Release

The June issue of MSDN is out earlier than planned and this gives me freedom to blog about some very important developments in the telerik product offering. If you are an MSDN subscriber and you do not completely disregard the product ads, you might have noticed that "telerik is growing" and our ASP.NET product line will be soon complemented by a set of Windows Forms components and a Reporting tool. If you are interested in getting more information and seeing a preview of the Telerik Reporting and Windows Forms product lines, please stop by booth 819 at TechEd USA to meet with our...

I should have posted this a few days ago, but I have been so busy that this Easter (Orthodox Easter, is THE Easter in Bulgaria) Saturday morning is my first blogging opportunity for the whole week. I was writing an article on Drip and contacted Matthias Miller, the tool's developer, about some of the limitation of the tool that I've described here . He confirmed my findings, and while I wasn't watching he pulled some ninja coding skills and sent me a new build that detected more leaks and had none of the original limitations. It worked like a charm, and Drip...

I love the smell of AJAX in the morning.  Hmm, no more listening to Sodom till the end of the week!!The last few days have been overwhelming.  We have been doing our best to wrap up a the beta release of r.a.d.callback.  We are finally done, and the build has gone live.  Yes it is true now!  Go get it from the beta forum, play with it and get that feedback back to us. So, what's new and cool in there?  My favorite feature is the huge boost that the CallbackPanel got.  It is not a dumb container that only knows how to execute JavaScript...

DotNetNuke 4.0 was officially released about a month ago, giving a major revamp to the project, now specifically designed for .NET 2.0 and offering Visual Studio 2005 support. Although there were some inevitable glitches, in my opinion DNN 4.0 is a solid release. Porting the existing r.a.d.controls for DNN to 4.0 proved to be a straightforward task. Almost all our DNN controls compiled right away after simply replacing the old .NET 1.1 assemblies with the 2.0 ones (e.g. RadEditor.dll -> RadEditor.NET2.dll). The main task was to simplify the new distributions by taking advantage of the new functionality offered by .NET 2.0. All skinobjects and...

The Q4 release finally went live last Friday! It was our hardest, but also our best release so far. We added 5 new controls to the suite (upload, input, calendar, window, toolbar), released major updates for r.a.d.grid and r.a.d.combobox, extended the in-built AJAX support of most products, and on top of that, we were on the front line with full support for Visual Studio 2005. Here's a link to the complete news release: http://www.telerik.com/Default.aspx?PageId=1861&b21ActiveNewsId=bBj&b21CategoryId=drh I am particularly thrilled by r.a.d.grid 3.0. and r.a.d.window. The latter offers some unique capabilities and is a great addition to the r.a.d.controls suite as it allows developers to easily build applications with...
