... Function on the Inside...
- Unique Architecture, Inspired by WPF – The Telerik Presentation Framework provides a completely customizable architecture for the controls in the suite by following WPF best practices. The Framework and its tools supply attractive and functional defaults for the Telerik RadControls, while simultaneously allowing developers to exercise very fine-grained, CSS-like control over every aspect of their appearance and behavior.
- Unlimited Nesting of UI Elements – The uniform nature of the control architecture makes it possible to nest controls within each other for more flexible and modern user interfaces, unseen before.
- WPF-like Effects in Classic Windows Forms – While RadControls for WinForms allow stunning visual effects, there is no learning curve involved to using them because they come with the well-familiar technology of classic Windows Forms. They just look better!
- Shape Editor – You can use the Shape Editor to create curved free-form designs for your UI elements on an integrated drawing surface. There is no code involved, keeping the design as simple as possible.
