Wow, this is a big achievement and we are extremely proud of it. This is perhaps the culmination, in terms of public recognition, of several years of intense R&D and the result of our “Best of breed” strategy. While many vendors focus on breadth, our goal has always been to be the leaders – from the smallest component to the complete experience of using a suite that spans over the whole .NET stack. Thanks to all customers for the endless support and patience. We couldn’t have done it without you. As usual, we can only promise that this award will not...

Great news! Cell selection will be among the new features that we are going to introduce with Q2 2010.

The dialog is completely customizable and localizable and gives you the ability to modify each object’s display text and icon. Built-in reminder dialog Dialog’s display routine raises several events, allowing you to cancel...

An important part of the new stuff that is coming with Q2 2010 is the brand new RadDesktopAlert component.
