  thanks  , but we would like to see a tutorial on telerik reporting in a real example of an invoice

  This is really great.  Should all of the current SL RadControls work within LS?  If so, I'll start using them now. 
  
  
  
  Will you please consider starting up a separate forum for LS?

  Can we add all controls
  
  http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#Controls
  
  or just the grid
  
  becasue if we can add all controls, we can certainly make LightSwitch a truly Business RAD, becasue of the Telerik Professional Grade of controls

  Hi Vlad,
  
  It's not a very good solution if you have to create a custom control, every time you want to use a Telerik control, & having the bindings hard-coded into it. Unless I'm misunderstanding something?
  
  Telerik need to look into building LS custom control extensions, with the help of the LightSwitch Extensability Cookbook, so that properties can be wired as with any other LS control.

  Please

  You can put all the xaml code to see it

  @Flexsoluciones, Garth, denny and Oscar! Indeed you can use all Telerik components using this approach including the report viewer. We will do our best to add more official examples, tutorials, etc related to LightSwitch in the future. 
  
  Hi Yann, You can remove declared columns and bind the grid directly to Value property if you want this user control to be reusable:
  

  <telerik:RadGridView ItemsSource="{Binding Value}"

  telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Office_Blue"

  RowDetailsVisibilityMode="VisibleWhenSelected">

  <telerik:RadGridView.RowDetailsTemplate>

  <DataTemplate>

  <telerik:RadDataForm CurrentItem="{Binding}" telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Office_Blue" />

  </DataTemplate>

  </telerik:RadGridView.RowDetailsTemplate>

  </telerik:RadGridView>

  
  
  @mae and okplus. The only code I've added manually is the posted XAML. No additional C#!

  Thanks Vladimir,
  
  Should the delete and edit functions be working or are there some steps missing?  The delete throws and error when saving changes and the edit seems to only pick up the first record.  I tried this on my own and then downloaded the example and seem to have the same problem with both of them. 
  
  
  
  Thanks for this tutorial!

  Thanks for the clarification.

  Any chance you can show an example with the ReportViewer control?
  
  I keep getting a "Element is already the child of another element. [Line: 0 Position: 0]" XamlParseException when attempting the same with the ReportViewer control.
  
  Cheers,

  I'm facing the same problem, edit and delete always point to the first item and not to the selected one.
• Vlad 11 Apr 2011
  Hi guys,
  
  You can add SelectedItem="{Binding Value.SelectedItem, Mode=TwoWay}" to fix delete/edit of the items. 
  
  @Paul - Can you verify if you've added Telerik.ReportViewer.Silverlight.dll in the custom control Add Reference dialog? I had exactly the same problems when the component dll was not added as reference in this dialog.

  How about using data paging?

  How about using data paging?
• Vlad 12 Apr 2011
  Hi Andy,
  
  Here is an example for paging:
  

  <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">

  <Grid.RowDefinitions>

  <RowDefinition />

  <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />

  </Grid.RowDefinitions>

  <telerik:RadGridView ItemsSource="{Binding PagedSource, ElementName=RadDataPager1}" SelectedItem="{Binding Value.SelectedItem, Mode=TwoWay}"

  telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Office_Blue"

  RowDetailsVisibilityMode="VisibleWhenSelected">

  <telerik:RadGridView.RowDetailsTemplate>

  <DataTemplate>

  <telerik:RadDataForm CurrentItem="{Binding}" telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Office_Blue" />

  </DataTemplate>

  </telerik:RadGridView.RowDetailsTemplate>

  </telerik:RadGridView>

  <telerik:RadDataPager x:Name="RadDataPager1" Source="{Binding Value}" PageSize="10" Grid.Row="1" telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Office_Blue" />

  </Grid>

  Hey,
  
  Is it possible to show examples for some other controls eg scheduler?
