XAML RadControls are out with Q1 2010 SP1

Our main focus with Q1 2010 SP1 release is the official launch of RadControls for Silverlight 4 RTW. Shortly after the official announcement on April 15th we delivered the natively built suite on Silverlight 4 to empower our clients with the advantages of the new capabilities for developing robust enterprise applications. The suite features support for both Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and Microsoft SharePoint 2010.

With Q1 2010 SP1 we have delivered installations for both Silverlight 3 and Silverlight 4. We’ll keep the support for Silverlight 3 with full installations until the Q2 2010 release and after that will ship upgrades only with binaries. The binaries for Silverlight 3 will contain only major bug fixes but won’t include new features. This support will be discontinued with our Q3 release when we believe the full adoption of VS 2010 and Silverlight 4 will be completed.

Another important note regarding the current SP1 release is that the default installations are still targeting Silverlight 3 since this is the initial release of Q1 2010 and we are trying to avoid faulty installations. If you need the Silverlight 4 bits please refer to the files titled with Silverlight 4.
