What's New R3 2019

New Component: Drawer

The new RadDrawer component is a server-side Web Forms wrapper over the Drawer for Kendo UI for jQuery. It operates on the client and provides a dismissive or always visible panel. It can act as a sidebar for navigation in your responsive web applications. It can also be used for updating the content of a section of the page. The control renders and operates on the client-side.
