Release

Just one month after the official release of Visual Studio 2012, I am proud to announce the immediate availability of RadControls for WinForms Q2 2012 SP2 release that is built with better Visual Studio 2012 user experience in mind.

Introduction Hello and welcome to our “First Look” of Telerik’s Windows 8 UI Controls. In this post, we are going to specifically target Windows 8 Applications built using HTM5/JS/CSS3 and our new Windows 8 control suite. Have you ever wanted to create a Metro Application that had a more powerful ComboBox with functionality such as auto-complete or placeholder text?

Maybe you are writing an application that needs the user to select from a list of World Countries, but don’t know where to start. In this blog post,...
