Telerik UI for WPF

NuGet.org Package Distribution

Improvement

We will simplify package management by publishing Telerik UI for WPF NuGet packages to NuGet.org and making project templates available through the NuGet ecosystem. This will streamline initial setup, improve package discovery, and simplify dependency resolution. 

 

AI-Powered Spreadsheet

New feature

We plan to enhance the Telerik Spreadsheet for WPF with AI-powered querying capabilities. Users will be able to interact with data using natural language and quickly generate insights without relying on complex formulas or manual analysis. This will improve productivity in data-heavy scenarios. 

CLI Getting Started Experience

New feature
Following up with the new Telerik CLI , we will provide a streamlined CLI-based onboarding experience for the WPF suite as well that will help developers quickly onboard the product, create and configure projects. This will significantly reduce startup time and ensure smoother initial setup including licensing. 

SmartPaste Button

New component
The SmartPaste button will enable intelligent data entry by allowing structured UI elements to be populated from unstructured sources such as emails, documents, or external systems. This will reduce repetitive manual work and speed up input-heavy workflows. 

Inline AI Assistant

New component

We will introduce a new inline AI Assistant component that enables contextual actions such as rewriting, translation, formatting adjustments, and content refinement directly within the UI. This will streamline workflows by embedding AI-powered support into everyday interactions. 

Semantic Search in DataGrid

New feature
We will be improving further the AI capabilities in the DataGrid and we will introduce semantic search that will allow users to perform natural language queries. Results will be based on contextual relevance rather than exact matches and this will improve data discovery and usability. 

End of Support for .NET 8 & 9

Improvement

Microsoft will end support for .NET 8 and .NET 9 in November 2026. In alignment with this lifecycle, we will discontinue support for the Telerik UI for WPF distributions targeting these versions. While the current .NET 8/9 distributions are compatible with .NET 10, we will introduce a dedicated .NET 10 distribution once .NET 8 and .NET 9 reach end of support to ensure continued reliability and long‑term stability.

This transition enables developers to move forward with .NET 10 or later and benefit from ongoing platform enhancements, performance improvements, and security updates. By November 2026, we will also provide full support for the official .NET 11 release.

 

Multiple Components Enhancements

New feature
We will continue refining existing components based on your feedback, focusing on the most requested features and usability improvements. Expect enhancements across controls like Spreadsheet, GridView, RichTextBox, and more – ensuring a consistent, high-quality experience throughout the suite.
