Why Choose
Long History of Collaboration with Microsoft
Telerik has a significant technology expertise in the MCMS and SharePoint technologies and a long-standing alliance with Microsoft. In 2004 Microsoft first joined forces with Telerik to provide Telerik RadEditor as a free alternative to the default HTML placeholder in MCMS 2002. The cross-browser compatibility and usability of the product led to its quick adoption, and in the following three years it was implemented by hundreds of organizations worldwide.
Telerik RadEditor for Sharepoint
The industry preferred Telerik rich text Editor for ASP.NET AJAX comes
with a custom wrapper that can be immediately plugged in any SharePoint
project. Whether you need a mere Textbox with Google-like
spellchecker, or a Word-like content authoring environment, the result
is the same: clean XHTML output, fast rendering, widest cross-browser
support, and tons of features. After all, RadEditor is what Microsoft
chose to use in MSDN, CodePlex, TechNet, MCMS.
True ASP.NET AJAX Controls
Telerik RadControls are developed on top of Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX, and
do not introduce yet another AJAX implementation. As a result you can
enjoy all the benefits of the industry-standard Microsoft technology.
Your apps will be as fast, as secure, and as memory efficient as is
Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX.
Rich Client-side Capabilities
Web 2.0 is all about rich experiences in the browser, client-side
binding and editing, disconnected apps, mash-ups, etc. RadControls
delivers a client-side API that is nearly identical to its rich
server-side API. Using the client-side features alongside with
client-side databinding, WebServices and lightweight JSON calls, you
can deliver unmatched user experiences and take the browser experience
to another level.
Royalty-free, per developer licensing model
With the Developer License of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX you are able
to use the components in all your web applications – both standard
ASP.NET AJAX projects and solutions based on SharePoint 2007. Our
Developer License allows 1 developer to work with the design-time
product. The License is perpetual and has NO deployment limitations –
it allows the use of our controls for an unlimited number of
applications spanning various servers and domains. In contrast to
competitive products, the Telerik Developer License works WITHOUT

to SharePoint’s native rich text editor, as part of a close
collaboration with Microsoft. RadEditor Lite is a limited version to
Telerik’s widely used
HTML Editor (

Lite provides the much needed cross-browser compatibility (i.e. with
Mozilla 1.3+ and Netscape 7.1+ browsers) and support for the Macintosh
platform (i.e. Safari browser) which lacked in the native editor.
