RadDataPager is a result of an increasing demand from our customers who needed to work with large amounts of server data presented in small portions at the client side.  The primary goal was to make a powerful data paging control to be used in any scenarios requiring getting and presenting portions of data.

    WinForms RadGridView vNext will feature new hierarchy modes and performance improvements!

    During the past year, we received many suggestions for new features and bug fixes for RadGridView for WinForms.

    New Timeline View in RadScheduler for WinForms

    As Q1 2010 is approaching, we thought it would be a good idea to tell you a few words about the new features in RadScheduler for WinForms. RadScheduler for WinForms will include a brand new Timeline View  , designed to display continuous schedule for one or multiple resources. Time-slot duration, time-slot cells count, visible resources count and view’s duration will be fully customizable. For example you can set the time-slot duration to any value from 15 minutes to 1 year and restrict your scheduler view from 01/01/2009 to 01/01/2011.  The screenshot below shows a timeline view grouped by...
