Waltham, MA, April 12, 2010 - Telerik, a leading provider of development tools and solutions for the Microsoft .NET Framework platform and a Visual Studio Industry Partner, today announced the simultaneous shipment of its complete product line with the Visual Studio 2010 official launch. With the release of Visual Studio 2010, Microsoft aims to simplify the entire development process from design to deployment. Telerik products leverage the new functionality offered in the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 platform, which enable developers to build rich, interactive applications with unparalleled productivity.
“We are pleased that Telerik, a Visual Studio Industry Partner, has invested early in supporting Visual Studio 2010 and our next generation application development platform, and is today simultaneously shipping support for Visual Studio 2010 in its latest products,” said Jason Zander, general manager of the Visual Studio Developer Division at Microsoft Corp. “Telerik’s latest products enable developers to be more effective in building high-quality applications using the latest Microsoft developer technology.”
With Visual Studio 2010, Microsoft also delivers innovations in core areas critical to developer productivity, such as code quality; new prototyping, modeling and visual design tools; the first interactive design experience for Silverlight, as well as new drag-and-drop bindings for Microsoft Silverlight and Windows Presentation Foundation. Telerik builds on these improvements and extends the productivity enhancements to developers using the Telerik toolbox. The industry’s leading AJAX components, RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX, are fully operational inside Visual Studio 2010. With Telerik Visual Studio Extensions for ASP.NET AJAX, utilizing pure VSIX deployment, developers can jumpstart their projects in the new IDE by taking advantage of automatic project configuration. Furthermore, RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX ship with native .NET Framework 4 Telerik assemblies and full support for all Visual Studio design-time wizards, JavaScript Intellisense, and the new Microsoft Content Delivery Network (CDN).
Telerik’s newly-launched productivity add-in for Visual Studio, JustCode, already provides full Visual Studio 2010 support across all supported languages, including C#, VB.NET, XAML, ASP.NET, JavaScript, HTML, and XML.
RadControls for Silverlight are also seamlessly integrated within Visual Studio 2010, enabling developers to quickly begin developing Silverlight applications with unprecedented design-time support. A design-time preview for each RadControl is supported out of the box, as is the Visual Studio 2010 property explorer for Silverlight controls.
The entire suite of RadControls for WinForms is also available in Visual Studio 2010, with complete design time support, and a new Visual Studio Extensions package, which empowers developers to quickly configure Telerik WinForms applications. Full support for the new .NET Framework 4 Client Profile is provided as well.
Telerik OpenAccess ORM also now offers support for Visual Studio 2010, allowing developers to be more productive when building their data layers and take full control of the mapping process with the powerful Model-First and Schema-First wizards.
Telerik Reporting is visually integrated in Visual Studio 2010, providing full design-time support, including all design-time tools and wizards. Additionally, Telerik WebUI Test Studio supports Visual Studio 2010.
The whole Telerik product portfolio also comes with support for .NET Framework 4.
"Telerik’s products are designed to leverage and support the latest Microsoft technologies, and we work closely with Microsoft to ensure we synchronize our product development with Microsoft’s release schedule," said Svetozar Georgiev, Telerik’s Co-CEO. “Our concentrated focus on innovation and commitment to customers translates into timely delivery of leading-edge updates across the entire Telerik product portfolio.”
