Asynchronous data loading with Entity Data Source?

I have a GridView where the ItemsSource is bound to the PagedSource property of a DataPager. The DataPager ItemsSource is bound to an EntityDataSource. The problem is that this is blocking my UI thread. The GridView has a "DataLoadMode" property which can be set to Asynchronous... but the pager doesn't. How would I go about loading the data to the pager asynchronously? I tried doing this in another thread but I keep getting a cross-thread exception even though I use the dispatcher to set the property to which the pager is bound.

Trigger loading by hand

Hello

Can I load some portion of data programmatically? For example:

class Work { public string WorkTitle { get; set; } }

var query = generateQueryFor<Work>.OrderBy(w => w.WorkTitle);

var virtualQuery = new VirtualQueryableCollectionView(query) { LoadSize = 50 };

virtualQuery.ItemsLoading += (sender1, eventArgs1) =>

{

//event doesn't firing

};

virtualQuery.ItemsLoaded += (sender2, eventArgs2) =>

{

//event doesn't firing

};

// how force to load some data?

// GetItemAt doesn't loads any data

var row0 = virtualQuery.GetItemAt(0);

var row1 = virtualQuery.GetItemAt(1);

var row2 = virtualQuery.GetItemAt(2);

RadMaskedNumericInput does not bind decimal datatype correctly

Hi,

I am using RadMaskedNumericInput control for Percent input. I have decimal datatype property bound to the control. When i try to update value in control as number 55, it updates the background property as "0.55".

<telerik:RadMaskedNumericInput x:Name="uxPercentToPay" Grid.Row="6" Grid.Column="1" Margin="2,3" Width="120" Style="{StaticResource RadMaskedNumericInputStyle}" Validation.ErrorTemplate="{x:Null}" UpdateValueEvent="PropertyChanged" AutoFillNumberGroupSeparators="False" MaskedInput:MaskedInputExtensions.Maximum="100"MaskedInput:MaskedInputExtensions.Minimum="0" Mask="p2.2" Placeholder=" " AutoFillZeros="True"

Value="{Binding PercentToPay,Mode=TwoWay,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"

MaskedInput:MaskedInputExtensions.IsEditorTabStop="True"/>

Background property:

public decimal PercentToPay

{

get

{

return _percentToPay;

}

set

{

if (_percentToPay == value)

{

return;

}

_percentToPay = value;

RaisePropertyChanged(() => PercentToPay);

}

Please let me know, what could be the possible miss out here.

Thanks in Advance,

Sagar
