    We are happy to announce that the contest for success stories of applications built with Telerik's ASP.NET MVC Extensions is now over. Thanks to all who participated and shared their experience with our product! We collected tens of success stories and enjoyed reading every single one of them.

    Work Item Manager new version released!

    Happy to announce the new WIM update that is addressing certain issues reported by our great community.   Here is a brief list of improvements we ship with this update:  Error while dragging work items during planning is now fixed. The symptom of this error is that whenever you try to drag and drop a work item or a grid column header, you receive a “Root AdornerLayer not found…” error message.  This issue only happened in some environments so not all users were affected.  Drag and drop should now be working in all environments.

    Introducing Telerik Persistence Framework for Silverlight and WPF

    Have you ever wondered how to save the properties of your UI elements with just one line of code? Do you need to load a previous visual state of an UI element?

With its powerful save and load mechanism, the Persistence Framework allows you to save the UI related properties of your controls in a stream or an isolated storage so that you can retrieve their values later.

    RadDataBoundListBox for WP7 matures, now adds Multiple Items Selection support

    Q2 2011 Beta 2 of RadControls for Windows Phone 7 is on its way and part of the box is a meaty new RadDataBoundListBox feature: multiple items selection ability. As many of you already know, the mail client on all Windows Phones shows a check box next to each visual container thus allowing the end-user to select a bunch of items and perform an action with them. RadDataBoundListBox can now do pretty much the same thing by exposing a very convenient API and neat UX for working with checkboxes. There is now a CheckedItems collection which exposes methods for checking/unchecking items programmatically,...
