As the title suggests, its a homebrew Silverlight 2 3D engine with perspective and lightning (more features are in the works). Since the movie Pink Panther 2 is coming out soon we decided it will be cool to show off the technology with our own 3D Silverlight pink panther. Enter the panther! (Click the picture to start the demo) While this is only a pink panther you can probably imagine the slick products this... -

Setup a simple RadChart for WPF
To get started working with any control, I find it useful to begin with a fresh project. So below you will see that I have very simple XAML for my WPF application which adds a RadChart to the form. In this post, I want to demonstrate the basic setup and binding of data to the RadChart. <Window x:Class="CreateABasicChart.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Window1" Height="484" Width="750" xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation">...February 10, 2009 2 min read -

Web jQuery
Chainability (The Magic of jQuery)
This article is taken from How jQuery Works. jQuery uses an interesting concept called a "Builder" to make its code short and simple. The Builder pattern is an object-oriented programming design pattern that has been gaining popularity. In a nutshell: Every method within jQuery returns the query object itself, allowing you to 'chain' upon it, for example: $("a") .filter(".clickme") .click(function(){ alert("You are now leaving the site."); }) .end() .filter(".hideme") .click(function(){ $(this).hide(); ... -

Bind Your Telerik Reports to XML Data

Regardless of whether your data is stored in a SQL Server database, an XML document, or a simple text file, if you can read it into one of the supported data source types then you can bind it to your report. Since XML is a often used to store data, I thought it might be helpful to demonstrate how to bind your report to the data in an XML file using LINQ to XML. To get started, create a class...February 06, 2009 5 min read -

The many localizations of RadEditor and RadSpell
Did you know that there over 25 localized versions of RadSpell's dictionaries (30, to be exact)? Did you know there are over 10 localizations of RadEditor? When you're building a global site, you often need to support a number of languages, and thanks to Telerik's outstanding community, we are able to offer a huge range of localizations for the RadControls- especially those controls which depend heavily on localized strings. Not all controls require localizations- a RadSlider or ColorPicker, for example, communicate their UI without any built-in strings. Even controls like RadGrid don't have much need for localization. Other controls- like...
