| ## New RadScheduler Announced in the First "Futures" Build of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX
| It is our pleasure to announce the availability of our newest scheduling component, RadScheduler, as part of the first "Futures" Build of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. We are dedicated to involve the community early in the development process and want to hear your feedback along the way towards our Q2 release in September. RadScheduler is designed to combine the comprehensive nature of an Outlook-style scheduler with the usability best-practices introduced in Google Calendar. The product is implemented as a single-control which simplifies significantly the deployment and integration process. Built entirely on top of ASP.NET AJAX, RadScheduler delivers rich client-side functionality, swift performance, and effortless customization. RadScheduler makes its first appearance with Day, Week and Month views for flexible display of appointments and tasks, as well as advanced and inline editing capabilities. Adding to its flexibility are custom resources that can be defined in design time and allow users to assign appointments to different users and perform many custom actions. The first "Futures" Build introduces another control in the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX suite - a much improved version of RadChart. RadChart now features a new rendering engine that optimizes performance and produces a polished chart image. The component also supports spline curve areas, empty values approximation, scale breaks and intelligent labels. RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Futures Build is intended for preview only and we do not recommend using the bits in production. The controls are still in development and QA phase. It is our goal to produce regular "Futures" Builds in the coming weeks towards the Q2 release in September. RadWindow and RadEditor are the next controls to be added in the "Futures" Builds.
