Updates in Q1 2010

Native .NET 4.0 Assemblies
The ASP.NET AJAX suite ships with native .NET 4 builds of Telerik dll files which are currently built against Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4 RC and will be compiled against the RTM as it is officially launched.
JavaScript IntelliSense
Q1 2010 includes out-of-the-box JavaScript IntelliSense for RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX scripts in Visual Studio 2008 and 2010. You can enjoy smart development with Telerik AJAX controls by eliminating the need to dig in client API documentation and minimizing JavaScript errors.
Visual Studio Extensions
With Q1 2010 release, the Extensions package for Visual Studio 2010 utilizes pure xcopy (VSIX) deployment. You can manage your Telerik Visual Studio Extensions with VS 2010's Extension Manager and enable, disable, install or uninstall the package.
jQuery Animations
Telerik have continued to use jQuery for animation and JavaScript reduction in even more controls and updated jQuery to version 1.4.2.
New Control - RadFilter
A new control that joins the ASP.NET AJAX suite, RadFilter will allow you to build complex filter expressions (based on the data type of the source fields)and attach them to data-bound controls like RadGrid and RadListView. It seamlessly integrates with other controls and its visual intuitive UI lets you apply filter patterns for the data shown in these controls with point-and-click.
New Control - RadAsyncUpload
RadAsyncUpload is another control that expands Telerik ASP.NET AJAX offering. It enables you to perform configurable asynchronous uploads of single or multiple files. RadAsyncUpload provides smooth file async upload handling with rich progress status information display and its efficient proprietary http handler allocates minimum server memory.
