  I just ran the sample and it's EXTREMELY fast. I did a similar test with RIA and MS grid and then with your sample, there is no comparison.
  
  Once released, I'm going to make a post on RIA forum and talk about this performance gain for people who are not using Telerik yet.
  
  Two points to consider. We will be getting RIA beta at the PDC time frame which is going to be based on WCF and will use the WCF binary compression. I think it would be great to have another similar test with the beta version to see what the gains are with your compression as well.
  
  Secondly, for someone new to be able to use this feature, what do they need to buy/have as part of their development?
  
  Thanks!

  I downloaded the sample application, which appears to be a standard .NET RIA Services application that populates a RadGridView with filtering.  I could not see anything special regarding compression.  I must be missing something.  How does this sample take advantage of compression?  The UI shown in the blog does not appear to be a part of the application, so how is it generated/used?

  Hi GEB,
  
  The screenshots actually are from Fiddler :) You can check the web application web.config file for more info how RadCompression is enabled. You can remove the registration from the web.config and check the traffic again using Fiddler or Firebug.

  Hi Vlad,

     I download the sample, and I couldn't find anything about the RIA Services Compression either. I notice there is a file Telerik.Web.UI.dll in the bin folder though. But in the web.config, I didn't see anything. Do I miss anything?

  
  

  Thanks,

  Hi Karlkim,
  
  Indeed RadCompression is part of Telerik.Web.UI - here is how to register this in web.config:
  …
  <httpModules>
    <addname="RadCompression" type="Telerik.Web.UI.RadCompression" />
  </httpModules>
  …

  I use Telerik.Web.UI Q1 2010 SP1, Silverlight 4 with WCF RIA Service. RadCompress Work only with Firefox, IE7,8 or Chrome not work.
  Have you tested with SL4? Please help me.

  Hi Ca,
  I'm afraid that current version (Q1 2010 SP2) of RadCompression does not support latest version of WCF RIA Services. However we have addressed this limitation, thus feel free to download the next internal build of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX (which will be available Tuesday/Wednesday next week) and to give it a try.
