Release

The long-awaited 2012 Q1 with the first official version of RadPdfViewer is already a fact! This is also the first release of the control for WPF, so don’t forget to check it out in the demos if you have missed it: WPF and Silverlight. A big “Thank You” to all who tried using RadPdfViewer for Silverlight when it was still in a beta stage for providing such a valuable feedback on the control! We have come a long way with your help and hope that you will enjoy the improvements that the first official version brings out. For the past few months after...

An image gallery is a popular feature in a website, so we decided to demonstrate how easy and quick it is to build a gallery with the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX and OpenAccess ORM. The finished app is compatible not only with the latest desktop browsers, but also with the major mobile ones.   The list of images on the main page was a perfect opportunity to show off the new client-side data-binding of our RadListView control.
