Document Processing

Now application users can create, load and modify documents in a variety of formats including:

  • DOCX
  • RTF
  • TXT
  • HTML

MVVM Support

Software development is made easier with the ability to drag-and-drop a complex control from our toolbox, wire up a few events, receive quick functionality, and then move on to the next work item. Those functionalities, however, do not guarantee that the software created is well structured, easily extensible, and unit testable. MVVM resolves those issues. Telerik UI for Silverlight fully supports MVVM, allowing you to create reliable, well-structured and easily maintainable applications.
