BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Progress (NASDAQ: PRGS), today announced the release of a series of new components within the Telerik product portfolio, as well as details on its donation to the .NET Foundation, and participation in Microsoft .NET Conf, taking place Sept. 19-21.
“As a vendor and active participant within the .NET community, it’s our responsibility to continue to innovate,” said Faris Sweis, SVP & General Manager Developer Tooling Business, Progress. “For us that means offering our customers and partners the most cutting-edge powerful controls to build modern, engaging user interfaces (UIs) for mobile, web and desktop applications.”
Progress® Telerik® UI Toolbox
Microsoft developers trust
Progress to provide them with high performance, modern Telerik® UI
libraries for their web, mobile and desktop apps – supporting both
cutting edge and older technologies. Available today, the latest release
of Telerik UI libraries offers a series of new and innovative components
dedicated to improving developer productivity, and enabling them to
build a high performance, high quality user experience (UX).
- .NET Core 2.0 Support – Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core is one of the first UI tools to offer built-in support for .NET Core 2.0. .NET Core is the cross-platform, open source, modular .NET platform for creating modern web apps, microservices, libraries and console applications for Windows, Linux and macOS.
-
Xamarin.Forms Tools – Telerik UI for Xamarin is the first UI
tool to offer predefined themes to be implemented with the new
built-in theming mechanism in Xamarin. This mechanism enables
developers to easily include, modify or change a theme within a
Xamarin.Form project. This is a highly-requested feature for
businesses looking for consistency and brand compliance across mobile
applications.
In addition, a wide range of developers requested desktop functionality for mobile development. With today’s release, the CTP of the Telerik UI for Xamarin DataGrid control is now available. Built with performance in mind, the CTP enables CRUD and data operations including sorting, filtering and grouping as standard.
- Document Processing – The Telerik desktop UI suites now offer a PDF Viewer control to enable PDF signing, filling and saving features. Developers no longer need to purchase multiple third-party tools and benefit from faster and easier document processing.
Finally, for those working with legacy code or more mature technologies, Progress has released sought-after feature enhancements, including the PDF signing, filing and saving capabilities mentioned above, as well as memory consumption optimization in the reporting tools and accessibility standards across the full portfolio of controls, in accordance with latest government accessibility standards (Section 508, WCAG 2.0).
“As a consultant tasked with building a multitude of mobile applications, I have a number of clients who are very excited about the DataGrid capabilities in Telerik UI for Xamarin, as it is a very big deal for many businesses,” Scott Peterson, Chief Solution Architect, Liquid Daffodil. “This is one of many examples in which Progress has stayed ahead of the curve – ensuring its customers have the best tools in the market at their fingertips. It is also why Progress Telerik is my choice for .NET app development.”
Community Support
In February Progress announced its
participation in the .NET Foundation and its intent to open source and
donate the Telerik UI for UWP platform, which consists of 20+ UI for
Universal Windows Platform controls. Progress is proud to announce the
completion of that donation and its ongoing support of the .NET
Foundation.
Progress will be an active participant in the Microsoft .NET Conf, taking place Sept. 19-21. Produced by Microsoft and the .NET community, the conference kicks-off a season of community and partner-driven Microsoft-focused events. As part of this effort, the Telerik UI for Xamarin team and Microsoft will host “.NET Conf – Xamarin Edition,” a series of in-person events in cities around North America. Further details on dates and locations will be forthcoming.
