RadTreeView
Drag and Drop in bound mode
When the RadTreeView is in bound mode, it supports drag and drop behavior. In order to enable this functionality, you should set the AllowDragDrop property to true. However, due to the specificity of the RadTreeView’s data binding and the set up hierarchical data structure, it is necessary to handle manually the drag and drop operation to obtain correct nodes order. For this purpose, it is necessary to create a custom TreeViewDragDropService. This article demonstrates a sample approach how to achieve it.

RadEditors (TextBox, MaskedEditBox, DateTimePicker, TimePicker, SpinEditor, ColorBox, BrowseEditor, Clock, AutoCompleteBox, TextBoxControl, PopupEditor) for WinForms
Null values support for RadSpinEditor
Since R1 2017 RadSpinEditor supports null value. In order to enable this functionality it is necessary to set the EnableNullValueInput property to true. Thus, when the text is cleared and RadSpinEditor looses focus, null value will be set. The default Value property is of type int and it cannot be set to null. A new property,called NullableValue, is introduced for this purpose and it can be set to null. The NullableValueChanged event is fired when the NullableValue property is changed.

RadGridView for WinForms
