We are continuing to explore our Silverlight DataGrid and the Row Preview Feature. This time, let's see how to display an image control using a RowPreviewTemplate.

Azret, I'm impressed with your competent knowledge of SL and the also the depth of this grid. I've got two questions:
a) With all these features, it comes with a big price and that is the size of the grid DLL. How big is it so far?
b) I understand this grid has been under development for some time for WPF, and MSFT recently announced their "New" style and template system with VMS. Does this grid already have support for this new way of styling? If no, is this someting the developers are looking at?
Thanks!

Hi Ben,
a) It is going to be around 300k
b) Yes it does. For B2 we are heavily using the VSM for our styling. For example: The Column Header has 3 states. Normal, Pressed and MouseOver. All those are now managed using VisualStateManager.GoToState instead of looking up the storyboards by name.

Sweeeeet!

Well, I guess I'll be buying one... Who do I send the check to? :-)
Azret, one suggestion:
You're putting these videos as part of the blog system. Based on the rate of blogs that DX has been putting out lately, these Gems[videos] will be pushed out of sight very soon. Out of sight, out of mind!
Either create a new section for AG learning center and put these videos, articles and tutorials there OR let us download the videos to our machines, so we can keep them for re-runs.
I bet you at this time you only have a handful of people following SL stuff but things will change very soon.
You're doing a great job!
Ben
We're readying up a new part of our website that will host these videos. You'll be able to search, review, watch the videos from a page that works much like YouTube.
Cheers, Julian

Gee, you read my mind Julian. I was going to suggest the exact thing!
You should write that website in Silverlight ;-)
Ben,
AgDataGrid is free :) And as Julian said, soon you will be able to see a lot of this kinds of videos in a very organized format.
I watched all the videos refering to this control.
I think controls like these will make me finally "consider" using WPF/Silverlight in my projects more frequently.
However, right now I am still more efficient using Winforms for my C#/DX/ECO/VS development needs. The standard controls need to be there as well (like edits e.g.)
Our new free Silverlight datagrid has just been released and is available for download immediately! Here's
So I was writing a blog on how to bind data to AgDataGrid from a WebService call and got bored. AgDataGrid
It is time my friends to have some fun. And by that I mean let's learn how to use templates with

The cool thing about the Preview area of the data row, is that you can place anything there. For example
