    Telerik Reporting Q2 2012: Access Reports Stored in Different Locations and Formats

    We are very happy to announce the Q2 2012 release of Telerik Reporting. The release includes the official version of the standalone Telerik Report Designer.

    Many of you have probably noticed that RadChart is missing from the online demos for WPF and Silverlight. What’s going on? Don’t worry.

    It has been a while since we introduced the initial version of the OData binding API for our controls.
