I need to created a grid to show data coming out of a service. I need a nice light theme grid to show the data. what is the best way to do this. Also what is the best way to theme this grid with the databinding. I am having lots of trouble with these themes and Jason. it's cumbersome. I do not have a handle on all the concepts of windows 8.1 store apps or WPF in general. So this is baptism by fire.
How can I connect to a database as well. I can't access entity framework or any of those things either. I am trying to use the RadGrid to do this for a CLevel demo foe executives that need so see something "amanzing" like the movie "the Incredibles". and can not get this wired up right. I have 5 columns and it may be neat to add a custom column wth a chart or a custom bitmap depending on the data on some of the columns.
Data set comes from a medical device.
Also need to create some Crud controls for users that I can instantiate on a Page with an MVVM view model and wire all this up
Need some help asap.
Thanks

Hi Peter,
Thank you for contacting us.
You can start with the online documentation for RadDataGrid: RadDataGrid - Getting Started
The RadDataGrid works perfectly with the MVVM pattern. You will need a view model with collection of data items and bind the grid's ItemsSource property to that collection. After that you can create columns manually or automatically. For the non standard data columns (e.g. chart or bitmap image) you can use the DataGridTemplateColumn.
You can use the Telerik Data Storage as a local data base.
Also if you download the trial version of the controls, you can get the XAML Data Storage Demo from the download page of the controls. It demonstrates how the RadDataGrid and Data Storage can work together.
I hope this helps. Please, let us know if you have further questions.
