RadCalendar v2.0

What’s New:

1. RadTimePicker - new control in the RadCalendar suite that lets you choose specific time.
2. RadDateTimePicker - new control in the RadCalendar suite that lets you choose specific date and time.
3. RadCalendar Column / Row Headers can now work as selectors or as simple headers -- use the ShowColumnHeaders / ShowRowHeaders and the UseColumnHeadersAsSelectors / UseRowHeadersAsSelectors properties to customize that functionality.
4. RadDatePicker.ClientEvents.TypingTimeOut -- new property that controls the time of firing the OnDateSelected client-side event
5. Visual Studio 2005 SmartTags for all controls in the RadCalendar suite
6. Support for the application/xhtml+xml content type

Breaking changes (Note that RadCalendar v2.0 will not be compatible with previous versions of the control):

- Enhanced skinning mechanism for RadCalendar

- Removed the VisualSettings appearance styling and it has been switched to a more straightforward mechanism for appearance customization where each calendar element has its own style e.g. DayStyle, DayOverStyle, SelectedDayStyle, etc.

- It is possible now to use different calendar skins on the same page.

- RadCalendar.OperationType property removed -- RadCalendar works entirely on the client-side unless the AutoPostBack property is set to true. Then RadCalendar will start making requests to the server (as in the old server mode).

- RadCalendar has no longer its own AJAX mechanism. If you want RadCalendar to work with AJAX requests, you should wrap it in AjaxPanel or set it with AjaxManager (both part of the RadControls suite).

- RadCalendar Preview functionality is now removed.

What’s Fixed:

1. Raddatepicker -- the new value of the SelectedDate property is now available at the Page_Load stage
2. Raddatepicker -- design-time serialization of the ImageUrl / HoverImageUrl properties of PopupButton as physical paths has been fixed
