Telerik First to Support Microsoft Silverlight 4

Monday, December 14, 2009 by Nikolay Atanasov | Comments 11

 

Telerik announced today that RadControls for Silverlight 4 CTP is the first UI component suite to natively support Microsoft Silverlight 4 Beta and to provide support for the right mouse click feature introduced with the latest Microsoft Silverlight release.

The Silverlight 4 Beta version delivers powerful capabilities to business application developers strengthening its position as the number one choice for building business applications on the Web. 

RadControls ensure that developers can use RadControls for Silverlight 4 with the latest Silverlight 4 Beta version and start building their applications today.

With the Silverlight 4 Beta release Microsoft announced support for conventional desktop interaction models through new features such as right-click context menu. RadControls for Silverlight 4 now benefit from this new addition and allow you to use RadContextMenu without enabling windowless mode.

The RadControls for Silverlight 4 assemblies are available as a single ZIP download under the users' accounts at:

Note: This CTP version of RadControls for Silverlight 4 does not provide Toolbox support in VS 2010 Beta.

    Hey all,

    In case anyone is as slow as I am on a Monday morning, one quick tip to get you playing with the Silverlight 4 goodness we've just put out.

    When you download the zip file for the SL4 build, be sure to right click on it and unblock the file.  Then extract it and feel free to add references to the assemblies from the folder you extracted to.  If you don't do this, you'll get a friendly VS2010 error message about unable to load remote assemblies, etc.. 

    Otherwise, I'm happy to say I'm going back and forth between this response and my VS2010 installation and playing with the controls now and everything is working great!

    For the official release of our RadControls for Silverlight 4 we will also launch a report viewer using our latest controls (for Silverlight 4).
