My latest application required a RadGridView having a dynamic number of columns. And therefor, the binding of the data an event handler needed to by managed during runtime as well. Not really in issue: handle the RowLoaded event, iterate over the cells of the row passed by the event arguments, …

I like Silverlight, Telerik’s GridView control and the ability to create the columns of a grid dynamically. Recently, I had to build up a grid during runtime. The number of columns and the header text is unknown at design time (read it from the database), but nothing to worry about. …

From what I learned, printing in Silverlight (4) is straight forward: Create a control and print it. I used this pattern in a Silverlight application I built. Because I had to implement some multipage- and list handling, I created user controls that I added into a stack panel of the …

Having generics in .NET is a great thing. I already loved template classes in C++, missed them in .NET 1.x, and was happy to get a (little bit restricted) kind of templates in .NET 2.0. Building a Silverlight application, I felt the need to create a generic UserControl base class. …

In my current Silverlight project, I’m using the DatePicker control, which is part of the Silverlight SDK. In one scenario, the DatePicker with TwoWay binding is embedded into a User Control, which itself is embedded into another User Control. The format is “dd.MM.yyyy”. Entering e.g. 23.11.2011 works fine, means the …

One of the great things of Silverlight – from my point of view – is the introduction of converters to format the content if a control, e.g. a text box. Well, the idea itself isn’t new, but it is the first time I saw it built in a Microsoft UI …

What a “feature” 🙁 In one of the LOB apps I’m building, I set some of the text boxes to enabled, read-only and no tab stop. Then I needed top copy the content of one of these text boxes into the clipboard. It was not possible! Because you cannot mark …
For re-use purposes, it is helpful to put Silverlight styles into a separate class library; let’s call it ResourceLibrary in this example. In the class library which is using the styles from ResourceLibrary, one should declare a Styles.xaml, which only contains a reference to ResourceLibrary: <ResourceDictionary xmlns=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation” xmlns:x=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml”> <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <ResourceDictionary …

In Silverlight 4, the new Binding property StringFormat was introduced. It’s a nice thing, e.g. if you want to display numeric values with digit grouping and a fix number of decimal places. The syntax is equal to the String.Format: {Binding DataContextProperty StringFormat=’#,##0.00′}. One can, of course, use it for other …

In an application I built, using Silverlight Client and WCF Service, the application threw an exception when the request data passed by the client to the server exceeded about 64K (might be a little bit less). Using a TCP tracer, I saw that the client received a “bad request” error. …
