Telerik, AJAX UI controls and Mono support

Thursday, April 02, 2009 by Vassil Terziev | Comments 4
Had I posted the big news yesterday, many people would've probably thought that it's an April Fools' Day joke. Luckily, it's not a prank and we are very excited to announce that RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX works on the latest distribution of Mono. 
 
Telerik customers have been asking us for Mono support since 2006 and we have been quietly working with Novell to make it happen. After many rounds of feedback and fixes, we are very happy that our collaboration yielded great results - now customers can make their ASP.NET applications truly cross-platform. It's a good time to say a BIG "Thank you" to the people on the Novell team who worked really hard to make Mono support a reality.
 
You can read the full press release here:  http://www.telerik.com/company/press-center/company-news/telerik-announces-support-for-mono.aspx
 
And on Novell's website: http://www.novell.com/sv-se/news/press/mono-project-continues-to-advance-net-development-on-linux/
 
And the best for last: several hundred ASP.NET AJAX UI control examples running on Mono 2.4 can be accessed at http://mono.telerik.com
 
Enjoy! And don't be shy to share your feedback.

    YES!! Thank you Telerik and Novell! I've been waiting for this for a long time... it's the last piece for me to really try out a lot of my ASP.NET projects on Mono. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
