This paper reviews some recent results obtained from multi-wavelength studies that extend from white light to radio. Special emphasis is given to radio observations, which can be used to determine emission mechanisms and to trace electron propagation paths and plasma motions. Multi-wavelength comparisons have been found to be essential when analysing flare- and CME-related eruptions, but significant results have also been obtained in ‘quiet’ Sun studies.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
