Entire product portfolio now supports Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 RC 
Waltham, MA, March 10, 2010 - Telerik, a leading vendor of development tools and user interface components for .NET, announced today their Q1 2010 release, consisting of a complete update of the Telerik .NET developer toolbox and the official release of Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC and JustCode. This release is further marked by significant performance innovations in the company's Silverlight and WPF UI controls, full support across all products for Visual Studio 2010 RC, as well as a new productivity-enhancing visual designer for OpenAccess ORM. 

"Telerik's Q1 2010 release is a result of our commitment to pursue product excellence, in richness, performance, and productivity", said Vassil Terziev, Telerik CEO. "Our steadfast focus on customers continues to translate into timely delivery of leading-edge updates across the entire Telerik product portfolio that push .NET developer productivity to new heights."

Q1 2010 delivers the official releases of two products introduced by Telerik as betas in late 2009. The Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC suite includes four new components, designed to enable high-performance productivity for building MVC UI. A new commercial license for the Extensions is also available in Q1, complementing the existing open source option. Telerik's code analysis and refactoring tool, JustCode, also officially released in Q1, offers full support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, additional refactorings, and significant performance optimizations. 

The Q1 2010 Telerik XAML controls include serious performance optimizations, making them the highest performing, full-featured UI components on the market. Developers and end-users now benefit from highly responsive data-centric controls, capable of working with millions of data items. 

Telerik continues to raise the bar for data access productivity in Q1 2010 with the introduction of the new Visual Designer for OpenAccess ORM. It gives developers the ability to visually create a domain model and have a working data-driven project in minutes. With the visual designer, OpenAccess combines the simplicity of visual ORM configuration with the Enterprise-grade power of the OpenAccess ORM data engine. Also added in Q1 2010 is support for embedded SQL database engine, VistaDB. 

The new release brings a new declarative data source engine to Telerik Reporting. The new data engine allows full control over data management, and delivers significant gains in report rendering performance and memory consumption. The new engine comes with support for data source parameters, stored procedures, calculated fields, and user-defined aggregates.

Also available in this release is a new version of Telerik's Visual Style Builder for the RadControls for WinForms. The tool provides a quick and codeless way for developers to create and customize control skins without the need to know RadControls essentials. The new tool delivers unprecedented productivity for styling WinForms UI.

Furthermore, the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX suite adds two new controls to the suite in Q1 2010, RadFilter and RadAsyncUpload, and comes with full support for Visual Studio 2010 RC and .NET 4.0 RC. This also includes out-of-the-box Intellisense for RadControl client-scripts, making developers more productive when they choose to write JavaScript code. 

PricingPricing of the Telerik Premium Collection for .NET, including all suites, Reporting, OpenAccess ORM, JustCode and Extensions for ASP.NET MVC, is $1,299 per developer seat. The license comes with priority support, guaranteeing 24-hour response time, as well as full C# source code, redistribution rights, and free updates to the latest products for one year.

Waltham, MA, February 18, 2010 - Telerik, a leading vendor of development tools and user interface components for the Microsoft .NET Platform, announced the Beta release of its reengineered Visual Style Builder - a desktop-based, fully functional UI customization tool that enables easy, point-and-click modification of skins and themes for RadControls for WinForms. The updated Visual Style Builder gives developers complete control over the appearance of their WinForms applications allowing them to create new themes and custom skins in minutes.

"We knew that creating a new theme, or even tweaking an existing theme took days, so naturally we had to change that," says Vassil Petev, Unit Manager of the WinForms team. "I like to think of the new Visual Style Builder as Expression Blend, but for Windows Forms - it reduces the development time to the absolute minimum. Since no development experience is required, a designer can also customize RadControls skins and themes in an instant, which was not possible before. We are very glad that we will provide our WinForms customers with this unique tool."

The new version considerably reduces the time needed for creating and applying themes across RadControls for WinForms. Without having to write complex code and know the essentials of Telerik RadControls for WinForms you can create custom skins and style elements with a simple drag-and-drop action.

What's more, all generated skins and styles can be automatically saved and reused on other controls. Thus, Telerik Visual Style Builder not only saves significant development time but also assures the uniform look and feel of your WinForms applications.

Visual Style Builder for WinForms will be officially available as part of the RadControls for WinForms suite, and online directly from www.telerik.com via virtualization.

Successful collaborative partnership with RNIB opens doors to opportunity for blind and partially sighted users

Waltham, MA, December 11, 2009 - Telerik, a leading provider of development tools and solutions for the Microsoft .NET platform, today unveiled an enhanced version of its popular RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX that includes innovative new features and upgrades, making it one of the most accessible rich text web editors available on the market. With greater ease-of-use and optimum accessibility, the new edition of RadEditor is opening new avenues of interaction and productivity for blind and partially sighted users.

RadEditor will be a key part of a new Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS)-based website developed for the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) that will enable better management and sharing of content for blind and partially sighted users. Upgrades to RadEditor were developed in conjunction with RNIB, the UK's leading charity supporting blind and partially sighted people and Content and Code, a Microsoft Gold Partner specializing in building MOSS solutions. The three organizations formed a close-knit collaborative partnership, with key development personnel from each organization working together at Content and Code's London headquarters.

"Often, when people talk about accessibility, they have neither a fundamental grasp of what the term means nor a true interest in solving real-world accessibility issues," said Tervel Peykov, Senior ASP.NET developer at Telerik and lead software developer on the RNIB project. "By working closely with RNIB, we came away with both a deeper understanding of some of the challenges faced by blind and partially sighted users and a real desire to address those hurdles. RadEditor was designed to provide the highest level of accessibility possible for all users, which translates into greater opportunities for interaction and productivity."

The product retains all essential functionality including out-of-the-box XHTML-enabled output, a wide range of HTML editing capabilities, and intuitive formatting tools, while integrating optimum support for advanced screen-reading technologies such as Job Access With Speech (JAWS). Telerik focused particularly on creating logical pathways and functionality for blind and partially sighted users, such as simplifying the process of browsing to content nested several folders deep and making it easier for programs like JAWS to recognize various RadEditor elements, tools, and onscreen dialog. The design changes have resulted in a superior level of content control and management, making RadEditor the most accessible editor on the market, according to current accessibility standards.

"RadEditor was our first choice of editor technologies to be incorporated as part of this new site," said Martin Hatch, Solutions Architect, Content and Code. "As the most widely deployed, proven, and award-winning solution in the marketplace, we felt RadEditor had the flexibility and adaptability needed to successfully implement the new RNIB website. We're very pleased to have had the opportunity to work with Telerik to bring this very meaningful project to fruition."

"For too long, blind and partially sighted people have been cut off from information and technology. RNIB aims to remove these barriers and make society a more inclusive place for all blind and partially sighted people," said Fazilet Hadi, Group Director Inclusive Society at RNIB. "We are extremely proud to make this huge step towards equality in the workplace whereby blind and partially sighted people can edit and create content on the website in the same way as other staff."

The new accessible version of RadEditor will be released in Q3 2009, and will also be deployed as part of the new RNIB website. A demo of the accessible version of RadEditor is currently available online at http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/accessibleeditor/defaultcs.aspx. A short video detailing the innovative RNIB website project is available online at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eCRTumDMS8.

With this release quality assurance professionals benefit from a UI object model that covers the complete list of UI elements in Silverlight, as well as a rich feature set with very little limitations. In addition to Silverlight automation, WebUI Test Studio also adds support for Telerik RadControls for Silverlight thanks to the integrated control translators.

Release 2.0 of Telerik's WebUI Test Studio also features a new browser addition - Safari for Windows. Thanks to the product's unique browser abstraction capabilities, QA professionals can now test against three major browsers: Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari for Windows. Finally, WebUI Test Studio 2.0 includes a completely redesigned modern point-and-click user interface, drag-n-drop wizard, and a unique 3-D Elements Viewer to help users build verifications faster and easier.

"WebUI Test Studio has been designed to be the most robust web 2.0 application testing tool available for users with advanced testing needs after speaking with our customers and analyzing software testing industry trends," said Svetozar Georgiev, Telerik CEO.
