Jesse and I would like to thank you all for attending the “Dramatically Improve Your Next XAML Enterprise Application with PivotGrid, Spreadsheet, and Telerik Reporting” webinar.

If you have any questions, then feel free to email us or send us a tweet. You may also go ahead and download your own copy of the WPF and Silverlight control suite right now.

Just as a friendly reminder, Telerik’s RadControls for WPF/Silverlight and Telerik Reporting are both available as part of the DevCraft Complete Bundle.  For the price of two of these products purchased individually, you can have the entire collection!
