This is what I want to see <a href="http://www.googe.com">Google</html>

{

var dataRow = (GridViewDataRowInfo) gridViewRowInfo;

foreach (GridViewCellInfo cell in dataRow.Cells)

{

MessageBox.Show(cell.Value.ToString());

}

return true;

}

public List<GridViewRowInfo> GetAllRows(GridViewTemplate template)

{

var allRows = new List<GridViewRowInfo>();

allRows.AddRange(template.Rows);

foreach (var childTemplate in template.Templates)

{

var childRows = this.GetAllRows(childTemplate);

GridViewComboBoxColumn selection change event handling issue

Hi,

I am using telerik library version 'UI for WinForms Q2 2014' and need to implement a selection change event for one of the GridViewComboBoxColumn type column. As per http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/wpf/controls/radgridview/columns/how-to/howto-selectionchanged-comboboxcolumn I have to use the AddHandler method for which Telerik.Windows namespace has to be used, However for the version I am currently having doesn't contain any of these Telerik.Windows libraries. What is the best thing to do for me now to implement my feature.

Thanks in advance.

Chandra.

Time control

So, here goes.

I have a user requirement. The basically need 1 textbox, it doesnt matter if it is a masked textbox or a datetimepicker or whatever.
This textbox needs to allow only hh:mm and when it gains focus it needs to select the whole of the contents.

When the user navigates to this textbox initially, it should be blank (it can be __:__ if masked) and should allow a user to type:

0125

without needing to press any other keys (01 is the hours and 25 is the minutes). The control should be smart enough to display 01:25 but not require the user to press the arrow keys to move from hours to minutes.

I have tried this using the maskededitbox and found that it doesnt work as intended and I cant clear the text if I set the mask to ##:## which is annoying. I then used the datetimepicker and selected time, but it has hh:mm:ss and to get from hours to minutes you have to use the arrow key.

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Custom Cell Editor nested controls events

I'm writing a custom editor which have to contains 2 drowdown controls: the second dropdown must be filled on values loaded from DB based on value selected in first dropdown. I need to let user add new values for both dropdowns.

I tried two ways but with no success.

First way: I created a custom editor containing 2 DrowDownListEditorElements and I tried to override EndEdit() method of each object to create new items if needed, but it seems that each EndEdit was never invoked and I cannot intercept when user pass from one dropdown to other, or when exit from the editor.

Second way: I created a custom editor containing a user control containing two RadDropDownList controls and I used the Leave event of each dropDown to obtain excepted behaviour, but all I obtained is that EndEdit() of editor was first called before other event of child/nested controls.(for example if user press TAB when focused on second dropdown, editor EndEdit is fired before the drowdown Leave event handler, so new values aren't created yet and Editor value has not been set.

What's the correct way to manage events in complex grid cell custom editors?

Thnaks.

Memory not getting released after creating a large mail merge

I am running into a memory issue when trying to perform a mail merge. I need to do two things:
1. Generate individual PDF files to be stored on a file share
2. generate a single PDF so it could be sent to a printer as a single job.

I am noticing, that after my large PDF file is generated, the memory usage remains very large. When I re-run the process, it starts climbing up, but then falls back down to an acceptable level during the generation of single document, only to climb back up during the final single PDF. I am pasting my code below. For some odd reason my random data isn't actually making it into the files, but since that's not my problem at this moment, I am not concerned about it.

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Data;
