I've seen a blog on CodeFluent Entities's site about auto-generating a WPF UI using CodeFluent Entities and Syncfusion but I have Telerik WPF controls and wanted to know whether anyone has already done this and can point me in the right direction?
The Syncfusion producer is based on a template, so you can get a copy of the code and replace the Syncfusion controls by the Telerik controls in the template files. For instance you can replace the Syncfusion DataGrid by a Telerik DataGrid in the file EntityView.xaml.tpl.

ok, I'm totally confused. I'm new to WPF (don't know how many times I read this sentence in the last week) and I'm investigating in DataGrids for my project.
The DataGrid in WPF 4.0 does not provide too many features. Can anybody tell me if that grid is the same as in the WPF Toolkit?
Did the code from that project became part of .NET4.0?
If not, is there anywhere documentation on the WPF Toolkit DataGrid?
thank you
As far as I know DataGrid started as external control in WPF Toolkit but then was included in standard control library in WPF 4 (see related topic). So if you`re using WPF 4 then you don`t need no external toolkits to use DataGrid, and all it`s documentation can be found on MSDN: DataGrid.
There is a topic about datagrids here. It`s old but still more or less actual.
Is there any site available where I can find free WPF controls like Griview ? I am currently working on a complex project where I need a customizable WPF Gridview like telerik
You can use controls from the WPF Toolkit as well as Extended WPF Toolkit.
Have a look at the controls in AvalonControlsLibrary on code plex, it is having a DataGridView control apart from other controls. -

DataGridView
DataGridView is a maybe a misleading name for this control. This control is far from being the same as the WinForms DataGridView (maybe someday it will J). Basically this control is a WPF ListView control but it is capable of auto generate the GridViewColumns for you. It generates the columns by looking at the objects’ properties. You can also specify how you generate the columns by decorating your properties with a custom attribute. For more information have a look at this post. http://marlongrech.wordpress.com/2007/09/01/listview-with-auto-generation-of-column-enable-disable-columns/
Similar SF question - Where can I find free WPF controls and control templates?
On codeplex.com and codeproject.com. However the best always cost money.
We have slowly been creating UI Automation tests using Ranorex on our product but have ran into several problems.
We are using Telerik Wpf controls (TabControl, TreeView, Grid and Docking) and so far we've only been able to test the TreeView and Grid using Ranorex. We replaced the TabControl for the standard Wpf TabControl which works with Ranorex. However the Docking control does not work and of course there is no standard out of the box Wpf Docking control for us to use instead.
My question is this: Does anybody know of any Wpf Docking controls that can be tested using an UI Automation tool (preferably Ranorex)?
I found AvalonDock, which at first looked promising, but according to this thread on their site it doesn't support UI Automation :(
Cheers for any comments,
Siy
As of now, Telerik has their own product that supports UI automation for WPF - Telerik Test Studio - including RadDocking control.
I've been experimenting with WPF and just downloaded the toolkit which includes a DataGrid control. Does anyone know where I can find a fully worked through example of binding a database table to the WPF DataGrid?
Here is a blog that has some articles on DataGrid binding.
Does any know how to implement drag and drop in the silverlight toolkit's treeview?
I saw the drag and drop manager for silverlight but supposedly you can put containers around the items you want to drag and drop but I wonder how I would do this on another treeviewitem exactly?
Maybe there is a better way or custom way? Thanks!
The Silverlight Toolkit October (09) release (http://silverlight.codeplex.com/) has added support for drag and drop.
There is a great walk though of the new feature here: http://themechanicalbride.blogspot.com/2009/08/new-with-silverlight-toolkit-drag-and.html
One method that should work is using Telerik controls.
First download the telerik controls then add a reference to Telerik.Windows.Controls; that will allow you to use the IsDragnDropEnable property for the source treeview and the .AllowDrop for the Targeted TreeView
