I would like to answer a few questions that you might have about our brand new RadScheduleView control.   Q) When is the Silverlight version coming? A) We will do our best to provide the Silverlight version by the end of the year. UPDATE: We already published a pre-beta version that can be downloaded in this forum. The Beta is expected in Mid February, the RTM version will be available with Q1 2011 in Mid March. Q) Why did you create a new control instead of changing the existing RadScheduler?

This is very useful if you want to enable the exact same business data access logic for clients other than Silverlight. For example to a WPF, WinForms or WebForms application. Thus we have made some tests locally and decided to share our observations in this post. Prerequisites: We will examine the WCF...
