Mobile Rendering
Since Q2 2015 release of Telerik UI for ASP.NET controls RadImageGallery is optimized for touch devices and comes with built-in Adaptive behavior. When you access the control via a mobile device, RadImageGallery will change to create a user experience tailored to the device screen size. By tweaking the rendering and improving the gesture interactions, the mobile mode has been greatly optimized for touchscreen devices. There are three general modes supported:
Image (default) mode
Image Slider mode
Thumbnail Area mode
Mobile vs Auto render modes
You can enable the mobile layout of the control by setting the RenderMode property of the ImageGallery to "Mobile". To cover the rendering of both mobile and desktop devices, you could set the RenderMode property to "Auto". This option will automatically decide how to render the control on a smartphone, tablet or PC.
