Roadmap

  Traditionally being an expert in web user interfaces and a pioneer in Silverlight controls development, Telerik now provides developers with a complete toolset for building complete and rich, line-of-business Silverlight applications. In 2008 the Telerik Silverlight suite evolved from several controls in CTP to the most complete Silverlight UI offering on the market featuring 30 advanced controls engineered for outstanding performance and interactivity.

With Q2 2009 we will not only continue extending the Silverlight portfolio, but will also introduce significant performance optimizations for reducing page loading time and improving the user experience.

New control

• RadScheduler – A Microsoft Outlook-style scheduler that allows you to define appointments to visualize the data in the best possible way. The RadScheduler control will features an advanced Edit Form, which can be customized even further allowing you to embed any control inside. You can choose among 3 built-in views, Day, Week and Month, and what is more, you will have the power to customize any of these views.

RadGridView

• New data engine – a more powerful data engine will bring performance to another level, improving significantly data virtualization and scrolling
• New grid skin variations – blue and silver
• Improved documentation

RadChart

• 3D chart
• New chart types - Exploding Pie 2D/3D, Scatter, Error bar
• Improved Expression Blend support
• New chart skin variations – blue and silver
• Improved documentation

RadDocking

• Save/Load Layout –  this feature allows you to save the layout in a stream containing XML. You can choose to save the stream elsewhere, i.e. in the isolated storage. Then, you can easily load the last saved layout
• Update the examples to show the Save/Layout mechanism –  A Save/Load layout example will be added to demonstrate the Save/Load layout feature

Microsoft Expression Blend support

Expression Blend support will be significantly improved and more customization options will be included for all controls.

Microsoft release schedule

We will follow strictly the official Microsoft Silverlight release and there will be a build available against the latest Microsoft version.

Our release plans have been always synced with your needs. All improvements and new functionalities planned for Q2 2009 are coming in direct response to customer feedback.
