Introduced with the 2011 Q2 Release of the
RadControls for AJAX, WinForms, WPF and Silverlight
is the new Toolbox Grouping functionality. Controls in the toolbox will be delivered in multiple tabs, organized by type and role, right after installation.

The next step is defining a command to be executed. This is the...
We were eagerly awaiting the Q1 release to demonstrate you the new cleaner and more flexible API that makes the work with RadTreeView fun. We also wanted to tell you something more about the benefits that come with the new data engine. Now that Q1 2011 is public and the improved RadTreeView is a fact, I would like to introduce the enhancements which we implemented during the last few months. The new data engine that we use in RadTreeView is actually our generic data layer used in RadGridView and other controls such as RadListControl and RadDropDownList. This allowed us to add...
1st click, 2nd click and you are ready to go. These are the steps required to install any Telerik product as of the Q1 2011 release.
