In a current project we need a people picker (validator - against AD preferably), like the one eg. Sharepoint but can't seem to find one anywhere. Does Telerik provide something like it or does anyone else know of such control/dialog?

Hello Thomas,
By a people picker, would you like something that shows a hierarchy?
The RadGridView hierarchy allows you to present a grid of information in a hierarchical way which may be of use to you.
Otherwise, the RadTreeView may be what you're after as it allows you to present a hierarchy of information in a TreeView format with images, checkboxes etc..
Also have a look at the Integration demos that came with the product on your machine. Perhaps the Business Card example would help you.
If you need more information on any of these, just let me know.

Hi Richard,
None of the suggested solutions really cover our need. We need a combined control that consists of a textbox and two buttons.
First button verifies the Name entered in the textbox against AD/Outlook. Second button opens a dialog which lets you search and choose a contact in Outlook address book.
If you are not familiar with this functionality, someone knowing SharePoint will know what I'm talking about. Perhaps the functionality is actually derived the Outlook API?

Hi Tomas (and apologies for spelling your name incorrectly before!)
The actual functionality of the look up against AD will need to be written by yourself, but the Telerik suite of controls contains an excellent selection that should be adequate for most needs. The Telerik RadTextBox and RadButton give additional functionality over the standard ones and it sounds like it would be a case of making your own composite control using the suite of Telerik products to do this.
If it helps, there is a good Code Project Article on AD here
Hope this helps

Hi Richard
It's an answer but not the answer I'd like to hear. We had hopes we could avoid coding a control more or less from scratch our selves. It's a mystery for me though, that this very common task, hasn't resulted in a ready-to-go control in the winforms community. I haven't been able to locate one :(.

Hi,
I've never seen one either actually. Hope that building it goes well though.
All the best

Hi guys,
Thank you both for writing.
@Tomas
Richard's post describes the situation perfectly. RadControls for WinForms and most of the control suits that I am aware of, provide you with the controls itself (i.e. buttons, text boxes and etc) and the functionality that allows you to integrate your custom/business logic in them in order to satisfy your needs.
@Richard thank you for your help.
Sincerely yours,
Stefan
