With the Q2 Release of RadControls for Windows 8 we announced a new Data Storage framework that fills the gap of a local database solution missing in Windows 8/RT. Our solution is based on the well-established SQLite engine but provides additional functionality. Particularly, we implemented a LINQ to SQLite provider and some simple ORM features for the .NET Framework on top of it. On the JavaScript and HTML 5 side, the ORM capabilities are wrapped by a lightweight library which allows JavaScript developers to take advantage of the local database storage using JS objects and standard SQL expressions.
One of our major commitments in our RadControls for Windows 8 suite is to re-imagine every single piece of functionality for touch and the Modern UI paradigms. Strictly following this commitment our User Experience team has designed innovative yet elegant and fluid interfaces to allow end-users to modify the Grouping state of RadGrid for Windows 8 through touch and mobile devices.
As you may already know our major focus in RadControls for Windows 8 for the upcoming Q1 2013 release is the Grid component. Let’s start with how we envision this control:
What is RadGrid?
We are happy to announce the Service Pack 1 release of our RadControls for Windows 8 suite. Along with the numerous bug fixes and improvements we have also implemented two highly requested new features for our Date/Time Picker components, available both for the XAML and HTML parts of the suite.
