Why Choose
True ASP.NET AJAX Controls
Telerik RadControls are developed on top of Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX, and do not introduce yet another AJAX implementation. As a result you can enjoy all the benefits of the industry-standard Microsoft technology. Your apps will be as fast, as secure, and as memory efficient as is Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX.
Familiar ASP.NET AJAX API
No need to learn another vendor’s API – if you have worked with ASP.NET AJAX, you know how to work with RadControls and you can enjoy the product’s extensive client-side JavaScript API without a steep learning curve. Our product use the same events, naming and base methods. We are simply extending it to provide an even richer experience.
Integrated jQuery
RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX includes the jQuery library and supports it natively. jQuery is used for advanced visual effects as well as for html, css and JavaScript manipulation. jQuery is also an important element of our client-side databinding and we use it for advanced calling of PageMethods and WebServices.
Wide Cross-browser Support
RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX provides a consistent experience across all the major browsers: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Google Chrome. If an update or a new browser is coming, we will be the first to support it!

Semantic Rendering
Telerik’s AJAX UI controls use advanced CSS rather than HTML tables in order to keep the page output clean and minimal. The semantic rendering not only improves the responsiveness of your applications but also makes your web pages more easily understandable by screen readers (for visually impaired users) and thus increases accessibility. There’s another benefit coming from the semantic markup of our UI controls – the HTML is much more search engine (SEO) friendly.
Visual Appeal
RadControls come with several uniform skins to ensure the design consistency of your applications. From website to Intranet to Web 2.0 application you can benefit from aesthetically looking themes and skins. And if that’s not good enough, you can always customize them.
Wealth of Technical Resources
A product is as good as its supporting resources. We have amassed a wealth of technical documentation, free courseware, videos, interactive training sessions, KB articles, code library items and many other support resources to aid you in your quest for better web UIs.
Full .NET 3.5 Support
The Telerik AJAX controls fully leverage .NET 3.5 and come with built-in support for LINQ, LinqDataSource, EntityDataSource, ADO.NET DataServices, MVC and Dynamic Data. While RadControls allow you to adopt the latest technologies they also fully support .NET 2.0.
Exceptional Performance
Achieving performance is typically one of the biggest challenges in web development. By selecting RadControls you will deliver unrivaled performance even in the most demanding Enterprise applications. RadControls features numerous capabilities to improve your performance such as built-in AJAX, built-in JSON, ViewState and HTTP compression, client-side databinding, efficient rendering with sprites and semantic HTML, script combining, and many more.
Rich Client-side Capabilities
Web 2.0 is all about rich experiences in the browser, client-side binding and editing, disconnected apps, mash-ups, etc. RadControls delivers a client-side API that is nearly identical to its rich server-side API. Using the client-side features alongside with client-side databinding, WebServices and lightweight JSON calls, you can deliver unmatched user experiences and take the browser experience to another level.
Cloud Support: Amazon S3, Windows Azure and More
