Silverlight Grid Webinar - Introduction to Data Access and More!

     

Everyone, if you missed today’s webinar, the recorded version is now available. Click the image below to head over to the DevExpress Channel and watch the video:

Silverlight_Grid_Webinar_Data_Access

In this webinar, we covered...

  • How to bind to data using WCF RIA Services (read-only)
  • Create the appropriate infrastructure and code to display a print preview
  • Print and Exporting options available to the DXGrid control
  • How to manually create columns and how to configure unbound columns
  • How to create unbound expressions at design time and modify it at runtime
  • Apply different themes
  • Bind to a list of data through code
  • Right-to-Left Language support

I have also attached to this post the project which I used for the printing and exporting example. The project of course assumes the presence of the sample Northwind database on a local instance of SQL Server Express, but any data can be used in conjunction with this application.
