The spring release brings a significant addition to the Telerik portfolio of developer tools with the first release of Telerik Reporting.

The new report generation engine offers a very convenient object model and solid Visual Studio 2005 integration to allow customers to easily generate Win, Web and PDF reports, with more formats on their way. Referred to as "Easibility", the development experience offers drag and drop databinding capabilities, ability to plug in custom renderers, a Visual Studio-identical datasource wizard, fine-grained CSS-like styling mechanism, rich set of measurement units and a wealth of other features that can accelerate the creation and styling of company reports.

Telerik Reporting is available for download from all Client.Net accounts.

Enjoy the newest Telerik addition!

Telerik is thrilled to unveil a landmark Q1 2007 release, which outlines the next steps in the company’s strategic direction. Q1 2007 is the biggest release for Telerik to date, including RadControls for ASP.NET, RadControls for WinForms, the first official version of Telerik Reporting, as well as a brand new suite code-named RadControls “Prometheus” for ASP.NET.

Three new major controls have been added to the UI suite – RadGridView, RadTreeView, and RadChart.

Could it be possible ever?

it's the 23 now but I can't find any downloadlink for the long awaited 20007 Q1 ;)

... skipped the gym, rushed in to work to get a head's up on the new stuff. Nothing. Gutted.

I would like to voice my opinion for an ASP.NET Scheduling Component based on the requested feedback from the following post:
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/thread/b311D-tbdhb.aspx

We are currently researching components for use in a custom developed company internal scheduling tool that will be used by multiple business units. Based on this we have come up with the feedback listed below.

Key Requirements

• AJAX support
• Robust client-side object model
• Solid drag and drop support
• Recurring tasks/appointments
• Task/Appointment alerts
• Style look and feel via CSS
• Cross browser compatible (IE -- 6 & 7, Firefox -- PC & Mac)
• Concise HTML markup
• Not ViewState dependent.
• Support for database storage a must (other storage types a nice to have)

Scenarios

• Day, Week, Month views.
• Ability to show tasks/appointments for multiple resources on the same view.
• Drag tasks/appointments within a day and use drag to change start/end times.
• Drag tasks/appointments between days.
• Show multiple taks/appointments with varying colors.
• Have tasks/appointments with multiple states (e.g. published - viewable by all and planned - viewable only by some).

NOTE: Since we are currently evaluating other controls we do have any real world experience with these, but here are some initial thoughts after looking at the following.

Other Controls
- WebPlanner by TMSSoftware
   - Lacks AJAX support (beta with ajax available 4/2007)
   - Have focused attention on being lightweight.
- WebSchedule by Infragistics
  - Extensible data provider model.
  - Runs with enableviewstate='false'.
  - Lacks drag and drop across days in a week or month view.
- WebSchedule by ComponentOne
  - Lacks drag and drop
  - Not sure it supports displaying multiple resource schedules at one time.
 
Please let me know if you would like additional information from me.

Hello,

Does whole Telerik web site works with Firefox 2.0.0.3?
I'm asking because of when I try to open in FF it seems to be loading forever.

Regards,
Dmitriy Nagirnyak.

I asked about the performance of radcontrols befor last week but I couldn't get the response.Any how I need fast suport about the performance,becouse we are working a big project on radcontrols.But the download time per page in average is 25-30 seconds.I don't know why it becomes too slow .May be we haven't understand the controls very well or  any other things.Especially in most case we are using radGrid,Radmenu,radEditor and radWindows .If there is any solution or way to minimize the download time for each page please say something about radcontrols.Especially in our country for the time being there is now good internet connection so the solution is we have to minimize the performance problem.Thanks
