    Telerik AJAX controls .NET 2.0 support discontinued as of Q1 2011

    Following the Telerik AJAX Product Support Lifecycle model (which closely resembles the Microsoft one), the time has come to retire the .NET 2.0 support for our AJAX controls. This will happen officially with the Q1 2011 release of the suite, slated in a couple of weeks, meaning that you will no longer receive .NET 2.0 versions of the Telerik AJAX assemblies, projects or VS 2005 integration as part of the installation packs. With this step the .NET 2 versions of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX available in previous releases will enter their extended (paid) support phase as shown in the diagram from...

    RadDatePicker & RadTimePicker for WP7 get null-value support

    You’ve talked and we’ve listened: as of Beta 2 release of RadControls for Windows Phone 7 the RadTimePicker and RadDatePicker controls support null-value.
