Fantastic set of developer tools for ASP.Net & Silverlight development

So, for all you developers out there that ready my blog this one is especially for you. KS Design was has been, over the past year, evaluating a suite of controls for development of a high end C# ASP.Net application.

Many of you might know that designing an application is never an easy chore with "out of the box" Microsoft tools, therefore we started looking for a suite of controls that could not only meet our needs, but provide a swift integration, as well as an elegant look, with little or no customizations.

Well, we found em, and they are wonderful. Thanks to the .Net Rocks podcast, which we listen to regularly, we looked into Telerik's Suite of RadControls for ASP.Net. These controls have made our lives so much easier, and thanks to Telerik's well put together help system we are able to reference code samples and find general help on their controls, making integration to our ASP.Net applicaiton very painless.

KS Design was even able to take an existing C# application written in .Net 2.0 and upgrade it to work with .Net 3.5 (because we like to stay on top of frameworks) and then swap out controls like standard text boxes, calendars, data grids, drop downs and more with the Telerik RadControls for ASP.Net in a matter of a few days. These controls truly have saved us time, money, and a number of head aches.

Check out KSDesignServices.com and navigate around our site, we use the Telerik RadControls for ASP.Net to handle navigation, panel bars for services we offer, as well as multimedia controls for our portfolio.

You can also check out Telerik's Demo site for a full viewing of what you can do, right out of the box, using the Telerik RadControls for ASP.Net You can watch a sample video here.

If you don't use them, you should. And if you do use them, you have made a wise investment and will not be disappointed.
