We are so excited with this release. It includes tons of new capabilities and features.What a platform! We are working with the new bits from a couple of weeks and very soon we will release our controls based on this platform.  Ofcourse first we will make a SL4 compatible drop of the controls and then we will start adding the new features.

 

Tim Heuer was the first to blog about the Silverlight 4 release. Check-out all the new features and tools that are coming on his perfect blog post:

The official page for Silverlight 4 is also ready - you can read more info here:

So - what are your favorite features that you would like to see implemented into the Telerik Silverlight Controls for Silverlight 4? Is is the drag and drop from the file system? Is it the RTL support? Or maybe a native rich text editor?

Please let us know - we are eagerly waiting for your feedback!

    SL4 is going to be an awesome platform for building apps that are very close to a desktop app but still running on web and Mac.
    What makes this even more exciting, is seeing a company like Telerik with great engineering to add value to SL4. So my congrats to SL and Telerik team.

    You asked what do we want:
    A) Native Rich text
    B) SL printing system
    C) Enhancing Telerik HTML Place holder to use MSFT version.
    D) Integrating the new Implicit Styling and using MSFT Theme!

    Very exciting!

    I'll echo Ben:
    1) Rich Text Control with table support
    2) Integration the Implicit Styling into Telerik controls that that we have one styling framework would be very nice.

    Keep up the good work!

    I would like to see
    1) Printing
    2) Drap/Drop from file system.  This feature has lots of potential
    3)Clipboard support
    4)Out-of-browser

    - Support Context Menu in scope with the browser zoom
    using RightClick feature. For the moment your context menu does not correctly handle the browser zoom.

    - Support browser zoom for HTML place holder

    - Fully support OOB

    - Diagram with Drag & Drop

    - Printing.

    Clear number one for me, really excited about this release too:

    1. Native rich text editor with word processing capabilities (tables, images, printing, doc/docx import and export)

    2. Drag/drop from file system

    3. Diagramming with drag & drop

    I agree with the sentiment here. It does look exciting. Here's what I would like...

    1. Native rich text editing with features much like the RadEditor (or even better - much improved on DevExpress' SL editor

    2. A theme that looks like the standard msoft theme so if I need to use a rich control like a numeric textbox on a page with other msoft controls, it will blend in and give me a consistent look and feel
