    Q1 release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX will require .NET 3.5 Service Pack 1

    Starting with the Q1 2010 release we’ll be building against .NET 3.5 SP1. This is a new requirement and older releases are still compatible with .NET 3.5 RTM. There is no change in the requirements for the .NET 2.0 builds. Generally speaking, there is no reason why you shouldn’t install .NET 3.5 SP1 on your servers and workstations since this is the current official version of the framework. The reason for this requirement is that we’ll start shipping official .NET 4.0 builds of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX when VS 2010/.NET 4 RTM comes out. The service pack is a prerequisite for using the 4.0...

    Items Drag and Drop for RadListView for ASP.NET AJAX

    With the 2010.Q1 release, RadListView for ASP.NET AJAX is getting a fancy new client capability.

Setting up RadListView to enable items drag & drop will be a piece of cake. Besides the usual AllowSomeFunctionality-type of property, all you will need to do will be: Use a CSS marker on an HTML element in the ItemTemplate / AlternatingItemTemplate to mark the bounds of a list view item. The content inside your HTML container marked by this CSS...
