Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core versioning feedback

We need your feedback, because we are considering changes in the release approach for Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core. Please provide your feedback in the comments section below:

1. Is it hard to understand the version numbers of our releases? If yes, what makes them hard to understand them?

2. Would semantic versioning (SemVer) of our releases make it easier to understand our version numbers and what's behind them?

3. If we go with SemVer, we might need to start with version 3000.0.0 as we currently use 2022.x.x. Please share your thoughts about this approach and ideas for what number versioning would work best for you.

URGENT: ListView completely broken v2023.1.314

Hi!

The ListView is breaking my web application, and I cannot make head or tail of the reason:

An unhandled exception occurred while processing the request.

NotSupportedException: "ClientTemplateId or ClientTemplateHandler" cannot be null or empty.

Kendo.Mvc.UI.ListView<T>.VerifySettings()

Also, you demos for the ListView are broken and the browser tab crashed after a while.

I need an urgent fix, as this is affecting the live application.

Grid Column Menu Unstick Message is Null

In our UI for ASP.NET Core R3 2020 (2020.3.915) release, the Column menu message of unsticking a column is "null".

This bug will be resolved in our next official release.

In the meantime, as a workaround, manually set the Unstick Column menu message:

.ColumnMenu(c => c.Messages(m => m.Unstick("Unstick Column")))

Values clearing from multiselect UI, but still sent to controller in a custom grid edit

I have a grid with custom editors and they are bound to the grid as such.

columns.Bound(x => x.Parent).EditorTemplateName("ParentEditor").ClientTemplate("#= Parent === undefined || Parent === null ? '' : parentTemplate(Parent)#");
columns.Bound(x => x.Child).EditorTemplateName("ChildEditor").ClientTemplate("#= Child === undefined || Child === null ? '' : childTemplate(Child)#");

The two editor templates look like this:

@model List<ParentViewModel>  
@(Html.Kendo()  
     .MultiSelectFor(m => m)  
     .DataTextField("Name")  
     .DataValueField("Id")  
     .Placeholder("Select one or more parents")  
     .AutoBind(true)  
     .TagMode(MultiSelectTagMode.Multiple)   
     .DataSource(source =>  
     {  
         source  
         .Read(read =>  
         {  
             read.Action("GetParent", "Lookup");  
         });  
     })  
     .Events(events => events.Change("onParentChange"))  
)  


@model List<ChildViewModel>
@(Html.Kendo()
      .MultiSelectFor(m => m)
      .DataTextField("Name")
      .DataValueField("Id")
      .Placeholder("Select one or more children")
      .AutoBind(true)
      .TagMode(MultiSelectTagMode.Multiple)
      .DataSource(source =>
      {
          source
          .Read(read =>
          {
              read.Action("GetChild", "Lookup").Data("getCurrentParents");
          })
          ;
      })
)

The UI is properly populating when the grid loads and looks like this:

Coumn Parent|Column Child
A |A1
B |B1, B2

When the user edits the row and removes item B from Column Parent, this code is invoked (which I got from Kendo UI Snippet | Kendo UI Dojo)

function onParentChange(e) {
    var selectedonParentChange = this.value();
    let dataItems = e.sender.dataItems();

	var multiSelect = $("#Child").data("kendoMultiSelect");
	var value = multiSelect.value();
	multiSelect.dataSource.filter(getFilterObj(dataItems));
	multiSelect.dataSource.filter({});  // Adding or removing has no effect
    multiSelect.refresh();
	multiSelect.value(value);
	console.log("Second value: " + multiSelect.value());
    var dataSource = multiSelect.dataSource;
    dataSource.read();
}

function getFilterObj(dataItems){
  let filtObj = {
    logic: "or",
    filters: [],
  };

  if(dataItems.length > 0){
    for (var i = 0; i < dataItems.length; i++) {
      filtObj.filters.push({
        field: "ParentId",
        operator: "eq",
        value: dataItems[i].Id
      });
    }
  } else {
    filtObj.filters.push({
        field: "ParentId",
        operator: "eq",
        value: ""
      });
  }

  return filtObj;
}

After the code runs, the UI looks like this:
Coumn Parent|Column Child
A |A1

So far so good. The problem is that when the user hits save this ends up on the Network in the form data:

Parent[0].Id: ParentIdA
Parent[0].Name: A
Child[0].Id: ChildId1
Child[0].Name: A1
Child[0].ParentId: ParentIdA
Child[1].Id: ChildId2
Child[1].Name: B1
Child[1].ParentId: ParentIdB
Child[2].Id: ChildId3
Child[2].Name: B2
Child[2].ParentId: ParentIdB

Although B1 and B2 no longer display in the UI, they are still being sent to the controller when the item is saved. I'm not sure how to prevent them from being sent when they are no longer in the UI.

License Key Question

I have some quick questions around the new license key requirements for the UI for ASP.NET MVC, UI for ASP.NET Core and Reporting modules.

I understand from the FAQ that each licensed developer will have their own separate license key. We build the project on a separate build server, and package it into an installer, and then customers who self host run our installer to deploy the application. Is there a license key that needs to be part of the deployment package, and if so, what key is that, when does it expire, and what happens when it expires?

What I want to ensure 100% is that we don't have a situation where a customer *has* to deploy or upgrade their version of our software, even if we ever discontinue our subscription. I'm fine with developers needing to update license keys on development environments, and I'm fine with customer production environments needing a new license key *if* they are deploying a new version of our software that includes an updated version of Telerik. But it is not OK for my use case if there's a situation where customer production environments that are on an old version of our software with no plans to upgrade will stop working or show watermarks and require an update to fix.

I appreciate any clarification around this topic, or a shove in the right direction to any documentation that makes this clear.

Radedit error - System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException

I have some (9) ASPX pages with RadEdit controls in my application.
Since installing the asp.net Ajax version R3 2025 and 2025.1.211 dev hotfix (from a much older version) I'm getting an error whenever IIS tries to send me any of those pages with RadEdit (I can remove the RadEdit control and get the page - without the edit area, but if I put it back, the error returns).
The full error is:

Download an Azure blob container subfolder to a listview

I have the listview code for downloading the blob container. But I need to only get a subfolder in the container, not the whole thing. Is there a way to add the variable for the subfolder or should I structure the data in Azure differently and create a new container instead of using subfolders in one container?

public static async Task<List<string>> GetUploadedImages(AzureStorageConfig _storageConfig)
{
    List<ImageViewModel> images = new List<ImageViewModel>();

    // Create BlobServiceClient from the account URI
    BlobServiceClient blobServiceClient = new BlobServiceClient(_storageConfig.ConnectionString);

    // Get reference to the container
    BlobContainerClient container = blobServiceClient.GetBlobContainerClient(_storageConfig.ImageContainer);
    

    if (container.Exists())
    {
        var data = container.GetBlobs();
        foreach (BlobItem blobItem in container.GetBlobs())
        {
            images.Add(container.Uri + "/" + blobItem.Name);
        }
    }

    return await Task.FromResult(images);
}

How can I enable a standard html Select as a custom tool in the Editor in Kendo for Asp.Net Core?

I'm trying to add a standard html Select element as a custom toolbar item in the Editor. I was able to make this work up through Kendo for Asp.Net Core version 2024.Q4. Now in version 2025.Q1 the Select does not respond to clicking. A click doesn't drop down the Select so the user can choose an Option item. I added an onclick event handler, and the click event is registering, but it does not open the Select. The documentation doesn't give any reason why this should not work. The Select element and its Options look fine in the page. Any suggestions?

        //Add a dropdown tool for inserting symbols.
        string selectTitle = "Select a symbol to insert";
        //Standard html select.
        //Cannot find a way to use an html Select in Kendo 2025Q1. This worked in Kendo 2024.Q4,
        // after removing the 'ref-toolbar-tool' attribute from the div preceding the Select.
        string toolNameSelect = $"insertSymbol-{EditorIdClean}";
        string dropdownNameSelect = $"symbolSelect_{EditorIdClean}";
        string symbolSelect = $"<label for='{dropdownNameSelect}' class='visually-hidden'>Symbol:</label>" +
            $"<select id='{dropdownNameSelect}' " +
            $"title='{selectTitle}' " +
            $"aria-label='{selectTitle}' " +
            "style='width:150px' " +
            "onclick='testSymbolSelect(this)' " + //The click event is registered * the alert appears.
            "onchange='InsertSymbolSelect(this)' " +
            ">" +
            $"{symbolHtmlSelectOptions()}" +
            $"</select>";
        toolFactories.Add(tools => tools
            .CustomTemplate(x => x
                .Name(toolNameSelect)
                .Tooltip(selectTitle)
                .Template(symbolSelect)
            ));
