Desktop: WinForms

Our customers who use the Telerik ASP.NET line of controls are used to having paging in their grids. This approach, however, is seldom used for WinForms applications, although there are cases when paging in WinForms grids is needed as well, especially when there are million records in the database (literally). You may have seen the blog post by Vladimir Enchev about implementing paging with RadGridView for WPF (if you have not, this is the right time to do so :)). A couple of days ago Mr. Enchev came by and said "You know guys, you could do the same thing with your WinForms...

I am excited of the many good things to come in our WinForms offering in the near future and I am determined to keep you posted about...

Introducing the RadCarousel component into our suite can be compared to what the Big Bang was to the Universe in the early days. We’ve seen it all - from feature requests straight after its initial release, to statements it is worth as much as the entire suite.
