DotNet 4.0 Client Profile

[Andy White]

Does Telerik intend to make RadControls for WPF complient with the DotNet 4.0 Client Profile?   Based on what is said:

http://blogs.msdn.com/jgoldb/archive/2009/10/19/what-s-new-in-net-framework-4-client-profile-beta-2.aspx

"Since we are considering to make the NET4 Client Profile available broadly to desktops via Windows Update, most client desktops may have NET4 Client Profile soon after NET4 releases making it ubiquitous."

It would be great we could build WPF apps with RadControls and know that many of our customers may already have the current framework.  (I'm not so concerned about 3.5 Client Profile, btw, skipping right over that).

Hello Andy,

Indeed we have plans to support .NET 4.0 Client Profile however currently System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.dll is not included in we are trying to get more info about this from Microsoft. The problem is that some of our controls (GridView, Input controls, etc.) are referencing this  assembly in order to provide metadata driven validation.

Are there any updates on this at this point?  We are planning to use just RadTreeView/RadTreeViewItem in our imminent release, but we are interested in some of the input controls going forward, and we would like very much to stay within the confines of the .NET 4.0 Client Profile.

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Eric Hill,

We will support the 4.0 Client Profile out of the box in our next official release - Q2 2010, expected in the first half of this month. Our binaries which are built against .NET 4 will target the client profile.

All the best,
