I this post I will try to explain the difference between those three commonly used properties. Each property is described in a separate section. Attached you can find a sample web site as well as two screenshots visually depicting the difference between the ID, ClientID and UniqueID properties. The ID property is used to assign an identifier to an ASP.NET server control which can be later used to access that control.

The powerful Control Template and Styling mechanism of the forthcoming RadTreeView for Silverlight 2 will allow you to easily create a "bracket" view. The forthcoming CTP release of RadControls for Silverlight 2 (that will be live as soon as Microsoft launches the official Silverlight 2 Beta 2) will feature such an example in the QSF section.

First and most important is that the 5.0 version uses RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX. The new editor offers many improvements over the previous RadEditor for ASP.NET, too many to list here.

A lot of time passed since my last post , and lot of things have changed and were added to our unique RadControls for WinForms offer. Today, I'd like to direct the spotlight at RadMaskedEditBox for WinForms, which offers some pretty impressive functionality you will find useful in your applications.
