Is this currently possible, and if so how? 

 

I assumed I could Create the RadTabView, and for each of my tabs have a separate dataform, and just create code like this?

 

        <telerikInput:RadDataForm.Source>
            <local:SourceItem />
        </telerikInput:RadDataForm.Source>
    </telerikInput:RadDataForm>

 

However, my compiler errors out saying 'local' is an underclared prefix.

Hi Vikram,

In that context local: means the namespace of where the SourceItem class is. You'd need to add an xmlns to the page pointing to the "local" namespace.

Example
Let's say as an example, your project namespace is "MyProject" and you have a folder named "Models". IN the Models folder you have a class named "Student".

This is what it would look like if you wanted to use the RadDataForm for Student:



You can name that namespace whatever you want. In fact a more appropriate xmlns for the Models folder would be "xmlns:models"




Code Behind

If you're not familiar with XAML and how define xmlns, you can set the Source property of the DataForm in the code behind:




View Model

Lastly, you can also data bind the Source property:


and in the view model:
