RadControls Silverlight 3 Official with Q2 2009 SP1

Thursday, August 13, 2009 by Hristo Maradjiev | Comments 9

Built on Silverlight 3

It is official – Telerik RadControls for Silverlight3 are here with the latest 2009 Q2 SP1 release. We did our best to take advantage of all new and exciting features from the latest version of the platform. RadControls now offer a new theming mechanism and you can clearly see the difference when you open our demo examples in Blend. We also added support for .NET RIA Services for all data-bound Telerik Silverlight 3 controls. Check the codeless binding of RadgridView to DomainDataSource to see how it works. The next exciting additions are validation for all input controls and out of browser support so now you can run all Telerik RadControls for Silverlight right on your desktop.

Of course the Service Pack ships a lot of bug fixes and enhancements but stay tuned for 2009 Q3 release  – there is much more to come.

One important announcement is that with the introduction of Silverlight 3 we will discontinue the future support for our Silverlight 2 controls. With Q2 2009 SP1 we are shipping only DLLs for Silverlight 2.

    With Q2 2009 SP1 we are shipping only DLLs for Silverlight 2?
    You mean Silverlight 3, right?
  • Hristo 13 Aug 2009
    Yes, the Q2 SP1 is entirely Silverlight 3. We just added and the dlls for Silverlight 2 separately, since some clients require them.

    Our customer is bound to the Silverlight 2. Will Telerik provide - for Silverlight 2 - future updates/fixes for the Q2 2009 release?

    Does anyone know when the next service pack for WSS 3 is going to be released as it doesn't currently support Silverlight 3. Or if there is a way to get Silverlight 3 to work in WSS 3?

    @ Jani

    We will provide only hot fixes for Silverlight 2 if we find critical showstopper bugs. There won't be any new features or future development for SL2. If your application is not heavily customized you should be able to upgrade it seamlessly to SL3 with our SL3 binaries.

    @ Paul

    Displaying a Silverlight content in WSS 3 is a matter of several lines of html and javascript code. Please refer to this blog post (http://karinebosch.wordpress.com/2009/07/17/integrating-silverlight-3-in-sharepoint-2007/) which illustruates how to create a web part that is using Silverlight content.
