Desktop: WinForms

As promised, I am following up with the second part of the work we have done on RadGridView during the past release. If you have read the first part, you would remember that our goal was to provide a stable, fast and usable GridView product which has to live up to Telerik’s high standards. In  Re-engineering RadGridView for WinForms (part I) I talked about: Improvements to the UI and element painting in the Telerik Presentation Framework (TPF), which raised RadGridView’s painting speed with some 30-60%, depending on the scenario the grid is used in;  Performance improvements in the data layer, which had an astonishing...

Shortly after the release of Q2 2007 SP1 in October we have started re-factoring RadGridView for WinForms. Our aim was to provide our clients with a stable, performing and usable product - tasks of great importance both to our customers, and to us being the supporting party. Last week we released the beta of RadControls for WinForms Q3 2007, which includes our newest controls, but it does not give much details on our progress with vNEXT of RadGridView.

There's a telerik contest going on. The requirements are simple - you have to prepare a small app using our WinForms controls and fill in a survey. We've already started receiving participants' applications and I'm really amazed how quickly people get used to our controls, and especially how fast they've learned to use the Visual Style Builder application (the application which helps you create a theme and style each telerik Windows Forms UI control). We'll be offering three iPods as 3rd prizes, an Xbox 360 as the second prize, and the winner will get a fabulous 4 day trip to Hawaii! Why Hawaii? Well, there's...
