- Predefined layouts – The template mechanism of Telerik RadListView allows you to model the look and feel of each of its elements in a completely custom manner. With RadListView, you can layout your data any way you like.

Hi,
I'm curious to know if this is a feature I'm missing or will be a feature down the road.
Either way, this is great and will be replacing a bunch of my RadGrids, hopefully producing much less html since it doesn't build in a table format.

Can you offer a smaller download of just DLL+Scripts?
Can this be included in the "latest internal build" section in the future?

Hello Chris,
Currently RadListView does not support client-side binding. Of course our team will continue working on improving RadListView server/client functionality.

When will the Q3 2009 beta Become "official" ?

Hi FAR,
The second download you see is the latest public internal build of the Q2 2009 release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. The first download is the Q3 2009 Beta version of the suite.
The ETA for the official Q3 2009 release targets the first week of November.
Best,
Sebastian

I know I'm not the sharpest tack in the box, but why is the release date for Q3 2009 BETA 16-OCT-09 and in the forae you Telerik guys have been saying it would be available sometime after the second week in NOV? On the other hand, the release date of Q2 2009 build 1028 is 28-OCT-09 - over a week later than the release date of the beta. Then, there is Q3 2009 1103 MVC build dated 03-NOV-09. Finally, there are a number of hotfixes with various release dates.
You think you guys at Telerik could come up with a single table documenting your software releases so we mere mortals can make some sense of them and possibly even make a deployment decision based on knowledge and reason?
It sure would be helpful.
Cheers!
Mark

Hello Mark,
There is no official release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX on October 28, 2009. This is an internal build. Internal hotfix builds for a given major version (e.g. Q2 2009) are released until the next major version (Q3 2009) is introduced officially, so it is normal to have ones after the next version's beta.
Here is the list of all official releases:
http://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/whats-new/release-history.aspx
Since we have 3 major releases a year, generally, the Q1 release is around March, the Q2 release is around July and the Q3 release is around November. Service packs (1 or 2) have a more flexible schedule and depend on the encountered issues in the major version. We publish information about future releases on our product pages, e.g.
http://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/whats-new.aspx
With regard to RadControls for MVC, I recommend you to keep an eye on the following pages for up-to-date information:
