Hi all

We're new to Telerik controls, and are somewhat overloaded by all the different controls.

There seems to be a lack of clear organisation that would make it obvious which controls do what. For example, what is the difference between Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.GridViewDataControl and Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadGridView and when would I use which.

Any suggestions guidance on this issue in general?

Thanks

Hello Jaans,

RadGridView derives from GridViewDataControl. GridViewDataControl is not supposed to be used directly from your code in most cases. Where did you see an example with GridViewDataControl?

Please, use RadGridView.

All the best,

i agree with the original poster. i just installed the latest silverlight controls using the supplied installer.  both the radgridview and gridviewdatacontrol were selectable options in the toolbox. do you have a list of controls which should be in the toolbox so that i can remove the ones not recommended? i spent about 20-30 minutes tracking down the difference between these two controls before stumbling upon this explanation and would like to avoid further rabbit chasing if possible. thanks. silverlight is overwhelming enough as it is : )

Hello Tim,

Indeed, you are all right. We will remove GridViewDataControl from the ToolBox so that there are no confusion.
