New Editor Enhancement: Undo and Redo

The UI for ASP.NET MVC Editor component has been enriched with built-in Undo and Redo commands, further enhancing the component’s capabilities.

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.

New Theme Rendering Options for ASP.NET MVC Components

Based on your feedback related to themes customizations and design language trends, we started addressing various aspects and theme improvements. R1 2022 delivers updates for the Button, Input, DateInput and DropDown components with a set of common options that will help define the colors, size and shape of individual components. 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.

Telerik & Kendo UI Kits for Figma v1.7

We officially introduced the Telerik and Kendo UI Kits for Figma a few months back with the goal to help improve the collaboration between designers and developers using Telerik and Kendo UI components. We expanded the initial set of UI components and with R1 2022 we are introducing nearly 100% coverage of Figma assets for Telerik and Kendo UI components with the only exception of charts. 

Visual Studio Extensions Improvements

The Visual Studio Extension for Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC now allows you to set color swatches (in addition to the existing themes configurations) with a couple of clicks at project creation.

New Admin Dashboard Sample Application & Visual Studio Template

Both the Admin Dashboard demo application and the Visual Studio Template showcase a full-stack .NET application built entirely with Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC components. In the demo application & the template, you can see many of the UI components in action, including the DataGrid, Card, Chart, Tile Layout, Drawer, Calendar, Form and more. The app also demonstrates globalization and localization, keyboard navigation, authorization, validation, and many other valuable features. Make sure to check it out on our ASP.NET MVC demos page!

Shared Data Source with the ScrollView Component

You can now reference external data source with the help of the ScrollView UI Component (Carousel) in addition to accepting a DataSource Name as a string in its .DataSource configuration method.

Modernization of the PanelBar Component Rendering

The Telerik PanelBar component has been given a small makeover, which is most evident when all content is extended. The panel expand/collapse arrow has been modified to a chevron, and the rendering and class modifications ensure that child items stand out more.
