Staying committed to our plan to further improve the ease-of-use and provide new controls and major features for achieving Rich Data Visualizations and Line-of-Business applications, we are proud to announce the Q2 2011 Beta release.
New Executive Dashboard demo
Telerik’s Executive Dashboard demo showcases the next generation of rich data visualization achieved with RadControls for Silverlight. Theming, real-time customization, and a dashboard structure that follows the industry’s best practices ensure that data is displayed in a meaningful and engaging manner.
New controls and major features
Persistence Framework
You can now save and load the state of the user interface so that the end user can continue working with the application as it was before closing it.
- Built-in integration with isolated storage for saving and loading the data
- Rich and flexible settings to control the serialization process
- Customizable serialization and deserialization

DataServiceDataSource
The DataServiceDataSource control ensures seamless integration between Telerik data controls and WCF Data Services. Binding to the DataServiceDataSource is straightforward and absolutely codeless. Thanks to this new control your applications will achieve maximum responsiveness as data operations will be asynchronously executed on the server.

PropertyGrid
With this new control you can easily display and edit properties of an object at runtime. The PropertyGrid provides an easy and versatile approach to processing data-objects' properties. Utilizing its auto-generation features and the intuitive custom editors’ capabilities, users will be able to either display data in a way that best fits their needs, or modify it with minimal effort.
Breadcrumb
Build complicated navigation systems through hierarchical data with many levels. With its powerful data-binding mechanism, the control lets you display hierarchical structures, such as directories and relational data.

RibbonView
The new RibbonView control now provides significantly improved XAML, MVVM, Blend and Design-time support. We had to take the decision to introduce this new control as the existing RibbonBar control did not allow us to implement the architectural changes to achieve the desired results. As always we will stay committed to assist our customers in moving to the new RibbonView control. For that purpose we will continue to support (minor bugfixes) the old RibbonBar control towards the end of the year.
