Another opportunity I had at MIX09 was to talk to the guys from DevExpress about the controls they are working on. Azret Botash explains how they are going after the features that people say can't be done and doing them. In this video he demos their Silverlight-based Rich text Editor along with their WPF-based Datagrid.

A look into the ComponentOne Studio for Silverlight

Adam Kinney — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 18:31:00 GMT

During MIX09 I had the opportunity to sit down with the guys from ComponentOne and take a look at the controls available in their new Studio for Silverlight 2009 release. Along with a full-featured datagrid and richtextbox, they demoed a BitMap API and Effects running in Silverlight 2, which we had just announced for Silverlight 3. The other feature that really stood out for me was the fact that they were supporting the same themes as the Silverlight Toolkit. Even if you're using controls from different assemblies, you still want them to look cohesive and this is what theme support can provide.

Webcast Virtual Earth - Einen Routenplaner in ASP.NETselber bauen

Jan Schenk — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 14:09:00 GMT

Wenn ich schon einzelne Routen berechnen lassen und anzeigen lassen kann, dann sollte doch auch eine eigene Einbettung als Routenplaner nicht so kompliziert sein. Eine Ausgabe der einzelnen Wegpunkte in HTML hilft, wenn man die Route ausdrucken und unterwegs im Auto verwenden möchte. Ist das schwer? Jein, eigentlich nicht, aber es ist ein bisschen Code-Arbeit notwendig. Den Aufbau der Seite und die dahinter liegende Logik sehen wir in diesem Video.

Dazu gibts den gesamten Code und noch ein paar kleine Erweiterungen des Projektes aus dem Video in Codeform auf http://blogs.msdn.com/jansche/ !

Viel Spass!

ASP.NET Codeclip - User Controls, oder "Ade Includes"!

Jan Schenk — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 18:37:00 GMT

Mit User Controls kann man den klassischen Includes getrost Ade sagen, denn User Controls können alles, was das Herz begehrt. Mehrfach autark innerhalb einer Seite verwendbar, steuerbar und anpassbar, bei Bedarf zur Laufzeit und aus der integrierenden Seite heraus.

Im Video findet ihr ein Beispiel zur Verwendung von User Controls, viel Spass damit, nachmachen erlaubt. Aber ich erwarte natürlich, dass ihr das besser und sinnvoller einsetzt als ich ;-)

Codesnippets findet ihr auf meinem Blog unter:
(kommt gleich)

Viele Grüße,

Dynamic 3D Charts with Telerik

Adam Kinney — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 19:16:00 GMT

Vladimir Milev and Todd Anglin show us the new Charting and Gauge controls from Telerik. The Charts are very flexible and run in 2D and 3D mode, you can even use your own custom models for the 3D Charts.

The Gauges shown in the video are also now available in Silverlight. Same API for both WPF and Silverlight versions, which should definitely make the life of the developer easier when using them.

Pascal Bourque demonstrates a prototype of the next Datagrid from Xceed. They've improved the datagrid by paying attention to perceived response times and adding some modern functionality like pinned headers and smooth scrolling, that handles flicks with a small amount of viscosity.

Exploring Time and Space with Infragistics

Adam Kinney — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 18:52:00 GMT

Jason Beres takes us on a journey through time and space using the new Timeline, Map and Zoombar controls from Infragistics.

The Timeline and Zoombar make an interesting pair when combined with two sets of historical data. I also like the point Jason makes about how this all done with client-side Silverlight, so the response time is really quick without a page refresh.
