    RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX are now compatible with DotNetNuke 5.0.0

    At the very end of 2008, the DotNetNuke Corporation released a new major version of their web application framework - DNN 5.0.0.

Using the latest official .NET Framework (3.5) the answer was ‘no’. Fortunately, this is possible with the client-side templates introduced in the next version of the .NET Framework – 4.0. Currently it is in a Preview stage and you can find its roadmap here.  We have already demonstrated how to use the new client-side templates in RadTreeView and RadGrid.
