RadPageView will be the successor of RadPanelBar and RadTabStrip by
providing different views over a collection of pages. Each page is a
stand-alone Panel where controls may be added through the Visual
Studio Designer. The control is fully customizable yet greatly
optimized for both memory consumption and performance. It will offer
better item sizing and spacing, as well as extended orientation modes over the other two controls.

What will happen to the old controls?
The old controls will be supported for at least one year after the release of Q2 2010. Users will nevertheless be encouraged to use
RadPageView since it addresses the fundamental shortcomings of the previous controls.
Is upgrading to the new controls easy?
Upgrading from the old to the new control should be easy and painless, unless you have extended the previous controls with custom functionality. If this is the case, please
contact Telerik support and we will help you move to the new version. We will also try to provide an automatic upgrade tool with Q2 2010 SP1.
Videos and instructions on how to upgrade from the old versions to the new control will be posted shortly.
How do I get support for the new controls?
To get technical support, either contact Telerik support or post in the PageView Forum.
