And just like that, the first taste of the Q2 2009 release is ready for your public consumption. Today we have published the beta for the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q2 2009. In the beta you'll find all of the new controls I described in the "Q2 Preview" and a number of additional enhancements I did not cover. To save you some time and clicks, here are direct links to some of the new stuff in the online beta demos:
- RadListBox - Brand new control
- RadCaptcha - Brand new control
- RadBinaryImage - Brand new control (for displaying binary image data from database)
- RadXmlHttpPanel - Brand new control
- RadFormDecorator - New and improved rendering, heavily CSS-based (instead of JavaScript) now that support for IE6 has been "forked" (IE6 will still us JS-based approach)
- RadGrid - New GridBinaryImageColumn (for auto displaying images from a database), Improved keyboard support, NestedViewTemplate relations support
- RadScheduler - New "advanced templates in window" support (for display advanced appointment edit form in pop-up window instead of in-line)
- RadCalendar - New screen boundary detection for Date/Time Picker controls
Check out all the online demos and let us know what you think of the new bits. This is obviously the beta build, so there will be improvements between now and the final release in July. If you find serious issues, though, or things you think we should address, let your voice be heard early so we can work on addressing things before the official release builds are produced.
You can find the full release notes for this beta online and you can download the beta directly from your Client.net accounts. Enjoy the beta and get ready for the official release in a few weeks!

Where can we get more info on the RadWebServicePanel?
@Anon- Apologies for the confusion. The "RadWebServicePanel" from the road map has been renamed to the "RadXmlHttpPanel" because it now supports 3 modes: Ajax, Callback, and WebService. The name is not 100% final, but the control is near complete. Check out the link about for the XmlHttpPanel to see the online demos.

I like the look of the RadListBox... have always been surprised that Telerik haven't provided an enhanced listbox before. However, I was wondering whether there are any plans to support drag-and-drop reordering? It seems a little limiting to have to click a button over and over to move an item around. Would be a nice enhancement.
@Tim - Of course! That's supported right now in the beta. Check out the online demos and you should see that you have full ability to drag/drop to reorder and transfer (assuming you enable the functionality via props):

Excellent. For some reason when I looked yesterday I didn't notice the other demo pages except for the First Look page (probably because I was looking at XmlHttpPanel first and that only has a First Look page). I presumed that the Allow reorder checkbox would enable this functionality.
