To show our intention to work on major LOB controls, we are launching a CTP version of RadGridView control for SIlverlight. We wanted to share our efforts with the community and receive valuable feedback on the results we have accomplished. Therefore, we are launching the CTP edition of the Grid control to ask you evaluate the product and provide all your thoughts on the matter. Our Grid team is eager to include all the features that are heavily demanded by the community. The CTP build is currently available under the users' accounts as an additional download to the latest SP1 of the "RadControls for Silverlight" bundle. We decided to launch both releases as this will enable the users build versatile applications using all our controls along with the newly added grid component. The official release of the Grid control is scheduled for the Q1 release next year.
The SP1 and RadGridView CTP are currently available under your accounts. The online demos can be seen at demos.telerik.com/silverlight

What does RadGridView for Silverlight include:

Grouping
Sorting
Editing
Programmatic Filtering
Auto-fit column
Column resize
Column reorder
Grouping aggregates

What is improved in the rest of the RadControls for Silverlight:

RadContextMenu now inherits DataContext from the element, to which the ContextMenu is attached

RadWindow - fixes on control's appearance:

Fixed the resize
Focus management fixes
Fixed pin button default state

PageNavigation improvements
RadPanelBar - bigfixes:

You can now place panel items in panel items
Improvements on the styling of the control under Expression Blend
ScrollViewer of each control is now styled

GridViewAggregates.zip

Hi Mahima,

An example about aggregates will be included in our upcoming release but since I do not want to keep you waiting I am sending you a sample application that demonstrates how aggregates can be defined and used.

It is actually very simple - every group description (RadGroupDescription class) has a collection, exposed by the AggregateFunctions property, that contains all aggregate functions. In order to apply an aggregate to a group you should only add an aggregate function to the AggregateFunctions collection. In our Data assembly you can find several built-in aggregate functions like CountFunction, SumFunction, ect, but you can also build your own by inheriting from the AggregateFunction class.

The sample application that I've build for you demonstrates how you can create an aggregate that counts the number of records in each group.

Hope this helps.

All the best,
Milan

Hi Mahima,

Customization of GridViewRows is not possible task at this stage. The issue is with a Silverlight platform restriction "Style can be set only once!!!" For reference you can see this article. However we will do our best to implement customizing rows for future versions of the control.

Also we are sorry for the inconvenience that missing documentation causes to you. The documentation will be available when RadGridView for Silverlight becomes official. Meanwhile you can refer to documentation for RadGridView for WPF as both controls have common API.

If you have any questions related to our controls do not hesitate to ask.

Hi GEB,

The aggregates sample is now included in our latest Futures release. Please refer to the example that is included in the Futures release since it demonstrates the aggregates feature a lot better than the one that I have posted here.

You can find the RadGridView Fetures release under Free Trials -> RadControls for Silverlight -> Futures (automatic installation): (msi, 67 MB) or Futures (manual installation): (zip, 67 MB).

In case you would like to complite the examples you will need the latest silverlight tools, which are available here

Best wishes,

More information on the "missing" System.Windows.Controls.Data assembly:

From what I can tell, this has now been deprecated. However, in the "futures" release of RadControls, which contains RadGridView, Telerik.Windows.Data.RecordManger.Initialize is referencing System.Windows.Controls.Data. I have never installed a previous version of SilverLight on my development system, so I only have a clean version of SilverLight 2 RTW. I have replicated this with a very simple example of RadGridView:

    
            <UserControl x:Class="TestRadGridView.Page" 
        
                xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"   
        
                xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" 
        
                xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView">  
        
                <Grid> 
        
                    <controls:RadGridView x:Name="radGridView" Grid.Row="1" AutoGenerateColumns="True">  
        
                    </controls:RadGridView> 
        
                </Grid> 
        
            </UserControl>

    
            using System;  
        
            using System.Collections.ObjectModel;  
        
            using System.Windows.Controls;  
        
            namespace TestRadGridView  
        
            {  
        
                public partial class Page : UserControl  
        
                {  
        
                    static public ItemCollection Items = new ItemCollection();  
        
                    public Page()  
        
                    {  
        
                        InitializeComponent();  
        
                        // Load the Cateogries into the Collection.  
        
                        LoadItems();  
        
                        this.radGridView.ItemsSource = Items;  
        
                    }  
        
                    private void LoadItems()  
        
                    {  
        
                        Items.Add(new Item("1", "Item 1"));  
        
                        Items.Add(new Item("2", "Item 2"));  
        
                        Items.Add(new Item("3", "Item 3"));  
        
                    }  
        
                }  
        
                public class ItemCollection : ObservableCollection<Item> 
        
                {  
        
                    public ItemCollection()  
        
                    {  
        
                    }  
        
                }  
        
                public class Item  
        
                {  
        
                    private string _id;  
        
                    public string Id  
        
                    {  
        
                        get { return _id; }   
        
                        set { _id = value; }  
        
                    }  
        
                    private string _name;  
        
                    public string Name  
        
                    {  
        
                        get { return _name; }  
        
                        set { _name = value; }  
        
                    }  
        
                    public Item()  
        
                    {  
        
                    }  
        
                    public Item(string id, string name)  
        
                    {  
        
                        _id = id;  
        
                        _name = name;  
        
                    }  
        
                }  
        
            }

In my project, I am including references to Telerik.Windows.Controls and Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView. The version of RadControls that I am using is RadControls_for_Silverlight_2008_3_1217_TRIAL_Futures, which I manually installed.
