While providing the most complete LOB-applications-ready Silverlight toolset is our primary goal, performance optimizations and productivity gains will be also in the spotlight of the upcoming Q3 2009 release. The new volume brings new controls, which add interactivity and richer navigational capabilities to the RadControls suite.
On the productivity front RadGridView gets times faster thanks to a new UI virtualization mechanism. The new virtualization combined with Telerik outstanding LINQ-based data engine guarantee the exceptional fast performance of Teleriks RadGridView.
Thanks to new TileView control you can create immersive browsing experience, rich layouts and easily add animations to your application.

A creative Book page turning component is also on its way. Your end users can flip the Books pages as if they are browsing a real book.
The navigation section gets stronger with a brand new RibbonBar and RadOutlookBar.
