    RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX - Now with more speed!

    The Q3 2009 release comes packed with goodies and we hope you'll enjoy the new additions to your toolbox. And it's fast too.

    Telerik CAB Enabling Kit for RadControls for WinForms moving to CodePlex

    Being one of the first vendors to provide support for the CAB and the SCSF, Telerik is strongly committed to provide seamless and easy integration with the CAB infrastructure. We provide new releases of the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit for RadControls for WinForms (TCEK) with each Telerik release, and recently Robert Shoemate, our WinForms Developer Evangelist, posted several blogs on the features that we support.

We believe this will give you an incentive to provide updates...
