New ASP.NET Core Component File Manager

Based on your feedback many of today’s web applications you develop need to perform file management operations. That’s why we put on the R1 2020 plan the File Manager component with the aim to enable viewing folders and files and navigating through them in a handy way.

The File Manager control will let you perform common operations with files and folders such as browsing, copy/paste, rename and more. In addition to that it will provide functionality for upload and download files and search for necessary files and folders.

New Badge for Button Component

For all of you looking for user-friendly ways to notify users in your applications for activity, change of status, received message or action required, we are building a brand new Button Badge Component.

Component Enhancements

Along with the addition of new components, the Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core team also aims to introduce multiple enhancements to existing and develop new sample solutions with Razor pages and other new capabilities introduced by the framework. Stay tuned for more exciting news!

The Future of .NET Core or Better Said .NET 5

Earlier this year Microsoft announced that .NET Core 3.1 will be the last .NET Core mention. As of 2020 their plans are to introduce .NET 5. Version 4 will be skipped because it would confuse users that are familiar with the .NET Framework, which has been using the 4.x series for a long time. In addition to that, Microsoft has firmly stated that .NET 5 is the future for the .NET platform.

And while the .NET Core framework is on the road to .NET 5, we will continue to ensure that Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core is compatible with the latest .NET Core 3.1 preview releases by Microsoft.
