in our Silverlight online demos.

Today we're going to be looking at an Introduction to RadBusyIndicator, part of the Telerik Radcontrols for Silverlight and RadControls for WPF control suites.

RadBusyIndicator is a useful helper control that you can utilize to let your end users know something is happening in an application.  Whether you are waiting for data to come back from the server or performing a complex operation on the client, it is always nice to provide a user interface helper to let users know that something is happening.  Plus, since you are already using the RadControls for Silverlight or WPF, the look and feel is designed to match the suites, providing a seamless UI experience.

Today we're going to be looking at an Introduction to RadTreeListView, part of the Telerik RadControls for Silverlight and Radcontrols for WPF control suites.

RadTreeListView is a powerful control that you can use for displaying hierarchical data in your application.  We have combined the power of RadGridView with the display capabilities of RadTreeView to provide a control that is a hybrid of both, allowing you to perform sorting, filtering, grouping, and editing like you would in RadGridView while also easily displaying the data in a hierarchical fashion.  Plus, since this is based on the RadGridView data engine, you can count on UI virtualization to ensure RadTreeListView uses the least amount of memory possible while providing blazing fast performance.

Today we're going to be looking at an Introduction to RadDateTimePicker, part of the Telerik RadControls for Silverlight and RadControls for WPF control suites.

In response to many requests from the Telerik developer community, we have taken the combined DateTime picker custom control from the RadScheduler edit appointment dialogue and turned it into a fully fledged Telerik control.  Now you no longer have to juggle selecting dates and times from different controls and combining them into a single value, instead you can use RadDateTimePicker which uses two separate UI selection methods to create a combined DateTime value.

Today we're going to be looking at an Introduction to RadDataPager, part of the Telerik RadControls for Silverlight and RadControls for WPF control suites.

As we are often working with large datasets in our applications, there comes a need to utilize paging on our data to make it more manageable and easier to consume.  At Telerik our answer to that is the RadDataPager control, which allows you to page any collection as well as working seamlessly with WCF RIA Services.  Using RadDataPager, you can easily hook any databound control up to the PagedSource collection to utilize paging.

Today we're going to look at an exciting new feature of RadGridView, the ability to copy and paste values between RadGridView and Microsoft Excel.  As we all know, excel has become pretty standard in day to day business and the ability to copy and paste from and to Silverlight has been previously lacking.  Our grid team has solved that, so lets see how we can start using this in our applications with the Q2 2010 release of Telerik Radcontrols for SL and RadControls for WPF.

We;ve all become used to the RibbonUI as a new standard for line of business applications, but you're always going to run into situations where you need different menu options, but only in certain specific instances.  The RadRibbonBar team has solved that by adding ContextualGroups, which can be turned on and off by setting a single property.
