RadChart

RadChart is the fastest chart control for WP7 available on the market, with an intuitive and easy-to-use public API. Read more about the performance test that we run. Super-fast loading and real-time updates, excellent drawing capabilities and pixel-perfectness are some of the features you can enjoy.

RadCalendar

Telerik Calendar control is a component that mimics the behavior of the Metro calendar found on the Windows Phone device. It is gesture-enabled and is highly configurable in terms of styling and functionality. The appointment-awareness and culture-dependency enable the control to use the culture from the device (by default) or let the developers set any other culture supported in .NET. The control supports any appointment source and with the Mango tools it can be integrated with the phone device appointments.

BusyIndicator

The control enables you to display a progress animation to inform your end-users that a long-lasting operation is being performed. The control delivers 8 different animation styles out-of-the-box and also allows for designing custom animations. You can specify custom content as well as define the BusyIndicator position relatively to the displayed animation.

As always we included major new features and improvements in the existing controls.

RadDataBoundListBox

The control now supports CheckBoxes (incl multiple items selection) and improved Data Virtualization.

You can read more about the improved Data Virtualization in the following blog post:

RadListPicker

As we listened to our users and their need to load a lot of items in the control and navigate through them quickly we decided to implement UI Virtualization to boost the performance of the ListPicker control. You can find more details in the RadListPicker for Windows Phone 7 greatly optimized blog post.

RadLoopingList

The control now adds support for horizontal looping.
