The two companies join hands to deliver an enhanced user experience for the DotNetNuke Platform.

DotNetNuke Corp., the company behind the adopted framework for building web sites and web applications on Microsoft .NET, and Telerik, a vendor of development tools and user interface components for .NET, yesterday announced a partnership. The company states that under the terms of the agreement, Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX, recognized for helping customers build rich, interactive web interfaces, is integrated into the DotNetNuke Community Edition 5.2 and DotNetNuke Professional Edition 5.2.
 
It explains that the Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX will provide developers with a richer toolset for developing dynamic, engaging user interfaces in the DotNetNuke platform. DotNetNuke Community Edition users will be able to utilize RadControls through standard user interface extensions provided in the DotNetNuke platform. DotNetNuke Professional Edition customers will receive a full development license for Telerik RadControls. The company claims that the development license allows the customer's developers to use the complete RadControls development toolset within their instance of DotNetNuke Professional Edition.

Shaun Walker, Co-Founder and Chief Architect of DotNetNuke Corp. said, "We are very pleased with the addition of Telerik RadControls to the DotNetNuke platform. Developers will benefit from the powerful tools for developing rich, client-side interfaces for web site visitors. Combined with the other new features in Professional Edition 5.2, this latest release should greatly benefit customers using DotNetNuke in business-critical applications."

said Svetozar Georgiev, co-CEO at Telerik said, "We're excited that Telerik RadControls has become part of the sophisticated DotNetNuke web content management system. Combining the RadControls toolset and developer rights with the DotNetNuke Professional Edition will make it possible for web site developers to easily access our powerful tools and create dynamic, interactive web applications."
