Which of your controls are suitable for MVVM?

[Kristoffer]

Hi,

We are currently implementing a piece of software where we use the MVVM pattern. Most of your demos are mostly implemented in code-behind. Hence, it becomes hard to know if they are suitable for MVVM.

Can you please provide a list of which of your RAD controls are suitable for MVVM? E.g. RadDiagram?

Hello Kristoffer,

Actually most of our components are MVVM friendly and we are always trying to improve our demos. You can take as an example RadGridView demos, or RadScheduleView demos, RadTreeView demos etc. 

As for RadDiagram, it is MVVM friendly two. You can bind its GraphSource property to ObservableGraphSourceBase and this will enable two-way databinding scenarios. Furthermore, since MVVM refers not only to binding a source collection, RadDiagram provides also:

• ShapeTemplate
• ShapeTemplateSelector
• ShapesEditTemplateSelector
• ConnectionTemplate
• ConnectionTemplateSelector
• ConnectionsEditTemplateSelector
• ShapeStyleSelector
• ConnectionStyleSelector

You can elaborate more on your specific MVVM scenario and we will be glad to assist you configure your RadControls.
