Join us as we recap the new ASP.NET Core components so far in 2020, and preview the new controls that will be released with Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core in R3 2020.
Hey Developer Folks, it’s been a month since our last release in June, and it’s time for the Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core July update. In this blog post we will highlight some important updates from first half of 2020 and give you a sneak preview of the new components and features planned for release in September 2020 and more!
We shipped several new UI for ASP.NET Core components through Feb-June 2020: TileLayout, Stepper, Wizard, Form, Pager, Textbox and many new features to popular controls such as Grid server grouping with virtualization and Scheduler Search. We additionally delivered floating labels for Input components, modern rendering for Calendar, DatePicker, TimePicker and DateTimePicker components, new Visual Studio Dashboard Project template and improved theming experience in Progress ThemeBuilder.
The latest Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core release is compatible with .NET 5.0 preview 6 and we aim at staying current with all updates by Microsoft in the preview versions of .NET 5.0 until its official release in November.
The Progress Control Panel now provides two options to easily set up the Telerik private NuGet feed and get access across Telerik UI components. You can use setup and update the associated credentials from the Control Panel Login and Options screens as shown in the images below.

The Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Team is continuously working on improving and expanding not only the UI component library, but also its documentation, examples and knowledge base articles.
With R2 2020 we updated many of our component demos to give a more complex overview examples of what you can achieve in real world scenarios using UI components such as the Grid, Scheduler, Editor and more.

We regularly monitor your documentation feedback and try to deliver new articles based on your needs. An example of such is handling datetimeoffset values which appeared to be a topic of high interest, so we created an article and example that illustrate how to manage it in your applications.
