    Changes in RadInput in Q2 2012 version of RadControls

    As you already know we have introduced new rendering model for RadInput in Q3 2011. It was later set as default mode in Q1 2012. The initial idea behind this change was to remove 2 of the input elements from the output HTML of the control and use a span that to overlay the visible one in order to show the formatted value. With this approach we really have fewer elements on the page and in the same time we could show, validate and submit different values. We also removed the table in order to provide better styling potential and boost...

It minimizes the startup time for your application and...

    About RadTreeView for WinForms and its Supercharged engine

    In Q1 2011 we introduced a highly improved version of the RadTreeView control which had all of its internal parts rebuilt in order to support full UI virtualization and customization. This allowed us to attach a new data engine that provided many new and useful features such as built-in filtering and sorting independent from the external data-sources, and support for CRUD operations. For Q3 2011 and Q3 2011 SP1 we made additional improvements to our data engine and in the synchronization between the UI and the data layers. Now, there are two questions which we have been asked lately: “Is the new RadTreeView...
