Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core: Day-Zero Support for .NET 9

To continue to provide industry-leading support for Microsoft’s newest frameworks and following the evolution of .NET, Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core now features day-zero compatibility with .NET 9.

Chart Patterns and “No Data” Template in Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Charts

With the 2024 Q4 release, Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Charts are enriched with an option to configure patterns for the chart series and a new “No Data” template.

• Chart patterns: The already robust customization options are further enriched with support for using patterns in chart series. Patterns serve to visually differentiate the chart series. See Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Charts patterns demo.
• “No Data” template: The newly added template allows you to display a message when there is no data to show, which is beneficial when loading data asynchronously, as it reassures users that data may appear after a delay. Customization of the “No Data” template is also available out-of-the-box. See Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Charts no data template demo.

Strengthen Security with a CSP-Compliant Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Spreadsheet

Having a CSP-compliant Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Spreadsheet enhances the security of your web applications by supporting adherence to Content Security Policy (CSP) standards. By implementing CSP, developers can control which resources are allowed to load and execute within their applications, helping them effectively mitigate risks associated with vulnerabilities.

Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Grid Now Supports a “Scroll to Item” Method

Effortlessly guide users to any data point with the Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Grid “scroll to item” available with the 2024 Q4 release. Whether it needs to initially display a specific row or to auto-navigate based on certain triggers or user actions, the ASP.NET Core Data Grid scrollToItem() method makes it easy to deliver intuitive user experiences.

In a scrollable Grid case, the ID of the data item is passed to the scrollToItem() method, while in a virtual scrolling case, when the row is not yet loaded, the ID of the data item is passed and a callback function to the scrollToItem() is triggered.

See the Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Grid scroll to item demo

Declarative Initialization Supported by Multiple Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Controls

Multiple Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core components now support declarative initialization—a feature that serializes the component declaration as an MVVM declarative configuration instead of an inline initialization script.

Having such functionality is beneficial when the Content Security Policy (CSP) is enabled as it eliminates the requirement to call the methods that defer the initialization script generated after the component's HTML markup.

Check out the Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core components with declarative initialization support and their respective demos:

• ColorPicker declarative initialization demo
• ComboBox declarative initialization demo
• DateInput declarative initialization demo
• DatePicker declarative initialization demo

New Edit Mode and Remote Validation in Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Grid

To ensure you’re equipped with a high-performant, full-featured Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Grid, we’ve introduced a new toggle edit mode for quickly toggling the Grid’s editable state as well as remote validation—a custom server-side validation.

• Toggle edit mode: Effortlessly switch the “Readonly” and “Editable” Grid mode. The ASP.NET Core Grid can be initialized in either of the states and they can be toggled on the client-side, depending on the application logic. Check the toggle edit mode demo out.
• Remote validation: Leverage a new validation method performed on the server-side. During this remote validation the Data Grid posts the values to the server and depending on the server response, the component displays a valid or invalid state. Check the remote validation demo out.

Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core PivotGrid v2: Feature Parity with PivotGrid

With 2024 Q3 release we continue our efforts to achieve full feature parity between Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core PivotGrid and PivotGrid v2 we’ve added key performance indicator (KPI) measurements and ability to export to Excel to the ASP.NET Core PivotGrid v2.

• KPI measurements: Display KPI measurements with a simple configuration. The Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core PivotGrid v2 now enables you to represent multidimensional data as KPI measures. Check the KPI measurements demo out.
• Excel export: If you’d like to extract and download reports or tabular data, you can now leverage the Telerik UI or ASP.NET Core PivotGrid v2 built-in functionality to export data to an Excel document. Check the export to Excel demo out.

Disabled Autocorrection is Added to Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Form

The Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Form is often used with other components like date inputs or pickers. For specific editors like these the component has e default autocorrect behavior once users type a value outside the configured min/max range. With today’s release the autocorrect mode can be easily disabled if the case requires so. A custom validation message to notify the users when an input they have typed is invalid is what appears instead.
