Telerik UI for WinForms

End of Support for .NET 6

Improvement
You may already be aware that Microsoft discontinued .NET 6 support in November 2024. We would like to inform you that our plans are in line with this decision, and we will be ending our .NET 6 support in May 2025. This will give you extra time to transition from .NET 6 to .NET 8 or above. By upgrading to the most recent version of .NET, you will leverage the latest features, performance enhancements, and security improvements offered by both Microsoft and Telerik. This upgrade will ensure that you can make the most of the cutting-edge advancements provided by both entities.

 

Multiple Components Enhancements

New feature

We closely monitor your suggestions, and based on your feedback, we will gradually improve our existing components. Keep an eye on future improvements to the GridView, Form, RichTextEditor, Map components, and many others.

 

DataGrid: New DateOnly & TimeOnly columns

New feature

We are introducing new column types in the DataGrid to support the latest .NET structures: DateOnly and TimeOnly. These columns will enable developers to handle date-only and time-only data with precision, without relying on DateTime when it is unnecessary.

 

Support for .NET 10 Previews

Improvement

Telerik UI for WinForms will fully support the upcoming .NET 10 previews. Our team is committed to ensuring compatibility and taking full advantage of the new features and improvements in .NET 10.

 

Improved accessibility by utilizing UI Automation (UIA)

New feature
We are dedicated to enhancing the accessibility of our WinForms components. As part of this commitment, we are introducing improvements by utilizing UI Automation (UIA). This feature will ensure that our WinForms controls are more accessible to users with disabilities, providing a better user experience and complying with accessibility standards.

 

 

Support for .NET 9 Preview

New feature
We are thrilled to announce that our suite will soon support .NET 9 Preview, aligning with our commitment to embrace the latest technological advancements. This update will enable developers to take full advantage of the new features and improvements in .NET 9, ensuring that applications built with our components are at the forefront of innovation.
