Telerik RadUniformGrid in Windows Phone 7 Via WCF Service

Introduction

Today, in this article let's learn another new and wonderful concept related to Windows Phone 7, whereby communicating with WCF Service to perform some operation.

The Telerik Rad Controls for Windows Phone 7 can be downloaded from http://www.telerik.com/products/windows-phone.aspx.

The Rad Message Box is used to display the output in a nice and enhanced UI.

Question: What is RadUniformGrid?

In simple terms "The RadUniformGrid panel is a layout panel that allows for ordering items in rows and columns. You can specify the amount of rows and columns by using the NumberOfRows and NumberOfColumns properties. The RadUniformGrid also implies that each row and each column will have the same height/width."

Question: What is the difference between RadUniformGrid, Dock Panel and Wrap Panel?

Let's get this implemented practically for a better idea of this!!!

Step 1: The complete code of the IService1.cs looks like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Text;

namespace WCF_Uniform_Grid
{
// NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the interface name "IService1" in both code and config file together.
[ServiceContract]
public interface IService1
{

[OperationContract]
double add(double a, double b);

[OperationContract]
double sub(double a, double b);

[OperationContract]
double mul(double a, double b);

[OperationContract]
double div(double a, double b);
}
}

Step 2: The complete code of the Service1.svc.cs looks like this:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Runtime.Serialization;

using System.ServiceModel;

using System.ServiceModel.Web;

using System.Text;

namespace WCF_Uniform_Grid
{
// NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the class name "Service1" in code, svc and config file together.
public class Service1 : IService1
{
public double add(double a, double b)
{
return a + b;
}

public double sub(double a, double b)
{
return a - b;
}

public double mul(double a, double b)
{
return a * b;
}

public double div(double a, double b)
{
return a / b;
}
}
}

Step 3: The complete code of the Web.Config looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>

<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
</system.web>
<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior>

<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>

<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
<system.webServer>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
</system.webServer>

</configuration>

Step 4: The complete code of the MainPage.xaml looks like this:

<phone:PhoneApplicationPage

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="Transparent">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>

<StackPanel x:Name="TitlePanel" Grid.Row="0" Margin="12,17,0,28">
<TextBlock x:Name="ApplicationTitle" Text="Rad Uniform Grid - WCF Service App" FontFamily="Verdana" FontSize="22" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextNormalStyle}"/>
<TextBlock x:Name="PageTitle" Text="Windows 7 Phone" Margin="9,-7,0,0" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextTitle1Style}"/>
</StackPanel>

<Grid x:Name="ContentPanel" Grid.Row="1" Margin="12,0,12,0">
<TextBlock x:Name="txtBlock1"

HorizontalAlignment="Left"

Text="Please Enter First Number: "
VerticalAlignment="Top" />

</Grid>

</phone:PhoneApplicationPage>
