Support for Visual Studio 2022

As a leading provider of .NET UI components, we are glad to announce that all Telerik UI libraries (including Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC) have been compatible with Visual Studio 2022 since Nov 2021, shortly after it was released by Microsoft. You can dive into seamless development with our web components, create new projects using our project templates & built-in layouts and take advantage of the extensive Telerik UI libraries.

New and Improved ASP.NET MVC Component: PivotGrid

The new PivotGridv2 was built from the ground up and has an updated design to ensure the performance and user experience are as good as they can be. At the time of its initial release, the PivotGrid v2 may have fewer features and less functionality than the original PivotGrid. The plan is to continue expanding its functionality with the coming releases until it reaches full parity with the original component (and even exceed it). If you are already using the existing PivotGrid - nothing will change with this update. We will keep both components side by side until we see evidence that most users have migrated to the new PivotGridv2.

Throughout 2022, we will be introducing enhancements to the way individual components work with themes to make it easier to use your own design system.
